Awoonga Help needed

[lethal098]

Gday guys,

I am chasing some helpful info in regards to fishing for Barra at Awoonga dam, we are heading up there in October for our first attempt at Barra fishing, The first day i have booked a guided Trip With Johnny Mitchell, but we are going to spend a couple more days fishing after that.

I need some help in regards to tackle required to chase these monsters. Rods and reels is all good but more chasing some reccomendations on the Lures, plastics etc and other helpful information so we can be armed for when we fish by ourselves.

Thanks in Advance.

Cheers Lee

Hi Lee .... I'm not sure if you'll get the information that you are seeking atm - fishing is "tougher than tough" - in the dam
Below - the wall was red hot up to a few days ago .
as Lyndon pointed out , JM is guiding in the Boyne along with other guides - Maybe there is a clue in that ;)

Thanks Nagg,

I was talking to Johnny the other week and he told me about starting to guide in the boyne, As per my original Post our trip is not until October so hopefully by then it all changes.

Just want to start stocking up on the weapons for the trip thats all. 1 lure every couple of weeks and the Mrs wont notice.

Cheers Lee
