Thread: what's your personal best impoundment barra catch!!

  1. #16

    Re: what's your personal best impoundment barra catch!!

    My best is a 119cm barra caught at Faust on a slick rig. Caught it in 10ft of water with weed to about 6ft. Was using 20lb braid at the time so it was a pretty scary battle.

    3 of us spent 2 nights on Faust and caught 8 barra only. All of them over a metre, all barr one on slick rigs. Dropped about 20 though.....

    My best ever night fishing....

    this is mine, second barra I've caught. First one was 800mm and this one was 1070mm. Johny Mitchel was my guide for the day and couldnt have had a more enjoyable day. Certainly the best money I've spend on a guide/charter

    My best so far is 117cm, caught on a bleeding mullet coloured classic barra +10. It was caught on the first hour of my last trip to Awoonga, after an 8hr drive and we left the camera in the car. Luckily we got a pic with my phone but the quality aint great.

    Re: what's your personal best impoundment barra catch!!

    Last Sept at Awoonga my mate trolled up a 121cm in the shallows. While he was fighting the fish, I flicked a slick rig out and hooked a 119cm ! It was every man for himself then!!! Of coures the associated bragging rights were used and abused for the rest of the trip

    I will post the pic of the two brutes lying side by side on the casting deck, when I get on my own computer (this is a work one )

    Previous December I landed 3 x 118cm in a row on the same point!!....Just cant crack 120cm................This year!!

    Cheers steve

    hi Steve B nice fish, we once had a double hook up and Peter Faust one 110cm and the other 104cm barra. On the full moon. After we release them, Next couple of minutes then we hook up again, but we didn't land those ones.
