Thread: Barra caught at Bribie Island

  1. #31

    Re: Barra caught at Bribie Island

    Xerebus has got a point. Enlarge the pic above 700% and you will notice the pixelation in the landscape is different than the bloke holding the fish. The top part of the fish tail is also a different pixelation and is strighter than the rest of the tail as if it's not been cut out of the original properly and a piece is missing.........it could be simply curled inwards though.

    It's a hard call but I've never seen pixelation dissimilar in the background to the fore ground before. It could simply be that because the background is composed in the main of verticals and horizontals that diagonal pixelation isn't shown.

    Top Tip:

    Expensive hair gels are a con. Marmalade is a much cheaper alternative, but beware of bees in the summer.

    The image looks quite ridgy didge to me.

    Im going out on a limb here tho..............with the angle of the picture and the lay of the fish are we possibly looking ad a jewie on on odd angle and we have barra implanted in our minds?

    The body resembles a jewie to me more so that an barra.

    Just have a look at the latest SST



    Ain't no barra going to be eating anything if it was swimming around in 16 degree water

    I can understand it at Noosa, but not the passage!

    that proves at least it wasnt transported there for a photo opportunity

    I hope the barra are coming to bribie as it will save me alot of money in fuel and I will have more time fishing for them rather than a six & half hour drive to awoonga .

    cheers fae haggis ...................

    Suspect the upper reaches of adjoining creeks/tributaries are being influenced more by the cold than the passage (or anywhere in SEQ) which would be warm by comparison and the resident barra are fleeing toward more open waters.

    cheers fnq

    I just came back from Brisbane last weekend and i can tell you that it is bloody cold there at present, certainly not conducive to catching Barra at all.

    My Dad tells me it's been around 4 degrees in the northern suburbs the last week - Brrr!!

    This morning on scarby reef I had frost form on the face of the sounder about an hour before first light. Does that mean it was a tad chilly or that i was insane for being there?

    Mate so long as you got a feed or had a good time even if you didn't it was justified in my books!

    Hang on...does that all mean that I should be able to catch a barra at Ballina............. soon!

    Re: Barra caught at Bribie Island

    Ok, might be changing my thoughts on this.....

    Todays paper in Coffs Harbour reported the catching of a BONEFISH!!!! by a local angler, who took it into Fishing Tackle Australia for identification - he'd caught a Whiting on Steroids!!!

    What's next? New Guinea Black Bass in the Tweed?

    Re: Barra caught at Bribie Island

    I remember reading many years ago about a week of catching bonefish on a norfolk island beach by an aussie on holidays. Was an article in either fishing world or modern fishing in the 1970's or early 1980's.
    That would be similar latitude i guess.
