    I've never fished for the northern species but can only assume that they will respond well to the same lures that our the southern toga in places like borumba and cania. They are a great species for fly if your int that sought of thing, but i prefer to use spin and baitcast tackle. I like to use small hard bodies, weedless shrimp and insect shaped soft plastics and spinnerbaits. The major problem you will face is the sought of spin tackle requied to deliver the plastics i use (3inch berkley craws and 3 inch atomic prongs)is going to be insufficent for you in the case of a good barra hopping on, i only use 6-10lb spin gear at borumba for them. Spinnerbaits are a great way to get strikes but the hooks don't stay in. the extra weight of these lures make it easier for the fish to throw the hooks from their boney mouths when they tail walk. stinger hooks on spinnerbaits are a must.
