This weekend couldn’t have come fast enough. It seems the more time I spend up the creeks the more addicted I become. This time it was a mate of mine brucester that was tasked with pulling the anchor and carrying the live bait bucket. Bruce hadn’t had a lot of opportunity to chase barra yet this season so when I gave him a last minute call he jumped at the chance to try and open the account. We started the day well, picking up two Chromies on the trawl early. Two more fell victim to the ol’ live mullet in the mud hole trick. All in all it was actually very quiet, there was not a lot of by catch to keep us entertained. Also we didn’t drop any barra so the strikes were few and far between. Having said that, I loved it. It is still a good way to pass the time when you are busy drinking beer. I can’t wait to get back amongst the mud and midgies and wrestle with my next paddle tail
First Barra measured in at 68cm
Second Barra was a solid 74cm
River queens put up an amazing fight, complete with aerial show (pic: Brucester)
