We headed off from the east arm ramp at about 8am, the water was like glass... but the boat ramp was not.... looks like someone pressure cleaned it
We headed of to old mates spot to fish the last half of the out going tide. When we got there the bait fish were in the mangroves and the only thing in the deep water were small queenies. That soon changed as the tide started to fall.
We anchored up at a small junction and within minutes there were barra boofing and mullet swimming like thorpie down the creeks. We used rubber prawns in white colours and I had mine on a 6kg threadline out fit. First action was not from a barra but a nice goldie of about 30cm. And didn't it just love that prawn.
The Barra were hurding the baitfish up onto a mud/sand bar and I changed over to a gold bomber on the loomis. Boom 1 barra on... then ah bugger 1 barra off... not a good start to drop the first 1 of the day. 5-6 casts later and I was on again and this one made it to the net. 59cm of nice silver barra not big but it was good for dinner
Old mate hooked and droped 1 on a rubber prawn then he landed a nice goldie of about 40cm. He was also busted of by a nice size barra .... but long distance releases don't count....There were boofs all over the place but the water was dropping quick so we had to leave
We then went over to Riecharts were old mate got 2 nice barra 60cm mark on them little rubber prawns again. Before we decided to stay in the good books with our wives and head home early.
All in all a very good day for a harbour barra fish. There was some great boofing action that kept the heart rate up. Old mate tells me it is normally better ....
so I can't wait to see that action. cheers and I hope you lucky people who got out today got some fish as well.
