North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

My youngest bloke , Liam, scored his first Barra early last Thursday morning at Manton. Got it trolling a Reidy's Goulburn Jack in 7 metres just off the rocky point on the way to the wall.
Happy as Larry he was.......the oldman was outfished by the kids......again!

Good work liam, Blinky, do you fish manton much??? and how do you go?? never fished there,but more and more peolpe seem to be givving it a try, a mate of mine scored big fish on a number of occasions last year.. it can only get better...

I fish Manton a fair bit, mostly early morning or very late at night, only cause of the waterskiers, I'd like to give it a real good workout during bankers hours but the skiers give me the screaming shites.
Done quite well, usually manage to pick up a fish or two on most trips. I have found the best time is 5 nights prior to the full moon. Have never caught anything casting, trolling only, around the rocky parts to the left of the boat ramp and down towards the wall.
A mate has got some monsters way around the left across the other side of the lily forest casting rubbers. And I believe some guys have a bit of luck casting at the rocks across from the boat ramp.
I'd like to lift the rope this time of the year and get a bit closer to the wall, but I'm a bit "howyagoin' about get busted by the rangers!
I reckon in a year or so, when someone really gets it wired it will produce Barra that rival the Awoongas and Fausts of QLD.
Good luck if you give it a go, it's nice and close to home.
