Re: the 2012 Barra Nationals results, I have been told the following, but not by the committee ... so no guarantee re accuracy.
60 teams and 180 competitors
24 x metre-long barra taken by Thursday arvo
About 500 fish by Thursday arvo
River started rising from Day One after heavy rain, and started falling Thursday
If you recall, last year was a bumper year with record numbers caught that may never be broken, thanks to the big wet season. There were 2169 barra in 2011, with 16 over the metre.
So though numbers are down this year, it is interesting that total meteries is up.
I'll post official results as soon as they come in, anyone with more info feel free to post.

And the big fish are turning up higher in the river as well. Usually you gotta wait for a few big sets of tides to bring them up as far as they are now.

Re: 2012 Barra Nationals results
Seems to be a lot more across the board eh, did the Nationals fish under the new rules or is it the Classic?

Re: 2012 Barra Nationals results
Champion team - Classic Warlocks (John Millyard etc)
Champion local team - Go Easy
Biggest fish - 114 cm Russell Fry.
500 and something fish caught - record amount of meter fish - 25, equates to 1 in 20 fish being meterys.
River rose about 2m mid week and pretty much shut down making fishing very hard.
More to come
