You Know You're a Barra Fisho When.......

Post by Mud »

You know you’re a barra fisherman when.......

You intend to see the Incas, the Taj Mahal, Paris in the Spring and The Great Wall.
But not till you’ve seen a Meterey, a 120, a Black Bass, a Nile Perch, a Tiger Fish,…….

You haven’t got a clue what these colours look like
Cobolt
Magenta
Cerise
Chartruese

But you know exactly what these colours look like
Elton John
Guns n’ Roses
Bobby Dazzler
Nitro

You can name 18 Australian animals…….and 122 Australian fish

You can’t drive across any water, no matter how small, without checking for surface activity

The following action gives you all the information you need to buy a rod.
1/ You hold it pointing out in front of you one handed by the butt
2/ You wobble it

You can’t look at most southern trophy fish pictures without considering the live bait potential of the fish

You have eight dead reels in a box in the shed that you keep for parts
You have never fixed a reel using a part from an old reel. Ever

You can’t believe how many rods you now own
You can recall buying just one of them.

You think Robson Green is an opinionated self obsessed twee Jordy twat.
You wish you were Robson Green

You once went on a Yellow Waters Sunset Cruise and never saw the sun set.
(You did however return several weeks later with a dinghy and a rod)

You know the closure dates for every regional water system including bag limits and tackle regulations.
You don’t know what subjects your kid is doing at school this year
And you’re not sure of their birth date….April I think…yeah it was runoff

You spent your landie years wondering why boaties didn’t need deckies more often
You spent you boatie years wondering why you can never find a deckie

You open the BOM radar more often than you open facebook


Feel free to add!!

When a 'birds-nest' has absolutely nothing to do with birds.
" YOUTH is a GIFT "
"AGE is an ART "
"Doesn't mean you get any smarter..just wrinkled and cracked".

"No angler watches nature in a passive way...He enters into its very existence." (John Bailey...Reflections on a Waters Edge)

"Govern a Family as you would catch a small fish....Very Gently." (Chinese Proverb)

"Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish." (Rafael Sabatini...1857-1950)

I pray that one day God sends me a fish so big that, when talking of it...I have no reason to lie.

Or when your kids ask for a 'popper' and you take them to Frenchies tackle shop.

Giving directions a tackle shop is a landmark ( 4 doors up from tackle world pinelands).

Look at the supermarket fish section just to scoff at $29.99 for barra when you spent $200 on the weekend fishing and got 2 Powertail.

You turn off IFish when bream and whiting are fished for.

When all the knots you tie on anything are fishing knots.
A Fish in the Boat is Worth Five in the Shop.

Your wife tells you the kids have a sleepover, she has bought new lingerie and read 50 shades of grey that afternoon.

.....and you are busy packing the boat for an overnighter.

You are willing get out of bed at a ridiculously early hour to drive over 500+ ks and 100+ ks in the boat, spend a heap of coin just to cast or troll a wobbling piece of plastic that vaguely resembles something a barra may eat, in the hope that you may get to experience the joy when a slab of chrome latches onto it.

When the kids throw a ball in the pool and it reminds you of the fish you heard but couldn't catch the other day :-)

You go to pack the boat and have to decide which rods and which tackle boxes you are going to take this time!! At the same time you are trying to visualise what size the bait will have grown to!
If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!

Especially when you can see them!

When you lay your Barra rods on the bed and say...honey, you'll have to sleep on the couch tonight.
