North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Hi all,
I am heading off to the Mary river on saturday and will hoping to catch myself some good barra. could someone give me some hints and tips on the best lures and spots to try.

thanks for the help all

Justin,
when you say mary river i assume you mean the mary river lagoon on the highway?
I have fished there a bit and had limited success with classics. The fish i have caught there have been taken by travelling under the bridge and going right down to the big right hand bend. On the right hand side there is a series of drums tied together - every time i have been there we have picked up barra by trolling classics across in front of that and then down around the rocky bank.
I always see boats trolling the snags just under the bridge as well although i have nevr caught anything there but it would be worth a shot.
If i was going there i would also run a little lucifer or spearhead out the back as well to cover all bases.
Good luck
Shane

Couple of good rockbars upstream also, always worth a prospect with taipan.
