North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Finally got the boat in the water and we hit the Harbour. The water temperature is getting nice and warm and the fish are moving around a bit.
We got caught in amongst a heap of small barra pushing up some bait fish in the shallows.
We just hooked small barra one after another.
I finally hooked a nice specimen which had me in and around the rocks before we got him to the net. 67cm of the Harbours best hit the floor and I sat back then and watched the deckie toil with the juvenile barra one after the other. We picked up a little jack on the turn of the tide also. He was sent back to the depths to grow up and give someone else some joy.
All in all a nice day on the water.

Top stuff Dex. The best time of the year on the harbours now.

Good result nice and close to home. Just goes to show you don't always have to do the big miles

Great result Dex

I used one of Shanes 35lb wind on leaders. As I tend to catch rocks hand over fist where I fish, having a leader that hangs in there is a must. I ping the jig head off most times which returns lure and leader back for some more fun. The leader worked a treat and took some hammering. A very good product Shane.

Cheers mate - glad they worked well for you - the 35lb ers are proving very popular for the flats and drains fishing - thanks for putting them to the test - good to hear you have been back out on the water - far batter than working all the time.

Here is a by catch we picked up also.
