Re: Barramundi cod from Reichardt Creek
I have killed a lot over the years,they don't handle getting pulled up from 120ft of water.
Flicken
Another random fact too, for those interested a 50cm mangrove jack is around 20 years old making my mates 98cm one he shot out near a headland in 2010 not far from Dhanya pretty ancient. .. and definitely a lot older than me and him put together
50cm jack is about 7-8 years old then the growth slows right down,takes another 50 years to get to 100cm

Re: Barramundi cod from Reichardt Creek
See plenty of Barra Cod when spearfishing and line fishing on the reef over here (Cooktown) nearly always in pairs and can get fairly big. They are a 'No Take' spices here in QLD. They are a very curious fish and will often just sit there and look at you when you swim towards them.
Too pretty to eat.. I reckon anyway!

Always cast at anything floating in Darwin Harbour. Have caught a heap of triple tail this way. Biggest one I have ever seen caught was under a pelican torch floating by itself.theodosius wrote:A mate got a tripletail up a creek yesterday
Saw a huge one as thick as a case of beer cruising the east arm wharf rock wall the other day at work. Pity I was on the wharf working.
