More harbour barra

Post by theodosius »

Hi guys, went out for a fish on the harbour 2 weekends ago. Plenty of surface action as the tide dropped out of the mangroves. I ended up with this guy and 6 of his mates, all on KO weedless flicked to the snake drains. Good water clarity meant plenty of exciting sight casting. One trick I've learned is to really minimise any movement at all. Even retrieving with your elbows moving too fast can scare the next barra 10-15m away if he is sitting in super shallow or clear water.

Nice fish!

We put a Gopro in a crab pot a few weeks ago and when we got it back we could hear every word we were saying on the boat - it was 4 m deep.

Both movement and noise don't mix well

Be cool to see your Go-Pro in a crab pot video.
