Off to a local haunt we head, poking around looking for Barra. A lot of small baitfish in the harbour, but not much boofing or nervous water to be found. We sighted a couple of Barra chasing bait on the edges of the mangroves but we couldn’t hook up to any. So into the small creeks and backwater we headed. Again a heap of bait but no signs of any Barra. I motored the boat up to the rock bars, and with a bit of momentum raising the motor as we go I managed to get right up one of the reaches. As we drifted back out with the wind picking up a slight amount we cast at the snags with soft plastics. The wind pushed us back down the creek at a nice pace.
We landed Cod, Bream, Trevally and a nice size Mangrove Jack (42cm) to end off a quick morning session.
No Barra for the brag mat this time.
