North Australian FISH FINDER forums

A few of us had a houseboat last weekend, we took a couple of tinnies with us. We'd been a month earlier and had caught stacks of tarpon and saratoga on z-man frogs and sammys. We only got one barra on that trip. This time around, even the saratoga were relatively quiet- we got about 10. We fished into the night, but if anything the fish were less active at night. Not a barra to speak of, and I don't think anyone out there had much success. It's my last trip to Corroboree this year, I reckon! It has been pretty average for barra for a couple of years now.

I fished for a couple of hours sat morn and got 8 togas. Prob lost just as many too. Maybe right place at the right time theo.

Saratoga get boring after a couple though!

We had a little outing with the PGFC on sunday. Out of 11boats only about 8 toga were caught and 6 barra which all came from the rockhole (where the hill starts there is a stretch of ribbon weed) and only one of those barra was legal at 56cm. Same time last year we were getting plenty of barra out of the rockhole on the cast with the odd toga and tarpon thrown in for good measure. Pretty slow going and I don't see it improving anytime soon. (hopefully it does though)
