Promised to post this a few weeks ago, apologies for the delay.

Previous years Daly comp results are on the attached image.

To compare ...

2021 Barra Classic was 1045 fish
2021 Barra Nationals was 2134 fish

2020 comps were cancelled because of COVID.

Someone here mentioned there may have been a different scoring system at the 2021 Nats that might have changed the total compared with previous years, I have asked the Nats mob if this is true as I dunno. Will post again when I confirm either way.

Regardless, this year on the Daly - after a decent Wet, following two dud Wets - was way better than some people predicted.

Was plenty of fish in 2021, but not many really big ones.

Elsewhere in the NT, like the Mary and Kakadu, plenty of big barra were posted on social media, not sure how that translates overall as I have not talked to anyone out there yet about how the "season" compared, but what reports have filtered back suggest it was good.

I haven't fished as much as I did 5-10 years ago but I was even more of a gumby back then so it's hard for me to compare 😅😅

Updating this thread, total fish caught at the two big Daly comps.

I'll look up total local rainfall for each year later ...

2021 Barra Classic 1045
2021 Barra Nationals 2134

2022 Barra Classic 934
2022 Barra Nationals 980

2023 Barra Classic 279
2023 Barra Nationals 1440

A top-scoring competitor told me that teams who know how to use 'Active Target' technology are doing well in barra comps, picking out and targeting big fish.
