How has your barra year been so far?
Since 2005

funny how different strokes for different folks , iv gone the other direction last 4 months changed all my braid to 50 pd from 30 and rarely run leader under 80 more often 100pd . i changed every thing up after thinking of the big fish iv lost in past 5 years , and the extra pound / strenght would most likely been enough to at least land half wat got away. loosing big fish is not a laughing matterFlickin4em wrote:It's been about average with my 101 and 92 to prove it so far. However I usually wouldve got a few more big girls in and photographed but it has proved to be not quite so easy on my light spin 4 -10lb trout or bream rod I'm running for the year . . I've lost a fair few that size or bigger too probably 5 of them wouldve gone over the magic $ mark for 2018 so far but unfortunately with the light spin gear you've got to be super extra lucky aswell as quite skillful on those bigger fish in a bad, snaggy, small area to win the battle. bl..dy good fun tho if you get them in it's an epic battle you'll remember forever. . . . Realistically it'd probably only be 30% of 'em though .... maybe
But if they dont want to count either of them in their precious ol boys fff comp due to not playing by "the rules" in the comp with a tapemeasure instead of bragmat. ... I'll just simply catch more big ones later on and ill have the new mat and paper to enter it with and make them whingers eat a d!ck.
Being completely unattached to your favorite lure in the box is a commonly unrecognized asset for light gear barra fishing too. . I've done another 300 bucks already for the year in lost fish on yozuris, 6 inch nilsies, samaki vibes and 12cm xraps already so far and there's bound to be plenty more lost lures before the year's finished
LOL. The local tackle shops are loving it each time i rock up .
This year has been un-real so far! which is a bit of light at the end of a dark tunnel because past couple years have been quite kaka for me. Got my new PB this year 97cm and my last pb was 94cm from when i was 16 in 2012.Flickin4em wrote:It's been about average with my 101 and 92 to prove it so far.
