North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Who has caught a decent barra at Manton Dam?

I'ver caught some small ones, but none of the lunkers we know are there.
I have seen the big fish on my sounder right out in the middle near the surface.

Plenty of saratoga though.

A mate reckons he trolls a big lump, that has a trench carved through it from the old days, with deep divers. Says this lump is out in the middle at the dam wall end, seems to get a few big ones there so maybe its true. I have trolled the deep banks on quite a few visits for one good fish hooked and lost. However the big fish do get into the very shallow areas but are mighty shy.... nuf said.


Chanos.

This is where I've got my one or two good ones from.
