Yeah no probs just let us know before you come up and ill sort something out

Dostylz, Sure am, living here now

Yes I realise it is illegal to target them but I basically just throw big lures at snags/mangrove roots, a technique used to also catch jacks, fingermark and cod. Can't help any barra caught as by catch

Yesterday went for a landbased flick at the mowbray river about 60K north of Cairns no fish caught though my mate had a 80ish barra have a go at his lure and not hook up and I also had one of the same size have a crack at my lure. So today we took the boat up to chase some fish in what seemed to be a nice healthy river system and hopefully catch a few. The day started off alright with me picking up a 30ish cod in the first 15 mins and died off from there. We casted at the mangrove roots and snag riddled banks with shallow and deep diving lures for nothing. While moving spots my mate threw out his lure to have a quick troll while I moved slowly towards the next spot when all of a sudden I hear "I'm on!!!" followed by his 3000 size reel screaming. After a fairly long first run he managed to get it fairly close to the boat and it was off again and this went on for about 10 minutes, I called it for a trevally but soon enough we saw it and it was HUGE and it was a BARRA! He didn't wanna be near the boat and it took another few minutes to get him aboard. Dehooked him snapped a few fotos and released. Happened to also be my mates first ever fish on a lure!! haha won't be beating that one for a while. He was stoked. Went 97cm Still waiting for the day I catch a barra!

wouldnt work...pics to come
