queensland Noosa Barra, Are they becomming a viable species?

[Carter]

I was down at the local tackle shop yeterday having a general chat and was suprised to hear that at least 4 meter plus Barra were caught last week apparently in the "Woods Bay area" but really under the Munna Point bridge . All very late at night on poppers and big Livies. Also a handfull of smaller Barra up to 70cm were caught between the lakes where I chase Jacks. Kimbo who caught the 105cm model a few weeks ago has done it again and has a quick video on Davos Noosa report of a 103cm model.

I still havent nailed a Noosa Barra but you'll all knmow about it if I do

they are the southern most breeding population in the noosa system.. i heard of a 120cm from cabo river recently plus they have been caught in the brisbane, logan , coomera and nerang. look forward to your report of a noosa barra

Seem to be stories coming out regularly about Noosa barra, I reckon its worth specifically targeting them in the system

Netters in the top lake have apparently been getting 'em for years. Carter you might need to fish with worms mate ......

Kim's a mate, he fishes long time!!! Yep he's the guy fishing by himself at 3A.M when most sane people are asleep. Awesome catches, he deserves them!!!!

People still nail Barra as far down as the goldy, whether or not they're aquarium escapees?..... It doesn't matter I reckon it's just plain awesome!

Definately a viable target, Noosa R. is listed as the most southern distribution of the species as far as I know. Any further south and I'd probably go with aquarium fish that have outgrown their living quarters.
