[shortie]

anyone else

[kevinchen19870316]

for those who wanna get out of a fish drought, barra park's the best bet.

[fishyman]

hey kev are you gonna target barra only??

i went there last week and from what happened to me i wouldnt even bother lure fshing in big boys pond not one got pulled out of there all day if you want barra on lures stick to barra creek. berly up the area with 6 or so pellets but dont keep throwing them in you will only feed them. cast out your swim it to depth thin flick your rod tip then pause and let the lure suspend. try to use barbless hooks and a thin gauge for ease of penetration and ease of release.

if yoru interested in some other species go fish the mixed species pond there ar over 40 species in there but i dont know how prolific some of them are. i know for a fact that there are huge bream flathead and barra in there aswell as some pretty hefty GT's, Tarpon, Giant herring, milkfish, jewfish, the guy even said there are snapper in there so who knows what you might catch

good luck kev take som egood photos.

[kevinchen19870316]

thanks for the advice

is it really snaggy is there and how deep is the water. i will probably fish mix pond then

[fishyman]

there are NO snags pretty much.

thats the one thign me and my dad were not very happy with there is no where for the fish to have structure in barra creek or big boys pond.

mixed species has some nice drop offs and weed beds but make sure if your wading through weed beds wear big tuff shoes as i saw a mid crab that would have taken my foot off. bloody huge thing would have been bigger than my wde brimmed hat.

[fishyman]

as for depth im not sure mixed species looked deep

[kevinchen19870316]

lol, i think i have enough time to go through most of my lures tomorrow. i'll recharge my DC tonight

[shortie]

Kev,

I will pick you up a 6am.

Im taking only 6lb gear. should be a bit of fun.

Also maybe take the fly rod as well.

this is what i'll do :laugh:

i will take off my 23lb varivas casting pe..........

and check every cm of it to make sure it's in good condition

then put it bakc on:P

i'll oil my reel to make the most of its casting performance.

the last thing to do...

put 1.9m of 20lb vanish on as leaderB)

[fishyman]

i suggest scrap the 20lb leader and go 6lb i didnt catch a single fish until i changed to my bream gear which had 6lb fluro.

those barra see alot of lures and if yours isnt the most natural alive looking one they wont hit it

[mackmauler]

Scrap the lures altogether and use baits, catch barra all day that way.

[CrayfishMates]

The problem with that is, it is more than likely the barra are pellet fed and once trained up for that, they rarely take anything else.

[fishyman]

well actually mate the day i went there was more barra caught on lures than bait (incl pellets) about a 5:1 ratio.

[CrayfishMates]

No doubt, then they must not feed them much. It is more an observation from experience with barra in tanks and ponds than the barra park itself.

[fishyman]

they feed them once a day on pellets.

the main reason for the out fishing was more peopl eusing lures as it is more fun than soakin a bait

[CrayfishMates]

Was there many caught?

[fishyman]

well on lures about 50

i only saw 1 caught on bait but there would have been more

[CrayfishMates]

Hence my comment against using bait...

[fishyman]

pretty much the only bait people use thee is pellets.

in big boys pond large fresh live or dead baits are a good bet

[STU]

I was loading some freight today from ridleys aqua feed there was heaps of pallets of barra feed there wish I could sneak some out of work

[kevinchen19870316]

here i promise i will catch a barra on 20lb leader and i'll do it with lures

[CrayfishMates]

No doubt you will Kevin...

[Feral]

Dunno about these days, but originally one of the ponds was a self sustaining ecosystem, they did not feed any of the fish, they just stocked mullet and other breeds to create a food chain from the weedeaters all the way up to barra.

If they still have that pond it would be the one for lures / bait I'd reckon!
