    until
    The annual auction night will be held on Wed 18th August 7.30pm. This event is hosted by the Brisbane Sportfishing club. Bring along any fishing and boating gear you want to sell. All items will be auctioned (you may set a reserve price) and club keeps 10% of the sale price. Good place to pick up some bargains as there is usually lots of gear for sale, some good quality and near new, and not many buyers, so lots of bargains to be had.Venue is:Brisbane 16 ft Skiff Sailing ClubQuay StBulimbaWednesday 18th AugustStarts 7.30pm.Come early if you have items you want to sell so that can be registered.

    catfish in the Brisbane river are blue catfish. ANSA records for blue catfish is 12.6 kg, salmon catfish 15.4 kg. 8 kg is still a ripper though.

    Depends a bit whether you plan to cast lures in heavy timber and need to stop fish fast, or whether you plan to troll in open water. I reckon most people go way overgunned on barra gear, and honestly it is not necessary. Same goes for leaders. The main problem you have in using a little 3000 size reel is line capacity, you might only get 100-150 m of 40 lb braid on it. To give you an idea of what is easily possible, I caught 6 barra in 3 days from around 70 cm up to 97 cm trolling lures on 6 and 4 kg mono in shallow water close to weedbeds. I was using 60 lb black magic leader. I lost 2-3 other fish all due to them throwing the lures. None of them busted the line or took me around any trees. Point I am trying to make is - you don't need heavy braid and heavy twisted leaders to land barra - unless you are in heavy timber. "Don't believe the type" Jeremy
