Hi @goldiefisho
I think you can say you're one of the few people to have seen a barra on the GC. They're there if you're dedicated enough, I see plenty of people getting them in the canals. apparently they're in the Brizzy River too - but one species at a time for me. First I needa crack those threadies!
They are definitely in the Noosa too. I see lots of photos from there. It's interesting really. I'm sure ten years ago no one was getting any barra in SEQ!
Cheers Hamish

Apparently they are in a couple of stretches of the Gold Coast canals as well.  I was at the tackle shop about 6 months ago and met a guy who had been chasing them.  The owner Doug Burt confirmed they are around.
And a friend of mine hooked one trolling in Coombabah Creek a few months ago.  He lost it at the boat but confirmed the species.

Regular catch in the nerang by those in the know. Below the lock on the exit of clear island waters is popular.
Cheers

Chicken works well. 

I chucked a few hard bodies and soft plastics in its general direction but it wasn't interested in the slightest. Also wasn't spooked either though. 

Hey everyone,
New member here. I was out in the yak the other day and came across a fish acting strangely around some structure in the Nerang River. I could have sworn it was a barramundi from what I could see above the waterline, but since they're basically like unicorns up here, and I've never seen one apart from the battered variety I think Im probably mistaken. Add to that I've only been fishing for about 3 years so I'm almost certain to be wrong. Anyway I'd still be interested to know what everyone thinks. I've added a couple of videos so hope it works.

Being winter, they are pretty lethargic. Especially this far south.

I'd say you're right. They are in the Coomera ( @Rocket75 has caught two there) , so why not the Nerang.
