Barra fish in a Pilbara storm!

On my days off, me and a mate went down to a not-so local creek for a barra play. There were some storms building inland but we thought the usual would happen and they'd rain out before they got to the coast....nope, they didn't. For the first time I reckon, we were whining about being cold in summer!!! It rained for a good 4 hours off and on, and the Barra didn't seem to like it. We managed one 83cm trolling before things seemed to shut down, even the bycatch like Jacks, Salmon. After the water temp starting at 25 degrees in the morning the next day we got another 83cm trolling and another 67cm on plastic before heading home into that dammed NW wind!!!
