A Couple nice Barra Fri night...
Packed the boat up and headed up the ck last on friday only to be met by dirty dirty water and a pretty strong NW wind coming thru....
Thought we'd give it a crack anyway and got some live bait, cracked the first (of many) beer, kicked back and enjoy the serenity as you do up here in Broome....Only for a saltie to pop its head up 3m away from the boat, have a look at us and the bait bucket then disappear and grab my mates lively, come back to surface, smile and cruise off towards the bank with bait in mouth.... Didnt take much to bust him off either as he wasnt stopping.
Come 5pm and the sun starting doing its thing with an awesome sunset and the wind rapidly dropping to absolutly nothing, then bzzzzzz first run and on..... Nice barra leaping out of the water and going nuts.... Was a great fight and after a few big jumps was landed..
92cm to open the accout for the night.. After a quick few photos it didnt take much for the lively fish to swim away in a hurry
Reloaded with a fresh mullet, threw it back in next to the snag in the exact same spot.... A couple of beers later and I was holding the rod this time in freespool.... Line slowly starts to peel off and luckily heading out into the middle of the river then pickedup speed and took off... Time to strike I thought and another nice barra headed for the stars in another awesome aerial display... And it was on again in another challenging fight as she turned and headed back for the sticks.... Needless to say the little curado was under the pumped to try and turn her... Came very close but managed to get her back out and more jumps around the boat, then landed... 95cm barra.... Awesome... Then we fished till abut midnight for only 1 sawfish.....
Great night out... Had a quick fish in the morning too but nothing, home by 1030 saturday.. Cheers

Bring some of that luck with ya
You better bring some of that luck with you when you come down to K-town this week. Went 2 days ago, my deckie got one- 78cm and we ended up bloody drunk at 7ish, I dropped 2 while live-baiting at night, one was bangin it's head against the side of the boat while I was trying to wake up my mate with the net!!!!
Shoulda just leadered her over the side but looked around 90-odd but not the best thing for a fish that size!!!
Seeya Tues/Wed mate!!!!
nana nana nana nana fishing!!!
