Early Barra for Sarah

Early Trip.

 

 

Getting withdrawals so packed up the camper trailer and roof topper on Friday arvo ready for an early start Saturday. (as new boat still under construction) Bacon and egg sangers on the road kept us busy for the 11/2 hour drive to the launch site. We arrived with about 3hours of the run out still left, there were already a few boats on the water and a few more arrived after us.

 

 

We unloaded the gear and headed up stream to the rock bars to cast for some Jacks. I was using soft plastics and my daughter was flicking some hard bodies around, she struck first with a good size jack now the pressure was on. All I could hear was one nill one nill from the front of the boat, we stayed till the score was even (if it took all day).When the tide had dropped enough we headed for some trolling sections, pretty quiet till the tide bottomed out then Sarah hooked up on a nice little 72 cm Barra which she bought to the boat in a very professional manner.

 

 

Not much for the rest of the arvo bar one little Cod and a couple of small flatties and bream. The score was 5 to 4 her way mmmmmmmmmm oh well up to the camp for some beers and a camp fire, what a way to spend a week end.

A few around, though as you know weather has cooled a bit now but should be good to go when you arrive.
