Nice surprise
A good mate of mine got on to some good barra 10-15 kilometres north of Onslow a couple of years back. Biggest fish went about 90cm.

Gulf Barrra
Mate, that is a top capture there. I would give anything to come up tight to one of those in the gulf but you have given me hope. The old bucktail jig kills it on the flats too hey!

The bucktail jig is the lure
The bucktail jig is the lure for flats for sure. I made up a few before the trip in case the more expensive lures didnt survive.
It would be great if some bigger models started to show up, will see what happens in the next few years.
yeah the shirt is pretty appropriate as she was home with the kid :)
