La Belle Station Barra 2008
Submitted by timvb on Wed, 2010-10-06 10:04
While I was working out of Batchelor in the NT in late 2008 I took the opportunity to head to La Belle station chasing barra. I went with one of the guys from work who had been there previously and got fish up to about 1m. The station was awesome, with 4 large billabongs that are all stocked with fish, though they only fish one of them. Had just bought a Tierra 1500 with 6lb braid and Daiwa procaster 6-10lb so was keen for some action. The fishing was great, with gold bombers and deep divers all producing good fish. We both caught lots of fish, I kept a 65 and 70cm fish, they were a little muddy but great in a thai green curry. There were a fair few crocs around, they mostly just stayed on the banks though luckily...
