Righto o
If you have never caught a barra in your life then this will be your opportunity. All you have to do is get to karratha this season and i will do the rest.
Up a creek fr two night, ill provide the gear, the swag, the piss and put you on to a good fish in a couple of nice spots up our remote pilbara region. I guarantee it will be a truly unique experience, im sure we could even tie up the trip with MR Fishwrecked himself to come along. All proceeds will go to Fishwrecked.com
Jump on board, ill start the Bids at $100

Metre plus?
What's the chances of putting the lucky bidder onto a metre plus one Brad?

Silly question...
Might be a silly question Jay, but I don't know a great deal about Barra fishing - are bigger barra's further north? ie Darwin and thereabouts? ... or are there a few metre plus barra's around your neck of the woods?

there's plenty of meter
there's plenty of meter barra in the Pilbara, the average size we encountered last year was about 800mm. We hooked a couple of fish we can confidently say were over the meter mark but we didn't land them.

got back from karachi late
got back from karachi late last night .geeze theres plenty happening on f.w over the weekend.
as for this thread at $220 its a bloody steal ,2 nights every thing layed on BARGAIN considering who eva wins it will probable drink $50 worth of piss a day
went crabbing yesterday .bit to much run im guessing but did see a big silver slab chasing down mullet right behind our tinny just before the run started kicking in.big scales had to be a barra .good size too
always in it just the depth that varies

I do plenty of trips to Hedland so it isn't far away for me. Never fished for barra before so even an 80cm would be awesome

Thats it fellas
Keep that total rising, this is almost the same as getting your own barra tour guide, brad was at the barra nationals last year and did very well. The one thing you know will be different from a guide is that Brad will bend over backwards to try and get you a fish!

yep I second that, November
yep I second that, November is my favourite month to catch barra. It's usually when they're well and truly on the chew and coz it's early in the season it's really exciting to get stuck back into it.
