Webby and bruce get into a few barras
This weekend couldn’t have come fast enough. It seems the more time I spend up the creeks the more addicted I become. This time it was brucester that was tasked with pulling the anchor and carrying the live bait bucket. Bruce hadn’t had a lot of opportunity to chase barra yet this season so when I gave him a last minute call he jumped at the chance to try and open the account. We started the day well, picking up two Chromies on the trawl early. Two more fell victim to the ol’ live mullet in the mud hole trick. All in all it was actually very quiet, there was not a lot of by catch to keep us entertained. Also we didn’t drop any barra so the strikes were few and far between. Having said that, I loved it. It is still a good way to pass the time when you are busy drinking beer. I can’t wait to get back amongst the mud and midgies and wrestle with my next paddle tail
First Barra measured in at 68cm
Second Barra was a solid 74cm
River queens put up an amazing fight, complete with aerial show (pic: Brucester)
Little blue salmon
Brucesters season opener 80cm
Biggest of the trip, 83cm of nigh time barra
Cheers

Yeah white bravo was mine mate. We were lucky they passed just south east of us. Covered the sun in the Arvo that was a welcome relief.

Great fish fellas.
Im pretty sure I saw you guys on one of those days in one of the 'Harding rivers', but I might be mistaken. We went to the George and cleaned up as well.
How hot is the water!
Go the Eagles.
