Submitted by poddyfish on Fri, 2008-02-08 15:49.
my good mate dave came up from perth and bought a stradic 1000 loaded with 4lb braid on a raider 3-5kg rod.... it had been awhile since he landed a barra as he used to live up here and i laughed when he said he was gonna use that... well this is the result after loosing one similar earlier in the day... caught on a wally diver castin off the bank with 40lb jinkai leader... all 99cms and 14kgs of her... as with almost every barra we catch she was released to fight again and lay all those eggs she was so full of... beautiful

I reckon I could say from a fair few of us southerners,
From your last post poddy, you, brad and jay all SUCK!!!!
I miss living north of the 26...
That was the best thing about north QLD- "gee I'm bored, lets go flick some some lures"
