Another barra report

After yesterday's success I couldn't resist going down for another crack at some early season barra this afternoon. Had a red hot little session nailing three to 75cm all on lures. Gave poppers a shot in the hope I could get my first barra on popper. Had a couple of strikes but they didn't hit them as hard as the minnows and it didn't hook up. All fish were released.
