Best Lure For Weipa Barra!

[clifford]

Hey guys,

Im heading up to weipa in two weeks and am currently looking to stock up on some lures so i just wanted to know if anyone has some good ideas on which ones to choose, what colours and how many im likely to go through in a week up there. I will be spending 3 days in the esturies plus a couple of days outside on the reefs. I have heard that b52s are good and i already have a few xraps but would like to have a good variety!!!!

Thanks

Cliff

Greeting Guys

I spent a few months working in weipa,

I fished rocky point boat ramp every morning before work and every afternoon after work.

to be honest, i was hitting 30kg barra.

but not on lures.

large dead or live mullet did the trick.

I saw countless guys come over with lures for only average results.

However if I was to use lures, it would be very large rubber fish, say at least 15cm.

without the weighted jig head.

just cast it out and let it flop on the surface, with an erratic retrieve.

regards ilk.
