GregL Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi Raiders After watching a few fishing shows of late on Fox and seeing all those cracker barra being landed, I had to get up there. A unexpected call from a bream comp buddy who just booked a trip and was after another starter to cut the costs a little, it was an immediate "I'm in" before he even finished the question..... Just booked myself into a Barra Charter up on the Barra dams for 3 days guided fishing. Anyone been up there before? Is it worth taking my own gear or the gear good enough? What sorta line class in a spin and baitcaster do you recommend? Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregL Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Which dams are you going to Greg? Hi Icey Going out to Awoonga and Monduran and third day will be the best of the first 2. Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I would think the guides would have pretty good gear especially if you are fishing with Jason What I use when up at Awoonga is a 10kg spin outfit with 10kg braid and 24kg leader It does me for everything in the dam but then for some reason I only seem to get the 60-80cm barra yet to get a metery Need to get up there a bit more often and tow my own boat instead of relying on a mates When are you going?

GregL Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 We are going early Nov and yeah fishing with Jason. Heading up with Micky C so plenty of good times for sure...... Fingers crossed for a shot at a 1m barra, that's all! Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Great time of the year to be up there Should be stable weather and not the dreaded southeasters You might not be able to fish to well you will to busy laughing at Mick Moreso if hes telling stories about Jorg Just a side note My biggest barra at just over a meter came from under the highway bridge over the Boyne river at Benaraby on a 6in nilsmaster You will be crossing over that bridge at some stage Edited September 9, 2008 by The Iceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
