cat-as-trophy Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Okay so I have been since December 2006, and I was a moderator for a while. I have been a really avid fisho for years, but as yet have not been able to catch that elusive big one (hopefully that will change soon). It has taken me nearly 6 years to reach this 1000th post, but I read the reports etc at least 3 times a day. Maybe soon I will be able to tell you all about that fantastic big Barra that I know is out there with my name on it in my back yard. Until then, I will keep reading all your fantastic reports of the good and bad days had by fellow raiders, and hope to catch up with you all when we return to the East Coast hopefully later in the year. Cheers Cath (aka cat-as-trophy)
Jewhunter Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Congrats Cath! Well done on your 1000th post. Hope you're enjoying it up north. Cheers, Grant.

Trapper Tom Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Hey Cath (Cat) Have read a few of your reports and noted that you need a really big Barra. Heres A tip and a good one. You have to go to Shady Camp and I mean you gotto go. Point Stuart, hire the the Poly crafts there and try to go in the end of the run off. Other times are also good though. Do not caste and retrieve, shady is a troll spot. Don't be tempted to to go out through the tommycut channel. Stay in the river and head down to what are called the S bends. Troll gold B 52 bombers behind and the "secret" is, FAR behind like 50m. Try to navigate the passes of the lure so they they pass within 4 foot of the overhanging snags or logs. Barra are a classic ambush preditor, check out the position of their eyes on their body. There are two other close spots to the S-bends that produce really BIG fish, will track them down in my diary if you wish. PM me if you are interested and will reply will details. Thats a 1000 post pressy. And yes you DO need to go there. Cheers Trapper Tom
Ray R Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Congrats Cath, well done on your 1000 post, glad to see the little avatar is still there too...
