this is last weekends effort

awesome barra river on Howard island, lots of feeder creeks.


i churned the water to foam, casting all sorts of lures and all i caught was this thing.


i am going to a little island about 60ks offshore tomorrow so hopefully it will go a bit better.

not a common barra lure there shep?...

haha i know that feeling heres my first an only barra iv caught a couple of yrs ago

hay timbo, it is a blade lure and they work very well and as a bonus they are cheap
and come with barra ready hooks.

proven. they do catch a wide variety of fish..... even foul hookin em.

some of these where caught on a blade lure and some on big squidgies.

thats a nice catch. Might have to give them ago, beign complete metal they would be pretty handy for macks too.

and they also cast very well, i reckon they are going to be the next gold bomber.

Gotta agree with ya there supazuk they are awsome lures, i like the smaller versions and light spin gear its awsome fun. Gotta say though do you always use those clips? I know its a pain havin to tie new knots and leaders after they become too short but they do have a habit of loosing fish and hindering some lure action. Just my thoughts.

i agree about the clip and i was only useing it as my leader was getting short and i was trying out a
stack of new lures. i think i am getting addicted to internet shopping

some nice fish there shep. i did 650kms on saturday night out to shady and south culvert and caught bugger all.

hay chucky. i went here yesterday
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&sour ... .90863&z=9

caught at least 60 of these, not real big but there was lots of them


i didnt get any photos of NW croc island but we also went to NE croc island
or at least that is what my GPS calls it but i haven't been able to find it on google maps.

NE croc island, fish everywhere


my boat went really well and for a 145km trip only used 65ltr of fuel and the ocean
was so flat that i was able to cruse at 60kph most of the time, not bad for a punt hay.

Jealous Much

haha it is a good spot.

i went for a bit of a fish today and as we got back to the launch spot we saw this fella
he was launching his little tinny by pushing it into the water with his toyota
if you look closely you can see the drag mark from when he towed it there with no trailer.
some one who is better then me might be able to make the photo bigger.

i woke up at stupid o clock and decided to go fishen


i planed on going to a reef about 20ks from home but there were queenfish smashing up every where
so i played with them for an hour or so.
i caught lots of these. i have lost my brag mat so i dunno how big they are.

i got a bit knackerd on the queenies so i headed on out to the reef and thought i would try a
new lure style(new to me) and caught this on the first drop and then on the second drop i
had something large steal it from me.

after my flash new lure got stolen i gave soft plastics a go and caught a few GTs

then it was time for poppers
more GTs

the GTs became to much like work so i threw a couple of sailfish lures out the back and did a bit of trolling.

caught 3 of these before all my sail lures got stolen.

haha then i got bogged getting my awesome offshore hornet out of the water.
