I recently went and did some exploring in a new system I hadn’t fished before, I wanted to see what was about in general but deep down I was searching for some new barra to play with…

Well I wasn’t disappointed! After scoping out the creek on google earth I had a bit of a game plan put together, based off what I knew about barra from the other areas I fish I had an idea of where I wanted to be and when and boy did I find some fish!!

The big girls weren’t too eager to play the game on the first day and I’d learnt a valuable piece of information, so I went back the following day and filmed what I thought was going to be a hot session. I got one good fish from 3 bites over 4 hours, but once again I’d learnt another piece of the puzzle. It’s all part of the game we play when we target large barramundi!

Eager to learn more I went back a week later on different tides to see what affect that had and the game had completely changed so I decided to look elsewhere and found the fish stacked up on drains and snags, and the best part, they were feeding!

There’s plenty of info for everyone in this episode from sounder reading to how I set up the boat to fish for Barra. So have a watch as I go through the learning process and talk through what I’m doing to put these fish on the boat!
