20.01.2022 I always pay attention to how a fish ate the lure, this one has been down its throat and back out. You can tell it went in head first by how it is hooked and th...en add slight chafe to the leader.. #barramundi #payattention . . . . #motackle #ejtodd #manicmates #simmsfishing #lowrancefishing #fishingaustralia #fishing #sunline #makoeyewear #okuma #okumaaustralia #tackletactics #inspiredfishing See more

16.01.2022 David & Amie had a great time catching Barramundi recently. David emailed his story and photos to us. Big congratulations to you both and thanks for sharing. Before coming to Callide we had only caught 1 barra each! Needless to say we had an absolute blast and certainly will be back. It was our first morning on the water, I was throwing squirrels into the timber as I know they are an effective lure. We were slowly moving up toward a likely looking snag. I casted my lure in ...and worked it back as usual, on the pause it was annihilated! I saw a huge flash as the fish rolled quickly after the hook set in. Seeing the large sized flash I was delighted when it swam away from timber toward the middle of the dam. It jumped wildly trying to throw the lure. At this stage I had only caught one other barra of around 60cm, knowing how rare it is to catch a metrey I unconfidently called this one to be a metrey. During the usual to's and fro's of gaining line, losing line, my FG knot gave way, I was heart broken.....I've tied countless FG's and caught many fish before, WHY DID IT HAVE TO SLIP ON THIS BLOODY FISH?....it just wasn't meant to be. Feeling absolutely distraught I ponded if another one of my lures would ever swim past a metrey again? ....I picked myself up and less than 5 casts later my lure was smashed again!! This time the fish was smaller. After seeing and calling my last fish for a metrey, when I saw this one I thought it'd be around 65-70cm- as it was much smaller than the first. The battle wasn't quickly over as it jumped and pulled line on several occasions. When I saw how big it was in the net I thought to myself maybe I'd underestimated it's length. It measured in at 94cm! An absolute donkey of a '2nd ever barra' caught during the first 30mins of fishing. However this does beg the question and still hurts me to think about....how big was that first barra I lost? It made this 94cm giant look much much smaller.....It was certainly over 1m...probably over 110cm maybe even 120cm? Later that night a 10y/o boy from Mitchell QLD landed a 119cm...There are absolute monsters in there, I cannot wait to be back to try it all over again The biggest was Amies 100cm! See more

16.01.2022 Congratulations Roamin, and thanks for sharing
