Popular Post JDP Posted August 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) My daughter has been away for week trying to get herself a big barramundi. Six days of flicking lures from 2hrs before sunrise to 2hrs 14hr days and she's finally nailed a big fish of a lifetime in terms of Barramundi. The thing in her hand is a scale.

Guessing it put up quite a fight? She's using light bait caster outfits flicking very light lures but surprisingly she quoted around a 2 minute fight. Even though the outfits are light to be able to cast hour after hour, the line class is 40lb braid and 80lb leaders. Due to snags and structure most barramundi anglers fish almost full drags to try and control them as quickly as possible. Another highlight was a barking owl flew into the room they were staying at as they were eating pizza. This is commonly known as a barking owl. Shes now around 5500km from home, still fishing on the Fitzroy River the opposite side of the country.

Hoop Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Awesome looking creature, always strikes me as looking prehistoric. Do the scales give an indication of age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I love the owl, (no need to all agree), but then I'm barking mad! Geoff. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
