Box of Lures
Cousins on tour
With run off in full swing , two cuzzy bros came along for a week of Barra fishing (and other target species)
The water had settled and river turning back to its natural state, this period, over about 3 weeks the fishing was absolute fire.
These fellas brought along ‘the’ box of lures with a list as long as long as the tackle shops itself.
Trialling different lures throughout and enjoying quality banter, both managed some bigger model barras and many other fish during the week.
Biggest highlight I witnessed was fishing a deep snag well up within the system,
A big bend with deeper water , there was a fallen tree along its edge that was up to 6-8 m deep. With just its old weathered tips just breaking the surface.
Starting with vibes and soft plastics managed to nab a few great fish, and then quickly a large prawn was put on.
First drop down , it got absolutely smashed- imitating the cherabin that are riddled throughout the river. Chaos on the boat. Fuck we love chaos.
Landing what I was led to believe his biggest barra , a chunky 90s model appeared!
Can’t remember how many they pulled from it but wowee it was a hot little session, but as soon as too much was going on, the fish had moved, more than likely picking up on the mates that had been jagged up.
Back down the river to hunt , plenty of beers made for tricky fishing after that 😏but a great bit of fun for the cousins.
