rangfish 1 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Howdy everyone, as a few of you might remember I was heading up to Darwin for a few weeks..(5 months ago) I forgot to put up the pics of that trip. I went on a Charter out to one of the Billabongs and we landed 5 Barra I got two, only at about 55cm which is just legal, (both released) But it was my land based trip that yeilded my most interesting fish which was a GT of about 50cm, I can honestly say it was the hardest fighting fish I've ever landed, I thought I had a big Queenie or Barra.. And also a few days later I managed a 60cm Barra that put on a spectacular show when he smashed the lure of the surface and then jumped a few times out the water. I hope I remembered how to attach pics properly, here is one of the 60cm Barra. I'll try and get one of the GT. Sorry it took me so long to get this on here but I've had a bit on my plate the last few months. trihull, 4THALOVE and piratepom 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dylzzz69 95 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Nice mate,I'm heading to darwin in a few weeks to hopefully beat my personal best size of 30cm I'll be land based. Reckon you could point me in the general direction of where to fish?I'll be hitting up the fishing shops up there and taking a few of my own as well to see if they work on different fish.Lines tight!
