okay, can't show you the photos because i couldn't work out how to load them. something different with these but have sent them to rob to load.

this was a 108 cm barra caught at awoonga dam, about five hours north of brizzy. a stocked dam but the fishing is apparently sensational.

rob, time for a small czard few days away!

it was caught by my cousin's husband, a very keen fisherman (taught him everything he knows!! actually never had a chance to fish with him yet).

Looks like he was using a soft plastic on 50lb mono.

Legal size in most places is 55 centimetres (close to 2 ft).

I have caught them on fly using "Pink Things" but generally in the 70-85 centimetre mark.

The Barramundi is actually a Giant Perch. It hits a plastic/lure/fly/bait in much the same manner as a large Mouth Bass.

This fish was taken in an inpoundment dam (Awonga) where they cannot breed and reach remarkable sizes. Wild ones, particularly in salt or brackish running water are perhaps the best eating fish in the world.

Well why would they cut off the best thrills of life by not allowing them to breed? You would bulk up too if you never got the opportunity to breed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barramundi and Bass need to head downstream to Brackish water to breed. They hit the dam wall, hang around for a month and then dissipate back to their structures.

It is the reason that there is no fishing on most dams 400 metres from the dam wall.
