Am curious how are people finding it?

Was successful with ballot for Thursday yet have no experience going for barra or what outfits of bait/lures especially for a sticker waterway

Going with another experienced ppb fisherman and any advice would be great!

I fished it yesterday.i would definitely take a experience d fisherman with you.its tough fishing and without knowledge you may drive around night and day for zero like a few boats did yesterday

We started fishing a bit after 12 am and fished to 1pm....

We caugtt 4 barra.the biggest would off been between 50 to 55cm.there typical impoundment barra that dont fight much.

we used our lightest gear to improve the fight.when I go bacnext week I will take lighter gear again

the water temp changes all the tine .the barra holding in the 28 degree areas werent feeding.

you needed to find the fish in the 32 plus water.

Cheers bm

Awesome thanks.... can i asked what you guys used to catch?

Given these are stocked fish, i wasnt sure if there are self sustaining and if so what they eat in there.

I assume sizable soft plastics would work best
