February Barra ballot?
G'day fellow fisho's,
Just wondering if anyone has heard about the results for the February ballot? Results were supposed to be emailed out in early January, but I still haven't heard anything
Regards LTM.

Re: February Barra ballot?
i wouldnt bother going tbh. theres no fish to be found in the normal fishing areas, yu have to fish in the NO boating zone which is a $300 fine if caught.i got my ballot in the mail, so it might come in the mail or you missed out.
besides that being summer now, the place will be full of jetskis, i left after 4 hours of fishing and when i was retrieveing the boat the jetski brigade turned up, lucky i already planned to leave.
you might be lucky you never know. barra mick is fishing it today i believe, see what he has to say

Cheers purple5ive, I ended up ringing them up. February ballot is being sent out this week. They did confirm I got a spot.
I've got a spot during the week, and after school holidays, so hopefully the jet ski's will leave me alone.

thats good news mate, i reckon they are now literally giving it away.love the murray wrote:Cheers purple5ive, I ended up ringing them up. February ballot is being sent out this week. They did confirm I got a spot.

from what i have heard and seen with my own eyes, there was no where near the 25 boats on the pondage at any given time.
it might have been the case when it started, but i only counted 15 trailers when i was there. and even less number of boats on the water, so some must have defenitely been fishing the no go zones.
good luck with it, and hope you catch one.

Cheers mate, I'll have a couple of nights on the **** with a few good mates, the fishing is really irrelevant
Probably head down for a bit of surf fishing afterwards as well

Cheers Milk man, sound like weekend slots were well in demand, but during the week was fairly quite. My mate and I, asked for Thursday and Friday. We both got Thursday, but neither of us got Friday.
As of the 1st of March, the fishery is open to everyone.
