Barra was a fail at hazelwood.
Not really into sharks tbh. But thats about the only other thing ill be able to catch in victorian waters now. Marlin and swords aside.

Had tuna, bass, kingfish and cod on the list(last year) Along with some surface lure fishing
Got all now but the cod...
I forgot whiting on poppers/surface. But that only possible down close to the border as the sand whiting dont really come this far into melbourne

Just watching them chase after the lure itself is crazy enough.

yes. or just go and chase some more fish on ultra light gear and push some boundaries maybe 2-3lb leader for pinkies sorta stuff.
didnt get to see the strike, just felt the hit, just like a std salmon hitting the lure. but everything was different after that haha.
