Gday mate, I’m new to salt water fishing, I’ve always wanted to catch a Barra…. I’m heading up to cairns now, any tips? Bait or lure?
New sub here and tight lines brother 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
I’m a lure guy mate so can pretty much only comment on that… although a lot is transferable to bait. Lot a different ways to target Barra but happy to put up a few basics to point ya in right direction. Being winter mornings will be tough so target the afternoon low tides in shallows to find warmer pockets. Look for bait and patches of dirty water where the Barra can hide. Lot assume Barra are always on snags but 80% of mine are in open water where warm pockets, food and dirty water meet. As for lures… everything eats a prawn and I use a lot of prawn style lures. Don’t fish Cairns much so can’t help location wise but plenty of areas to work lures up there. Hope this helps… feel free to reach out if you have any other Q’s… and good luck 🍀🎣
Sensacional!!
Thanks mate glad ya liked it... Catch Ya! 🎣
Nice barramundi mr 🎉❤
Thanks mate… 🎣😎
Nice 👍
What time is good for barramundi fishing with zman
Key to barra is understanding their habits. Some call them lazy but I prefer instinctive and energy efficient. In really simple terms... ingnore the time of day, work out what they are feeding on, and then where and when their food source will come to them. Do that and you'll catch'em. 🎣

How did u rig that zman surface lure?
Hey mate... with an unweighted TT 6/0 chinlockz EWG hook mate. 5/0 is a good size but I like the 6/0 for a bit more strength. I use a bit if thin copper wire to bridle the chin so it doesn't slide around. 🎣🎣
Was that a dubble stinger hook?
What hook id number looked like tinned hook
Hi bro no need to use jighead
Not for surface... I prefer EWG hook and if I need a little weight I tie a small ball sinker in loop knot. 🎣
What is the place?
North Queensland 🎣
gear?
Hey mate… currently I run a Samaki skitch X rod (701ML… or 701M for bigger fish) with a shimano stradic ci4 3000, which is no longer on the market, so I’ve switched to a shimano Vanford 3000. Standard braid is 20lb Schneider but I drop to 15lb in open water to achieve longer casts. Leader is 30-50lb Schneider fluro depending on size of soft plastic and fish. Hope that’s useful mate thanks for asking. Catch ya 🎣
Bro where is the location
Hinchinbrook in North Queensland 🎣
the barra has a tag
Yes… I’m involved in a tagging & monitoring program so all the fish I release get a pink tag. 🎣
