Awoonga Barra
Submitted by PilbaraBrad on Wed, 2008-02-13 15:43.
Am in very wet QLD at the moment. Went for a quick drive to Awoonga Dam near gladstone today just for a look. Flicked a few lures around off the bank and caught this 83cm Barra(which is small for this place.) Was my first impoundment barra. Very lucky to land it, the reel i was using shit it self and i had to skull drag it in by hand with the thirty pound braid (ouch) was stoked so i decided to call it quits after my luck. Might take the boat out tomorrow.

spot on andy, they do that
spot on andy, they do that in the rec area to prevent erosion i guess. Mate it is a shame you cant see the parking lot and picnic table to my right. A far cry from fishing for barra in the pilbara that is for sure
