Causeway mangroves

On a Sunday morning me and my mate Rhett launched our kayaks off a bank at the kiosk side off the causeway. We first dropped off the crab pot to a mangrove coated bank where I flicked a prawn coloured soft jerk bait and my mate used a Sebile crankster. He got a hit and run on the third cast which left the lure savagely scratched. After having nearly no luck after that we trolled bibbed minnows over to a mangrove creek area. We both threw out a baited line and flick

ed lures on a lighter rod. On one of the first casts of the crankster hooked up on a nice little barra which was quickly released. The crankster got a few more hits without hook ups while the softies were left untouched. Rhett swapped over to a 95mm magic swimmer cast it out and made the lure dance and jiggle through the water resulting in a nice 56cm barra. No other lures worked as well as the two sebiles which activated the predatory instinct of the barra. I can’t wait to get back out on the water again with my mate so we can go and target more barra in the back creeks of the causeway. Till next time.
