The Downpour

The recent rain falls and floods have done some crazy things to the marine environment, one in which particularly amazes me. Lake Awoonga one of queenslands leading inpoudnment barra spots went from being considerably empty to so full there were massive volumes of water gushing over the spillway and with it many many fish. take a look at some of the things that were happening.


Take a look at the black areas in the wash, believe it
 or not they are just really big barramundi.


GAWB hatchery people taking a look at Barra they are catching
to make sure everything is going well.

Keep coming back for more fishing activities with video logs on lures and more fishing trips to come.

  2. Yes they really are, the first picture is the best because you can see one lone barra and that will show you how big the rest of them are.
