Went over to Woods inlet and got bugger all. Bait was a bit hard to find. Did manage this bloke near the breakwall-


And this fella-

Here's a nice Barra one of the guys from work caught yesterday in the Mission R just over the other side from where I live. 110 cm.



Cheers.

Bakes, try the patrol boat ramp at Larrakeyah Bks (if it's still there), for Queenies and Cobia.
Last time I was there, we got a 8 Kg Queenie on a handline. And got snapped off by some that were much bigger...

Thats where I was Sambar...just got the spelling wrong

That is a nice Barra GG

My eyes!!!



Looks like you guys had fun.

I recognize a Barramundi, but what's that other thing that looks like a cross between a mackeral and a pomp?

That would be a Queenfish... Also known as a "Queenie" or skinny fish depending on where you are from. Spectacular fight from them with some dramatic aerobatics.

Some like them as an eating fish but I find them a little dry. Must be bled quickly. Great fish tossed on the BBQ fresh though

To dry for me to Wiz. This big bugger is in my freezer. I'm going to try my hand at casting it.

Here you go mate, a Queenie
