Catching
a monster
Barra is
high on
most anglers
wish list!
Queenslands
Barra impoundments
are where
people are
heading
to try their
luck and
test their
skills,
to land
one of the
big ones.
With
well over
20 dams
stocked
with Barra
through
out Queensland,
barra
fishing
has never
been more
accessible.
But don’t
believe
the old
wives
tales
that impoundment
barra
don’t
fight
hard,
this story
explodes
this myth,
and shows
the pulling
power,
acrobatics
and general
dirty
tricks
employed
by these
fit and
fast fish.
Legendary
fishing
identity
Jack
Erskine
teams
up with
Lindsey
Dobe
and Ed
Vander
Kruk
on Lake
Proserpine
for some
sizzling
barra
action,
while
we also
get behind
the facts
and people
behind
the Qld
impoundment
barra
story.
Ed used
Daiwa
fishing
rods and
reels,
and most
of our
fish were
caught
on Killalure
Barra
Baits
and Classics.
Even though
we were
fishing
in heavy
timber,
we didn’t
lose any
of these
great
lures,
because
we used
a Strikeback
Tackle
Retriever.

more so.
