John, attached are some pics of the fish caught on Friday and Saturday. One was 98cm and one was 110cm. Both fish were taken on Halco Laser Pros. One of the lures (2 sets of trebles) was well and truly swallowed and the other lure (3 sets of trebles) were hooked up externally. Out of the three sets of trebles, the rear set had pulled free with one hook straightened, and on the middle set of trebles one hook was holding, while one of the other hooks were pulled straight. It was good to buy some tackle from a local shop, instead of buying from a larger retailer. Some of the info you get from a local is very handy and it helps keep a local trading in the area, so when you want something in a hurry there’s somewhere you can get it. I will recommend the shop to friends on our future trips.

Dear John & Jackie
Hi' again Jacky, Ros caught her on one of tim's lures it was the purple and
silver one , the time was around seven thirty. Ros' would be proud if you
used her pic's and tell john we caught her and a few more at the point near
the main basin that he told us to fish. Thanks again for your help to
capture such a beautiful fish, it was just as rewarding to see her swim
away. Hope to see you guy's soon .
Cheers Ronnie & Ros

Hi Jacky, Thanks for sending con note and for organising delievery of my order, will let you know how we go with the fish. Also,many thanks to yourself and John for the good advice on the right gear for these magic fish. Pleasure to talk with people who have specialist knowlege for Barra fishing, living with the fish as it were. I have found it frustrating to read and be advised differently from each tackle person you talk to and end up with gear that does not suit either myself or the fishing style. Happy to have found the web site and I am bound to become a frequent visitor. Look forward to viewing the monthly specials as well.

Just wanted to drop a line to thank you for your help last weekend. No good news unfortunately and all we had to speak of were the two hookups that got away. It's a bugger but that's how things go sometimes.
Anyway I like to let people know when I think they go the extra mile and provide good service with a smile and thats what you did.
Thanks and we will drop in again next time we come up.

Hi there Jacky,
Just a quick photo of my first barra I caught on Saturday trolling in the basin. Just want to thank you for all the help you gave me Christmas Eve just before you closed.
Greatly appreciated. My barra was 117cm long and over 50 pounds as it went off our scales.
