G-day again.

Bout time I sent in a couple of Aussie bass pics instead of barra ones. Sorry about the quallity of the pics as they have been scaned from photos from the old camera. Cant find the disc with the digi pics yet.  

This is a pic of a Saratoga. These things go balistic and jump out of the water when hooked. Very popular with the fly fisher's. We catch a fair few on hard body and soft plastic lures. they are a surface feeder. This would only be about half the size they grow to.

This one is a Yellowbelly. Part of the perch family of native fish here. The pic is from a few years back. thats my son with his bigest fish ever. The next pic is of my boy a bit older and a lot wiser in the fishing game with his NEW BEST EVER fish. It,s a meter long  Barra, caught a ferw weeks ago.

hope you enjoy the pics.

While Im at it I may as well post a pic of a barra we caught this morning. Ben is new to the area and by a chance meeting I discovered he is a keen fisherman. Haveing never caught a barra before I offered to take hime out to see if we could add barra to his fishing list.

We done it tough with 5 fish hooked but every one of them cleared the water shaking there heads and managed to throw the lure. Finally in around 4 foot of water in standing timber Ben nailed this fish. Took some getting in as it stiched us up in the timber fairly good but with a lot of luck we bullied it out and now Ben has a new species to his list.

Wonderful pictures!  Thanks for sharing.  Those barra look gorgeous!

Awesome pictures!!  I wanna come visit! (long swim :'()

Those fish get really large.  When you said twice as big, I had no idea you meant that big!  I'm surprised these aren't a more popular gamefish.

Keep em coming!

Nothing to say but WOW.

Ok another couple of pics, First one is my PB barra caught 15 minutes after my young fella got his best fish. We were working around a weed bed in less then

3 mtrs of water just after the sun set. The next is of another caught on a soft swim bait just before sun up.

Some more sooty's

bugged up and sent the same pic twice,,sorry.

Nice looking lake and the fish aren't bad either!

Darren,

GREAT pictures! Those barra's look aggresive. I may have to hop on a pane sometime and add those to my list as well. What area of Australia do you fish?

Wow, I've never seen any of those fish before!  Very neat!
