I'm not sure where i first heard that, but i know i'm enjoying chasing them
These are my best fish so far on Wedgetails, i think i've officially got 'Barra Fever' now

I picked this one up in the Norman on a 16cm Wedgetail.
I used to fish the rocks lots at night for Jew, but fishing off the bank up here at night feels pretty sketchy at times

If they did I wouldn't have moved North Dave I think "Just like Bass but bigger" came from an old magazine article, maybe in the '80s. They do seem to respond to a lot of the same techniques

You've got me playing with 6lb mono off the bank on the barra in a lake up here now Pearcey, when I get one under fifty I might be able to compare them properly. At the moment I'm getting smoked every time I hook up Heaps of fun on bass gear
Cheers

There's plenty of other Mozzie borne viruses up here to choose from Anthony
Small Barra like this are great fun on 6lb and Bass size lures, and go just as hard as a bass on the same gear Fish bigger than this (65cm) can be a bit of a handful amongst structure Cheers Wal

After fishing 2, 3 and 4kg mono regularly on barra, I've concluded the Barra VS Bass debate is a lot of Bollock's.
This pic was taken in 3D by accident Cheers Wal
