With all of the excitement of the weekend, I nearly forgot to mention that the Barramundi have made an early start to the "season". I went out in the kayak on Saturday and got two confirmed hookups (on the wrong gear - my Bream rod) and two good runs that couldn't have been anything else but Barra (unfortunately no hookups, but at least they were on the Barra rod.)
I was never going to be able to stop the Barra on 4 lb line and a number two hook and a 4-10 lb very fast action rod, but it was a lot of fun trying. The aerobatics were fun to watch.
This might explain why the threadfin have been scarce - the two species seem to be mutually incompatible. Perhaps it is because they both like the same food?
