Something cathartic about hearing the water lapping against a tinny while fishing. Nice work again mate👍🏽

I always find the sound of the water lapping the aluminium hull to be extremely calming. Thanks for your support!👍

Can't beat live baiting for barra. It's hard work at times but is worth the results when the fish are on. I'm so hungry now for some fried crumbed barra bits. Keep the videos coming mate with the great content.

I agree there is nothing wrong with the eating quality of a cod. Thanks for your comment!👍

That gold spot cod is very yummy. I like deep fried one, deep slit on both side, toss some turmeric powder & salt, marinate for 10 minutes before going into hot oil

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Excellent video again. Great to join you for another wonderful day fishing in the beautiful North Queensland outdoors. Not to often do you get to see the strike happen on screen. Did I see your sinker on a separate drop line?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

It is great fishing when you can be confident the next bite is about to happen and leave the camera on to capture it. I was fishing with a Paternoster (dropper) rig which has the sinker attached to the bottom. Thanks for your question!👍

[@Thewasp3827]

Sensational video and great little session. I fish around the Proserpine/Bowen regions not far to the South of you but only just starting to learn how to catch Barra. Everytime I use live prawn I have similar issues with all other species like cod/bream snavelling them up!! I’m interested to know what outfits your running for your Barra fishing? Rod/Reel/Line weight as you seem to be a winner with those combos!! Thanks again for the great videos keep them coming and I’ll continue to try learning.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

The rods are Shimano Revolution PE 2- 4, reel as are a Peen Clash II 5000 and l use about a 12kg braid with a 50 or 60lb mono leader. Good luck with the fishing. Glad you enjoyed watching!👍

Love the simplicity…we get carried away with technology…at the moment I’m about to get rid of my 65lb Watersnake because I find operating it more of a nuisance than benefit…thinking about upgrading to a spot lock unit for anchoring convenience…but I’m still not convinced…lotsa $$$. Never used them in the old days…and caught fish… I noticed you don’t use an electric trolling motor…what are your thoughts on them?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

My thoughts on accessories for boating and fishing is there’s no right or wrong approach! I just do what I enjoy and works for me! Personally I choose to keep it simple as possible. It is an interesting question you have asked as there is always a new ‘must have’ for fishing! Do we really need it to catch fish?? Thanks for your comment!👍

nice barra hole there mate, what were the tides doing?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

To be perfectly honest I can’t recall what tides or moon phase I fished for this video. From my own experience I have found different tides suit different river systems. Apologies I can’t be of much help. Thanks for your question!👍

[@kizzjd9578]

Nice one mate, could you have caught them on lure in that spot? Or dont they sit there all day?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

There is a good chance they would take a lure! Occasionally the fish hold up in one area but they do tend to move depending on a range of varying environmental conditions! Thanks for your question!👍

What a great looking fish that first barra is, Dam good feed on that one, What weight line and leader are you running or like to use? Cheers Garry

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Tides, moon phase, water temperature and the time of year all have an impact on where and when to fish for barra. From my own experience there are no guarantees what works one day will produce the next. My best and not real helpful advice is to go as often as you can and most importantly work out what conditions don’t produce fish in your area. Good luck with the fishing. Thanks for your your question!👍

@@returnoutdoors2210 hey mate really appreciate the response, I’ve been told full moon and new moon are good times - low tide for creek mouths and rivers, high tide for rock walls on headlands etc. Higher the water temp the better. is this some good knowledge so far? just can’t seem to pattern them.
