Catch a Barra - Barramundi Farm (Sean, Troy & Ethan)

Ahhhh... Fishing... I do love fishing... but what I love more than fishing - is catching fish. And this goes double when you are taking two young boys fishing with you... Late Monday afternoon we decided to chance our luck (well fishing at the farm we were quietly confident) and take the 30 minute drive south of Cairns to the Barramundi Farm in Little Mulgrave... We arrived at around 4:00pm and it wasn't long before the boys and I had our lines wet and amongst the fish...



At a cost of $33 per hour (which includes all gear) catching Barra seemed to be a great value for money way to spend an afternoon - and we were spot on. We used relatively light tackle and soft plastic lures and fished 2 of the 4 ponds on the farm. Barra ranging from 35cm up to 50+cm were literally jumping from the water in incredible shows of aerobatics, and desperation as the fought for their freedom...




We fished until the sun started to fold in behind the mountains. We released all we caught - there is the option to purchase the fish that you catch but we opted to let them live so that they could fight another day. I think the tally ended up Sean 7, Troy 2 & Ethan 3



Apart from some great fishing, as the sun sets the beauty of the ponds, the mountains and the valleys help you to really feel as though you've spent a great afternoon out on the farm, catching a few fish, with family and away from the daily grind.
