The barramundi fishing blog is going to become, alot more interactive in the coming weeks.

To kick things off I will be loading up some reviews, of essential and innovative barramundi fishing equipment.

Keep a close eye out because, as well as video I will be adding audio to the site.

The aim is to interview as many expert barra fishing experts as possible.

To see what great tips we can come up with.

Anyway check out the first youtube video below.

It’s a review of hookeze, Ross Bain’s invention.

That allows you to tie the perfect half blood knot every time, without ever getting a hook stuck in your
finger again.

Cheers Barra Beanie

In my quest to bring you the best barramundi fishing information available.

I thought we would push the envelope, and take a look at fly fishing for barramundi.

I went down to catch up with the boys at Tie ‘N’ Fly Outfitters, at Buddina Beach on the Sunshine Coast.

Capt Gavin Platz was very helpful and spent quite a bit if time, explaining the basics of fly fishing to me as I am just a novice.

Gavin recommended two particular salt water flies for barramundi fishing.

The 3D Profile fly

The pink thing fly

IF you click on those links above it will take you directly to the info page, for them on the Tie N Fly site.

Which has step by step instruction on how to tie these flies, even a PDF of the instructions that you can download.

There is a load of great info on Gavin’s site, even an online shop where you can puchase, fly tying kits. As well as everything else you need for fly fishing.

Capt Gavin Platz also runs a beginner fly fishing course, with the upcoming dates being the 3rd of October and the 26th of November.

So make sure you check it out and if you talk to the boys, be sure to tell them Beanie from the barramundi fishing blog sent you.

As it is nearly Father’s day, I thought it would be appropriate to pass on some relevant information.

 

As to what exactly a barramundi fishing maniac Father might want!!

 

The first thing that came in to my head was a Darwin barramundi fishing trip.

 

Yeah right I hear you say it’s too late to organize that , well there is always Father’s day again next year.

 

Christmas isn’t too far away either.

 

Hint hint kids are you getting this.

Anyway whether you Dad can go on a Darwin barramundi fishing trip, now or in the future is irrelevant.

 

The main thing is he can at least dream about it.

 

So below are some great sites where he can get the inspiration, for those dreams of his Darwin Barramundi fishing holiday!!!

 

 

  • Barramundi Fishing Trips – … we operate a fleet of well-equipped top of the range vessels. All our vessels are fully furnished to make your Darwin fishing trip comfortable and enjoyable. Have a great Darwin barramundi fishing adventure in our vessels. comments.

Is it really possible to go barramundi fishing on the Sunshine Coast???

 

The answer is yes. At the Suncoast Barra fishing park.

 

The Suncoast barra fishing park offers both catch and release, and you are also able to take your prized barramundi home for dinner if you wish.

 

There are three lakes to chose from Barra Creek, The big boys pond and the mixed species pond.

 

And the added advantage is you don’t have to stress about the kids, getting eaten by a swamp dog whilst you are barramunfi fishing!!!

 

So make sure your next holiday is to my backyard the Sunshine Coast, where you can catch some great waves and a Barramundi!!!
