As this is the first post for the new year, I have been looking everywhere to find something unique to kick off with.

Today I found it in the Tales from the Tinnie

Three lads Tim, Rob and Morgan that are mad keen about Darwin Barramundi Fishing, as well as any other fishing in the Northern Territory.

The boys describe their show as “A fishing show that dispenses precious drops of good angling oil”

They are running what they call the greatest fishing competition  ever!!!

Check out their video below and they are on facebook as well click here for their fanpage.

Get over and check them out.
And I am trying to get them here for an interview on the barramundi fishing blog, to get some of their best barramundi fishing tips out of them!!!

Cheers Barra Beanie

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.

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!!!

If you haven’t already done so, do yourself a favour and get your hands on the latest NAFA barra, bass and bream magazine (Issue 26).

The cover story shows a huge barramundi (125cm long, 33-35 kgs’s) caught by Michael Kowalski, on a Jason Wilhelm charter on Lake Monduran in Central Queensland.

The boys said that the fish was so big, that it took two of Michaels mates. To lift it up to him so that he could get a photo.

This horse sized barramundi was then quickly released, swimming off quickly none the worse for wear.

The magazine also has some great pictures and stories, from this years barra nationals. So be sure you grab a copy next time you are in the newsagents.

Many Barramundi fisherman seem to be of the opinion, that during winter it is a waste of time and effort even getting the fishing gear out of the shed.

I have to admit that I also was falsely led to believe this urban myth as well. That was until I read an article written by Jason Wilhelm of Barra Madness.

In the article Jason detailed how he caught over 100 meter plus barramundi, during the winter months in Lake Awoonga near Gladstone.

To find out exactly how Jason manages to bag so many great fish during winter click on this link.

Also if you would like to find out more about Jason and his guided barramundi fishing charters to Lake Awoonga this is his web site address.

Cheers to your next meter plus Barra
