<\/p>\nAlthough I’m still hunting for my sawfish piccie, I thought I’d better post another barra pic from the Easter weekend. Emma, Emily and I camped out in a spot roughly between town and the gorge overnight, and although the girls laughed at me for choosing to stand next to my handline for six hours instead of being sociable with them at the campfire, they were still very excited with the 62cm catch – a perfect size to keep whole in the freezer ready for our next big barbeque! Emma made her debut with the landing net, and didn’t disappoint, scooping it up first time. It was worth trading in a jumbo 10cm+ cherabin for a size barra!<\/p>\n
