Here are a few shots for everyones interest in the water levels at Shady Camp.
The water is dropping pretty fast and looks great, the only trouble today was the apparent lack of barra around the place. Out of four other guide boats and about five recos I spoke to I heard/saw around two barra caught for the day. This includes the main barrage, mini barrages, coastal creeks and the mouth of sampan and tommy cut creeks.
I'm sure however it was just a tide and time thing as reports from the building neaps were excellent for big fish out the front.
It seems like it is still a little early for good numbers of barra at the barrages, however there are GAZILIONS of Tarpon at the mini barrages, none of them hungry for any dark side lures at all.
I eventually cracked them when I drop shot rigged a small white clouser on a spin rod which did the damage (as they do).
Great conditions coming up with winds from the SE and water dropping, my tip is to be out there as often as you can from now on as it will really fire sometime over the next few weeks. There will be great opportunity for wanders to get some good big barra fishing too at the coastal creeks and the big creek mouths, good water clarity and plenty of small mullet around.
Another thing to keep in mind particularly for the kids and ladies is that with the abundance of BIG Tarpon around this year there are WORLD RECORDS to be set and broken.
I'm currently in the process of submitting three dark side line class records after fishing for an hour with two mates a few weeks ago.
If anyone would like more details on record chasing hit me up through the Barefoot Fishing Safaris Facebook page or website.
STRIKE HARD STRIKE OFTEN.
