Barramundi

Mate it's a bit cold for barra, they do like the weather a bit warmer. It can be done, look for rock bars that may increase the water temp or another method is to troll deep. Overall not a good time but Hey get away from it all and enjoy the outing anyway.

Flew a plane (the ultimate 4WD - leaps tall sand dunes in a single bound ;) up there must be '98 I think. Had a ball - and the best barra I have ever tasted... Go with (my) envy!!! ;)

It's a great spot for BIG barra mud crabs.
We spent 8 weeks up there a couple of years ago, and 3 weeks thee year before that.
A very, unique spot.
I was going up the with some mates again, earlier this year, but couldn't due to an accident, will have to be next year .....

I was up at King Ash Bay in May this year and the fishing was very slow. In the 2 weeks that we were there we only managed 13 legal Barra. We fished on average 6 hours a day. If you ring the locals you seem to get the same answer of "Yeah the fish are going". We were also told that the houseboat that we had booked 18 months ago was ready to be used ,but on getting there it was still 5 days from being useable. (10 very dissappointed blokes).
King Ash Bay will never see me again.
Next time I think I will fish the Roper River or go to Wollianna on the Daly River.

Thanks fellas and in particular Neil. Info useful. Will put trip off until end August I think. Soryy to here Houseboats not ready.

Regards To All Garry
