ALL large barras are female- this should have been released back into the water to produce little barras.

Nice catch, though.

@heliox1965

Wonderful to hear about future releases, I am really grateful for your concern for the wellbeing of future stock.

Any large barra upto 75cm is fair game for the table .

Wish you every success.

Nice one Neil, Barra season has started here, unfortunaltey have not got a chance to go for them just yet, we have a run for about 2 months. I hope to get a few evenings towards and around the next full moon. Its just a 15 minutes drive from my place. 20 years here and I only found out a few months ago :oops:
