JM Gilles BARRA Tour- Southern Tour Session Change

With the barra fishing at it best on Awoonga and Monduran during day light hours the decision has been made to modify the session times for the Squidgies Awoonga Evening Event (Nov 30- Dec 1) and the Warlock Monduran Evening Event (Dec 3-4th).

The session times will be brought forward from the scheduled (3pm-10pm) to morning and early afternoon hours (6am-1pm).

The decision to change the session times haven't been made lightly and has been done after lengthy discussions with anglers and organizers. With the fishing being tough on both water waterways over the last two years we believe changing the event session times to the dominant bite time at present will maximize anglers likelihood of catching fishing and in turn make for a better event.
