Lowrance HDS dominates Barra Tour

Using the revolutionary Lowrance HDS (High-Definition System) to maximum advantage, Lowrance Pro Team members filled three of the top 10 places in the 2009 ABT Barra Tour, which concluded late last year.

Cy Taylor cemented his position as Australia’s No. 1 ranked barra angler by taking out the Individual Angler of the Year (AOY) title for the third consecutive year, followed closely by fellow Lowrance Pro Teamer Jason Wilhelm. Cy and Jason also won Northern Barra AOY and Southern Barra AOY respectively. Making it a family affair, Cy and his brother Kerrin also took out Team AOY!

All three anglers agreed the advanced technology of Lowrance HDS gave them the winning edge in the tour.

2009 Daiwa BARRA Tour Records

Here are the amended BARRA Records after the 2009 Tour as they will appear in the 2010 TAG

Halco Lake Monduran Final results

Cy Taylor made a clean sweep of the 2009 Daiwa BARRA Tour with his 3rd win from 5 events taking out the Halco Monduran Afternoon tournament with 4/10, 440cm limit.

The No.1 ranked BARRA angler redeemed himself after a poor Awoonga 2 Day event with a massive 110cm fish average. Fishing shallow edges and bays around the B arm of the lake, the Taylor duo used the electric motor when it was calm and maintained position with the anchor when the wind increased.

Overall Individual and Team AOY

Cy Taylor proves he is Australia's No.1 ranked BARRA angler with an impressive 397/400 AOY Title for the 3rd year in a row. The Millerods/Shimano Team also take out the Team AOY.

Southern AOY Individual and Team

Jason Wilhelm takes out the Southern AOY trophy and leads his team to a decisive Team Sth AOY victory.

Berkley Lake Awoonga 2 Day Evening Event

Jason Wilhelm, operator of Barra Madness charters, has taken out the Berkley Lake Awoonga 2-day evening event. Catching his limit each day Wilhelm’s 10/10, 1010cm total not only secured the tournament victory but also set a new 10 fish record for ABT BARRA events. This event also set a new record for the most barra caught in a tournament at Lake Awoonga (229 fish) and overall length in an ABT tournament (21993 cm).

Daiwa Lake Awoonga BARRA Night Championship - Results and Story

The 2009 Daiwa Lake Awoonga Night Championships produced a session of red hot fishing, in turn rewriting the ABT barramundi record books.

Under a full moon anglers were treated to some of the best tournament fishing conditions on record.

With no less than eleven anglers catching more than 5 meters of fish it was going to take something special to eclipse the field of 32 teams assembled to do battle on Lake Awoonga.
