Barramundi Tour with a 1st and 2nd place finish at the
Sunline Peter Faust 2-day morning event. Fishing together as Team
Shimano/Millerods the Taylor
brothers found consistent bites over the two days to finish over a meter ahead
of their nearest competitors. With Cy securing victory at the previous
Teemburra event, the result at Faust handed him the Northern Barra Angler of
the Year title. With the tour now heading south to events at Awoonga and
Monduran, the task of securing the Southern and overall Barra Angler of the
Year honors, is clearly on the agenda for these talented anglers. - Cy Taylor 9/10, 651cm captured victory at Faust with 83cm
separating him from his brother Kerrin 9/10, 568cm . Fishing small bays deep in the timber
at the back of the dam, Cy identified areas adjacent to deeper water that
presented horizontal timber and structure. Tying off to trees, Cy would cast
into the shallows before retrieving the lure with small hops.
"The water temperature was quite warm (approx 29-30 degrees)
in the areas we identified. We found the fish were moving into deeper water,
around 3 meters, where it was around two degrees cooler. We found three areas
that provided fish over the two days. Consequently I was able to catch my limit
on day 1 and four on day 2."
A 110mm Squidgy Pro Slick Rig in Drop Bear colour fitted
with a size 4 stinger treble through the belly proved to be the lure of choice.
Alternating with a Rapala X-Rap in green Cy was able to secure the bites on
offer.
"On day one the bites came fairly early. As the sun got up
it became more difficult, but we both got our limits. Come day two the weather and
wind changed, making conditions more challenging. We found that when the sun
would come over the bites would often follow. We both secured four fish for the
session and fortunately in the end that was enough."
Cy's outfit consisted of a Millerods Salty Barra rod teamed
with a Shimano Core 100mg reel spooled with 20lb Fins braid and 80lb Black
Magic Tough Trace leader. Kerrin used a Millerods High Roller rod teamed with a
Shimano Curado reel spooled with 20lb Shimano Power Pro braid and 80lb Black
Magic Tough Trace leader.
"We tend to use lighter breaking strain braid, as it allows
for better feel and finesse. You may have to freespool if you get caught in the
timber, but the bites you otherwise gain make it worthwhile."
Robert Ebzery captured the events Big Barra of 117cm on day
two of the tournament. Caught around 10am on a weedy point, the barramundi fell
to a Stiffy Bony Bream lure in silver. Going deep the barramundi slugged it out
before finally succumbing, much to the pleasure of Ebzery. Aaron Moggs session
one beast of 115cm narrowly missed out to Ebzery's fine catch.
Overall 124 barramundi were caught over the two days of the
event with an average size of 63.59cm. The 2008 event at Peter Faust saw only 52
barramundi caught overall. Lindsey Dobe from the Peter Faust Dam Fish Stocking
Association gratefully accepted a stocking donation of $250 for further
continuation of the organisations great work. With water levels up and fish
found scattered throughout the dam, ABT is sure to return to this great fishery
in the not to distant future.
