What do I bring?
Comfortable, practical clothing and footwear. Consider that water glare burns easily so wearing cool, light long sleeve shirts is a good idea. Essential is a quality sun hat along with a good pair of polarised sunglasses. Our guide recommends Mako fishing sunglasses.
Digital camera. The boat has a resident camera if you don't own one, and pictures can be emailed.
Can I keep a barra to eat?
Unlike their saltwater cousins, impoundment barra are poor tablefair. An emphasis on catch and release does not mean that you cannot keep a barra to try for yourself; however cleaning and filleting equipment is not carried onboard.
