Some more fishing pics (Jardini, Tarpon, Barr)
- Thread starter Timpon
- Start date
Tarpon (indo-pacific). The ones in freshwater were much smaller than the ones we caught in salt in the past. Fresh, they averaged 1 to 1.5 ft. Ones in the salt averaged between 2.4 up to almost 4 ft. Anyone know the life cycle of tarpon? I'm guessing like barra, they breed in salt, make their way into fresh as juveniles, then enter saltwater again to breed?
Imagine a school of 20 of these in a tank!
This guy had a piece missing, encounter with something toothy when younger.

Timpon those pics are amazing.. seeing those barramundi pics makes me want to go to chinatown and pick up a live one ! 
I would have thought the Freshwaters were juveniles and then they end up in estuaries/Brackish or in the sea eventually. nice catches again
It was!
Although the fishing was way down on previous years due to bad weather and cold water (only 19 deg Celsius in patches).
Our best trip, we caught over 400 barra between 4 anglers in seven days (biggest was over 3.5 ft). Total number of species on that trip was 45. Only 19 on this trip.
Cool catches...really like the Glossamia aprion
They were cool, there colour almost seemed to glow flouro yellow. They travelled in packs of 3-5, and hit our flies repeatedly till hookup.
