The Cardwell Sportfishing Club’s Cairns Hardware Cardwell Barra Bonanza has wrapped up another spectacular weekend on the water, with over 300 barra caught amongst the 250 keen anglers.
Congratulations go to Marco, who landed the winning barra measuring an impressive 108 cm. He and his teammate Sam, competing under the team name 007, were thrilled to collect their prizes. Their success proves you don’t need a flashy boat to land a prize-winning barra.
The competition drew a strong field, with many anglers travelling to Cardwell, testing their luck and skill for top honours against the locals. Meanwhile, the Cardwell Coast Guard kept competitors fuelled, selling breakfast at the boat ramp at One Mile on both Friday and Saturday.
Another Barra Bonanza is in the books, celebrating great catches, community spirit, and the thrill of the hunt on the beautiful Cardwell coast.
