πŸ“Έ Avid angler James Mobbs recently reeled in this 125cm barramundi at Lake Maraboon and says he's caught plenty of big ones there over the years.

Here's his top fishing tips:
πŸ”Ή Use a sounder
πŸ”Ή An electric boat motor's low noise level is less likely to scare off the barra
πŸ”Ή Follow the wind direction - where the wind blows, the fish will follow

    This is bush camping at its best ⛺️ Lake Nuga This is bush camping at its best ⛺️

Lake Nuga Nuga is remote - the nearest town, Rolleston, is 86kms away - so here's what you need to know:

🧳 Bring everything you need with you and take your rubbish home
πŸš™ A 4WD is highly-recommended. It's essential if there's been recent rain
πŸ“²There are shady camping spots but make sure you book on the @qldparks website
