The Venom Rods BARRA Australian Open heads back to Lake Awoonga in 2023 for three nights of BARRA fishing action.
This is a 100% payback event.
With Lake Awoonga's barra fishery developing nicely, there’s plenty of fit, fat and feisty barra in the metre-class that will make the event very fishy and with live scoreboards, very exciting.
Give your family, fans and sponsors great value by being involved in the extensive event coverage.
