50,000 taste tests. 1,000 scent and flavour combinations. 20 years of continuous research and development into fish feeding stimulants. There’s a reason Gulp! has not only the ultimate bite-triggering taste but the most-dispersive scent of any soft bait. It’s science. And for you, the angler, it’s an unfair advantage to catch more fish.

Live sonar technology is changing the way barramundi fishermen, like Broome’s Eric Locke, go about their business. These powerful units are a relatively new addition to the fishing landscape and allow anglers to see in high resolution how fish react and move in real time, and even what size they are. With such detail at their disposal, live sonar has been a game changer for anglers like Eric. He’s one of several big barra specialists in the Kimberley and Eric has caught more than 150 metre-plus barra. On his dinghy he runs two Lowrance Active Target units and a side-imaging sounder when hunting for the big girls. Eric even sets up an Active Target unit when fishing from the shore on the Fitzroy River, enabling him to relax in a chair on the bank and cast at big fish as he sees them on the screen. He was one of the first to embrace the technology, getting one of the original Active Target units more than five year ago, and he is still using that along with a newer Active Target 2 model. Eric, who inherited a love of barra fishing from his old man, Rob, said it had revolutionised the way he, and a number of his mates, fished. “It has changed how we work lures and how we fish an area,” he said. “The fish aren’t always where you think they will be, and with Active Target you can find them during the day or at night. “It also means you can target big fish, once you figure out what you are looking at on the screen. “You can see how big the fish are, and how deep they are.” One of the interesting facets of behaviour he has noticed is that barra often travel in pairs, and when they do they can’t be tempted by any offering. He doesn’t think it is spawning behaviour though, as he has seen it at all times of the year. “They won’t touch a thing and they won’t split up,” he explained. Not that many barra get away from Eric, whose best session saw him land seven fish over a metre, and 13 over 90cm. He likes to use artificials, especially soft plastics and surface fizzers for topw
