Lucky Number 7 – Joshua Strickland’s first ever Barramundi is the 7th Metrey at Dhipirri in 2023!
Joshua Strickland from Brisbane delivers the 7th Dhipirri Metrey caught by our guests in 2023!
Welcome to the Metre Club Joshua!
Oh and congratulations on catching your first ever Barramundi… which was a METREY!
CRAZY.
Joshua said of the experience:
“I was so relieved when I first got on a Barra because I hadn’t caught anything for about 5 hours... but I realised pretty quick is was a big fish.
It just kept running out taking line. I tried to stay with it and keep tension on the line but the boys in the boat were giving me plenty so it kept me motivated.
I got lucky when it sailed into Shane’s net when I brought it in.
For my first Barra ever I quickly realised how fortunate I was it was a Metrey but it sure makes for a good story now.”
Fishing with Dhipirri Guide Shane Ivory, Joshua’s 100cm Dhipirri Barra was caught in the Milingimbi Islands, and Shane said:
“We were testing new lures with Wilson Fishing and Josh not only managed to hook up to his first ever Barra but it happened to be a Metrey!“
Here are some more photos and we will add a video of the Metrey tmw.
New set of lures coming from Wilson… being tested at Dhipirri and this one nailed a Metrey!
