Monduran Anglers and Stocking Association held their inaugural Humminbird Lake Monduran Barra Classic on the 26^th, 27^th & 28^th March 2021. Anglers travelled from all over the state and inter-state to compete for the $9200 in cash and prizes. The event was held in perfect weather conditions where the anglers competed in teams of two and had to catch a ‘bag’ of five Barra to be eligible for the first prize of $3000 cash. If a team caught more than five Barra, they could only count their longest five to contribute to their ‘bag’. Monduran Barra Classic
