Welcome to the Tableland Hardware Tinaroo Barra Bash

Tinaroo is well known amongst fisherman for its Monster Barra, it currently holds 19 World Records (as of July 2021) making it the perfect setting for this popular weekend event.

The “Barra Bash” as it is commonly called amongst locals began in 1987 with a Fishing Exposition organised by the Walkamin Fisheries Centre with celebrity anglers. In October 1987 the Atherton State School held the first 4AM Barra Bash. The main aim of TFSS was to monitor fish size and survival and improve Lake Tinaroo for all. These findings were then reported back to the government who provide some of our fish stocking funding through the Stocked Impoundment Permit scheme (SIPS) .

Tinaroo Barra Bash is a Catch and Release Tournament!

Investment

Funds raised at this event are used to purchase and raise Barramundi for restocking and to maintain the Barrier Net, which is used in times of high rainfall as it provides a barrier to reduce the mass loss of fish over the dam’s wall.
