The 2013 Barra tour will see a raft of exciting new changes. The series this year will have a northern focus hitting the big barra dams of Peter Faust, Kinchant and Teemburra in what is sure to be a week of hot barra fishing. The series will also see a change in format from the individual style events of the past to a team format, giving the anglers the opportunity to fish with a friend and get the most out of the tour. With barra back on AFC and the big barra biting the 2013 BARRA Tour is one not to be missed.

ABT has made the decision to cancel the Daiwa BARRA Tour Grand Final scheduled to take place on Lake Awoonga, 12-13th February 2011. A host of factors have contributed to the decision and include the following:
Taking all these factors into consideration and with the less than warm acceptance of the boater/non-boater format into the BARRA events it has been decided to cancel the event. All entries and payments to date for the event will be refunding in full.
Further details on the BARRA calendar for 2011 will be released later in the year.

Read more for all the details.
There will be two seperate series next year, the BARRA Trophy Teams Series, and the ABT BARRA Pro Series.
The BARRA Trophy Teams Series is ABT affiliated, and will be co-ordinated by Matt Fraser. There will be seven events, including the five-event BARRA Tour from 28Oct – 12 Nov. These events will be teams events with all cash and prizes awarded to teams not individuals – apart from Big Barra Prizes. Angler of the year and Team of the year points will accumulate through the series. Final standings will be based on best four of seven events. There will be two categories, Pro Teams and Amatuer Teams. Pro Teams will be two anglers only, competing for the Pro Cash Pool. Amatuer Teams can comprise two to four anglers, including juniors, the entry fee will be much lower to encourage new participants. Amatuer Teams will compete for product prizes only.
The ABT BARRA Pro Series will be Boater/Non Boater, Shared Length events. There will be two qualifiers in 2011, one at Monduran and one at Peter Faust. The ABT Barra Pro series will provide the gateway to AFC selection. It will provide Barra anglers the opportunity to compete for individual accolades as Boaters. Non Boaters, for the first time, will get the opportunity to be drawn to fish with the best impoundment barra anglers in the country. With a shared length limit, Boaters and Non Boater pairings will work together towards their limit, to encourage teamwork and sharing of knowledge. Note that entries for Barra Pros will close a week prior to the events, in order to sure up numbers. Boater/Non Boater pairings will also be published on australianbarra.com.au 3-5 days prior to the events, to allow pairings the opportunity to coordinate prefishing, launching and posssibly travel plans.
ABT BARRA Grand Final – Will be a Boater/Non Boater event, 2 sessions, 5 fish shared length limits. As the Inagural BARRA Grand Final, this event will be hotly contested, as anglers will compete for Individual Glory as Grand Final Champion for the first time ever in an ABT event. Note the dates has moved forward a week to the 11-13 February, to avoid conflict with other Barra and Bass events.

Session 2– Sunday 20th Nov – 6am – 12 Noon
