Well time is rolling,not long to go now :woohoo:

Glenda would like to know what's on the MENU, as she will be on holidays now that she has retired :laugh:

[Feral]

That would be Barra.

They have a little BBQ on the veranda, we tend to live off that and the oven (Potato bake and yep - baked barra)

Latest report from Foxies.

05/11/09

Lake Monduran has continued to fire over the past week with barra up to 1.3 meters being caught.

The hot spot at the moment has been Bird Bay and casting and trolling both producing good barra.

The northerly winds have definitely improved the fishing and the water temps are up around the 27 and are holding well into the nights.

Cheers Foxie

[bootyinblue]

27 degrees... I am packing a cake of soap in the tacklebox, if the fishing is slow just jump over and have a tub.

That is TUB... T U B

Picked my last couple of lures I wanted today. I'm as ready as I will ever be.

Clawhammer might stop in for a few days, I think he is trying to negotiate some time off with his boss!

[Malcolm]

Hopefully I'll be in next year I hope you blokes a great time and catch heaps of Barra.

I'm sure you will

[Brian D]

Mate if you change your mind and drop up for a couple of days Ray will let you sleep with him. If not you can share my bed. :kiss: You're welcome.

I only have one more weekend - holy fish trap batman I better get going on the new seats and rod holders. The wiring of the 2nd battery might have to wait.

[Feral]

Well Brian, its official, I'm taking less than 60 lures! Maybe only 3 rods (Have not quite convinced myself I only need 3, maybe 4!) 2 reels (well maybe 3) hmmm, stuff it I'll just empty the shed in to the boot!

[rayke1938]

The only copper I know that will be on the dam will not be concentrating on busting people, he will be focused on catching Barra and bloody big ones. Besides that - nooone on this site drinks and drives do they?

[Feral]

You should all sleep better this year, I'm bringing my "anti snore" CPAP machine with me.

Brian and Loz, I'll be expecting cash not to show it to your wives

[bootyinblue]

I just had a brain wave.... I need to get a SIP to fish for the week?

Thats right isnt it?

[ellicat]

Yep.

Also check your Hotmail.

[bootyinblue]

Yep all checked and looking the goods there.

I am more than happy to stick my hand up for kitchen duties as I have had a few 'priors' for this type of activity before.

[ellicat]

Are you bringing a puppet ?

You wont sleep better - my snoring has got worse. Something to do with being fat I think.

ATM the rent for the house is about $200 per week per head or $30 per day for casuals (depending on the numbers staying). Ray and I will both chuck in a bit extra ($350) becuase we are staying longer. Who is staying in the house and for how long?.

I got Loz and Glenda for 7 nights

BD and ray 10 nights

Feral ????

Ferg????

anyone else?

[Feral]

At this stage Feral, Ferg and Clawhammer arrive monday, depart saturday.

Looks like hot bite periods will be Friday till Monday and saturday till monday :evil:

But dont worry we will send plenty of photos.

Hers is Foxies latest report.

15/11/09

These week fishing at Monduran was a bit ordinary early in the week until about Thursday when we had a change in wind direction and some hotter weather, this change made the barra fire up a bit more.

The lower sections of the lake have still been fishing well; the small islands in the Main Basin and Bird Bay have been producing good barra so has the shallow areas in A.

Further up the lake B and the point on the southern end of C are also fishing well.

The best casting lures in the soft plastics have been the Squidgies in Evil Minnow and the new Ginger Meggs colour, in hard bodies smaller lures like the small B52 and the Cult Obsession are working well.

Trollers are also catching a few around the points, 3-5 metre lures are producing the best results.

Cheers

Ray

[Feral]

Sounding just like last year! 4m Halco in H70 and a 3m Gaden in GunsNroses will be the first two lures on!
