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

in hard bodies smaller lures like the small B52 and the Cult Obsession are working well.

WTF I have stocked up on big lures, arrrrr and the frustration begins, last minute run to the tackle store is on the cards.

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

Cheers

Thanks Feral, I'll sort out costs from that. Just one thing, what's a clawhammer?

Its a reformed Geologist mate, but dont worry, this ones trained in the social necessities - knows how to open a beer and pass it over.

Also I promise to make him park his Rav4 in front of next doors house!

[Brian D]

hahahha this will be fun, maybe you can test the rav out with a few launches of Rays boat.

[Feral]

Dunno about that Brian, if the Camry wouldn't pull my boat that first year we went after rain, the Rav4 wouldn't have a hope of pulling Rays on a dry day!

Definitely Bringing the yak, so pack yours Brian, I'll have my trailer which is good for 4 yaks fairly easily, so we can just push the lot in and out of the shed, no worries about stuffing around securing yaks and gear.

[Brian D]

yeah I'm packing the yak

Will remind me of the early days down the pin but instaed of a string of dingys I will be towing a string of yaks.

Do hobies have tow points ? I heard of a rav 4 being used as a wedding car and someone tied an old boot to it and pulled the rse end out of it. :laugh:

No he wont he can park it next to mine, and hopefully they'll multiply :woohoo: :laugh:

[Feral]

oh no! I'll park in front of next door and pretend to be staying there!

[Brian D]

Last day at work today for me, can't wait to get the last few things off my desk and onto someone elses. I'll also sort the $$ out for the house because when I leave work the brain will only be thinking fishing beer and food. Someone please remind me not to run out of petrol.

As to delivery time of me to Gin Gin, I might just have to go up a day early to test the boat and suss out the tackle store. Not sure where I'll stay but don't really care either.

I promise I wont go fishing and find all the hot spots before you guys get there. If I happen to be out testing the boat and somehow a lure falls over the side of the boat then accidently hooks a barra I'll be sure to tell you all about it. I might even stay in the boat for the night and test out my night vision.

[Feral]

Good on ya Brian, it wouldn't be a barra trip without you there a day or two early rough'n it thrashin the water with lures!

Dont forget the big rest area between Gin Gin and the Dam turn off, you should be able to get a shower if you need one. Camp there two if you want, but I'd rather be on the water myself!

I've got two more days of getting flogged yet,cant wait to get outta the place. But I've got a fishin comp and a christmas party to go to before I can get there. Will have car running in the driveway monday morning waiting for the missus to get home from Night shift, then I'm outta here!

Oh yeah - BUY PETROL!

[Brian D]

Mate I've told you before, lock the kids in teh basement or tie them to a tree. If they burn the house down that's wifies fault for working while you were fishing.

I woudl expect a site moderator to have his priorities right

[Feral]

Not a moderator any more mate!

Little sods, when I taught how to tie fishing knots they learnt how to untie them to!

[Travis]

Have fun up there boys sorry i cant make it up this year but thanks for the generosity of a place in the house etc.... definately gunna have a crack at getting up there next year sometime tho :woohoo:

Cheers

[yellahunter]

very envious of you all,

would love to be heading up to Mondy,

cant wait for the report,

good luck fellas,

Ben

[rayke1938]

Foxies latest report.

18/11/19

Monduran still is producing the goods with metre plus barra being caught every day.

The bottom end of the Lake are still the most productive areas, fishing in A and Bird Bay around the shallows

Most anglers are fishing early morning and late afternoon into the night as the day time temps have been in the mid to high 30’s and a mid day camp is the go.

Soft plastics and shallow diving hard bodies have been the go for the casters.

Some good fish have also been caught on the troll in the main basin and around white rock by towing three to 5 metre diving lures.

Cheers Foxie

Cheers

Ray

[Feral]

SO do you reckon Brian has launched yet? Or perhaps he stopped at the pub for countery!

[Brian D]

I'm packed and be heading off when I wake up. See you guys there.

That last report indicates that this trip will be different from last year and the year before and the year before that....that's barra fishing

[Feral]

ha ha! you know where to send the pics then! (to Ray not me ) Let us know if there is a DVD player, I'll bring the Monduran 2008 DVD if there is!

[Tom B]

Good luck guys, hopefully they bite for ya again,

i'll be going the mad dash with some mates, lookout for a blue bluefin brat on the 28th weekend

[bootyinblue]

Well I finsihed work this afternoon, but decided to top up the bank account with 11 hours of overtime sitting on the motorway at roadworks (where I am typing this from).

Last words from the guy who won the 2008 Police Games for fishing was 'When the wind gets up, get to the bank it is blowing on to'. Apparently something to do with the movement of the warm water and hopefully the fish too!

[ellicat]

That's part of the truth Booty. The other part is it's easier to cast lures with the wind at your back lol

[bootyinblue]

Well with 2 halves of the truth I reckon we will be all over this fresh water caper!

Not many sleeps to go now....

[ellicat]

Sleep ?...I stopped sleeping yesterday !!! :woohoo:

[Feral]

For you blokes staying in Brisbane:-

Your weather!

Our Weather! :woohoo:

[Bommie]

[rayke1938]

Fot the wust connoisseurs coming up drop into the butchers shop in Tairo for the best smoked products outside Germany.

Cheers

Ray

[rumrunner]

good luck and best wishes to all on this road and water trip!(drive safe!!!)

i hope you all have a great time with no setbacks and catch plenty of fish!

cheers Ian.

[rayke1938]

Well Brians mobile must be broken as i havent got any barra photos yet. :blush:

I am all packed and ready to head off around 6ish in morning.

12 bottles soda squash.

3 blocks of cans.

around 5kg of frozen redclaw tails.

That is all the sustanance I am taking. Hope we get a barra or I may be reduced to eating forkies or roadkill.

Cheers

Ray

[Feral]

Give us a ring sunday night and put in an order to be picked up on the way through.I'm planning on doing all my shopping in Gin Gin Monday(maybe with a stop at Tiaro butcher on the way through!)

[Lozzel]

Just been talking to brian ,said he saw a couple of this afternoon. but no luck yet.

He only done a late session. Most are fishing the little Island at the end of the main basin, anchoring and throwing plastics.

Ray dont think you'll go hungry, the "Chef" as pleanty of tucker packed

[Feral]

Little island? That must be what was the "Bommie" last year. Was awful shallow to the right of it. Might be worth watching the skeeters this year

[Lozzel]

Yea prob was a bommie last year.

When we were there a few weeks back, I wouldn't take the tinny down one side.RHS coming from the wall very shallow. Keep to the left.

[kriso]
