Today at noon Seqwater showed 63.5% for NPD and 96.2% for Kurwongbah at 14:36.

BOM forecasts falls  around 80/100 mm for Thursday so tomorrow might see lake K overflow!!

As far as I'm aware, Enoggera Reservoir has never been stocked.

The only catchable fish in there may be spangled perch, eels and possibly introduced ferals.

I beat the heat yesterday by spending time in the pool unfortunately no fish in it!!

Not as hot today just a tad windy. 

New bottle of port waiting to be opened after BBQ tea will put a mellow glow to the end of Australia Day 

Getting the house ready for an internal repaint  SOOOOOOOO much fun 

Dam was at 57.9% at 6 am today.

Should be at 58% by now.

I just hope that all those that blamed the PM for the fires, remember to thank him for the rain, fair is fair.

NO NO, the leftie creed only attributes blame.

Had a drive past NPD this morning, water didn't even look coloured but very tempting for a fish.

According to SeqWater, level has gone up by 0.6% to 57.7% overnight.

On the other hand, all the vegetation is nice & green and no smoke haze!!

Nice garden rain, but not enough for dam inflows.

A few 100 mm days would be great!!

AAH, us fishing husbands, we're simply not appreciated 

That's what I do to cool down, soak my hat and put it back on.

Need to install a couple of irrigation misters to cool you down!!

With this kind of heat, what we need is a 4 am opening time.

With hot sticky weather forecasted for the next few days the bass bite may turn on!!

That's the problem I have will plastics, it's just so sssslllloooowwww.

As bad as sitting through a 3 day cricket test!!

Check for the new closed waters for Mary River Cod.

I'm lucky, my seat insert is a full size tube going in almost a foot so quite stable.

Hopefully on the water Friday.

I just move my seat to the insert on the front casting platform.

Tried on of those stand up ones and just not confortable enough.

Time to install a casting seat at the front of the tinny 

I'd better not let my wife see those photos, she'd want to put more plants under the patio!!

63.1% as of 6:00 am this morning.

You don't. Those defined areas are closed to all fishing during the specified periods.

That way you can't use the excuse "but I'm chasing bass, sooty grunter, golden perch etc...."

You'll be looking for an electric reel next  

4.3 tinny would handle those conditions fine.

Since you can't have petrol outboards on NPD, for windy days you need to make certain your have an electric outboard with enought grunt and battery power to get around and back to the ramp.

Can't comment on eating quality as I'm a catch & release angler.

Having said that, people regularly take bass, golden perch and redclaws home to eat. It's about preparation and cooking method.

Yes and also use the small cranka crabs for bass.
