See what happens with my back, due for surgery in 30 days or sooner if I can I will.

Heaven right there !

Nice one Dino. Skimming them over weeds reminds me of fishing lake k years ago. Find any lures ?

Laid up with back pain. Still no good

Lovely fish Dino very jealous.

Nice one mate, any schools or just the odd show on the sounder ?

What ever happened to the Prfma rainbow breeding scheme they had going years ago ?

Nice one ray, I drool every time I get out there at all the good venison out there. A friend of mine makes the best venison jerky I have ever had ! I won’t be out the dam for some time till I get my back sorted.

Well done mate.

Nice one mate, shrimp have been scarce in my pots lately so a short session with the nephew the other day only managed 2 bass And had to head in as I have done my back, off to get some steroid injections tomorrow hopefully that gives me some relief.

Got him onto his first ever fish on a lure the day before up at bribie

Got bugger all shrimp in the pots, I fished lures and got bugger all they just weren’t interested. Get more enjoyment getting people onto fish and enjoying them selves

The beard is gone mate I look 12 now !

As promised I took the nephew out for a fish today. Having lived almost all his life in cairns he had never seen a bass before so I decided to change all that for him. Launching the boat at a leisurely 9am it was off down the dam in search of some schools that have been playing hide and go seek lately, With bugger all shrimp in the pots (they were left for a week) we had enough for me to be confident we weren’t going home empty handed. Located a decent school near the fig tree and soon had him high-fiving me after getting his first. Fishing was pretty slow the rest of the day as me moved about a little bit looking for some more active fish as they sat there with lockjaw. With 19 fish coming over the side 15 for him and 4 for me he was over moon to say the least. Looks like I’ll have to start sneaking out there without him as he reckons he’s coming every trip now ! Here’s a few pics cheers

Pm sent

I love nothing more than getting people onto there first fish and especially lures, trouble is hes 24 and 120kg still a kid to me though

Taking the Nephew out tomorrow for his first bass session, I got him his first fish on a lure on Tuesday a lovely 58cm flatty so i should have something to report tomorrow

I only posted that pic cos I know you would appreciate it

My dog when I got up this morning

I thought the yella was just happy to see me !

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together ! Have been avoiding npd the last week as I dont fish weekends and the wind hasn’t been favourable and with willy weather predicting it would drop off today I held off launching the boat till about 10ish. Wasnt too bad at my place when I left but getting to the ramp it was a solid westerly making me wish I had bought along another jumper, bumping into a few of the regulars it was as expected slow fishing up our end and I would have to go looking for them down the far reaches of our boundary , being a quick trip down with the wind behind my back I spotted a wise old fisherman the npd king. Doing the polite thing I dropped in to say a quick gday and a chin wag luckily I did as it saved me a lot time going to look for the fish else where on the dam, he was even good enough to gift me his spot as he was leaving Talk about being spoon fed !Long story short it was a glass our day just as willy weather predicted and the fishing was pretty good too! 31 fish landed 29 bass and 2 yellas some pics to look at. Get out there and do it while you can. cheers

Fishing down the island the other week and seen a fella fishing from the bank at the far marker, wasn’t that bloke either.

Hope all goes well mate, best of luck and get back on your feet and into a few fish ASAP, trust me it’s the best therapy.

No smoking !
