geez bdowdy, that place looks like it could be hazardous with a little more water in it. do the edges mirror whats under the surface at the moment. nice yellas btw.

[bdowdy]

hi all went for aquick fish this morning with rossco and his young fella for acod well we got at least 6 fish and missed a few the boys were keen to get a cod on surface and i finally made there wish come true,rossco and jeremys mate got the first one and will probably post a report when they get back. good to see someone catching a fish and enjoying it. myself included. cheers bdowdy..brett

[Bear001]

Well I hope you lot actually CAUGHT some fish.....cause geez you did a lot of talkin about it...ha

Bit sick of the easterly's over here too. Went out to Split Rock earlier in the week and by the time I came home, the whole dam was white cappers...fun...not.
Still managed to get a few yellows even in the wind. Went out yesterday in the rain and all I managed to get was a wet ####....and then spent an hour towing people out with a ski boat who didnt have a 4x4 to get out!!!!

But on a positive, got to give the new hornet trophy a run in the rough and loved it......really impressed.

Cindy

[bdowdy]
