Hopefully it's not as dirty as the Lismore River is apparently at the moment. Lindsay from the Fishing/Gun shop reckons its not worth trying for bass as the river is nasty from the rain...

Bugger - I just bought some little fizzers! :(

when the water turns brown always chance of a flatty of the beach near the mouth as all the mullet tend to head out as well as the big smelly ones.

Went crabbing last night and for a general :-/ sticky beak at the condition of the river. NOT :o so good, was around the ferry at low tide and it is vile. Heard a whisper that some pro dudes are looking at closing it down. Sadly, Id have :'( to agree. Any where below ferry only near top of tide could encourage :-/ me to go fishing, I suggest go for walk along the beaches or the ends of the wall.
Take care in the boat, still alot of prop bending >:( logs on the drift, soueasterly is pushing it along the north side of the river. I wont bother for at least a week , I hope??????????????????? brn-e-bass

Any up to date reports on the river down there? I'm finishing at Lismore today, so was thinking of heading down there for a night fish & sunrise fish...

Any good landbased spots anyone knows of in the area? Between Ballina & Tweed
