Paluma and Ross dams are overflowing!!
It would be better if the Ross dam was finiished.

Ihave a client in T'Ville who has something to do with water management there. The spillway to one dam measures 30 mtrs across. The water depth on the top lip of the spillway is 1.5mtrs. That's a lot of water!!
The water line to his own private house is only 1 mtr away before the garage starts going under.
I don't think you will need to go far to catch a barra, they will be swimming around in your own back yard if the low develops into a cyclone.

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)
Everyone OK?
just going to check the rain gauge its one of the larger round ones its about to over flow!!!!!!!
So far so good.
Been watching the salvinia and hyacinth cascading over Aplins weir - if the authorities want to get these noxious weeds under control, then now is the time. Wait for the floods to subside then get in starting right up the top of the Dam and clean it out with the weed muncher. Or push it up the banks a bit now so that it gets left high and dry when the water drops.
Hope everyone's okay. Sounds like Ingham is under water and cut-off but at least its not a cat5 cyclone. Peter Faust has risen ~5m since the rain started a couple of weeks ago.
Good hunting to you all.

I was up at Tinnaroo on the weekend and she was down quite a bit but I'd say that is changing as I type.
got 200mm over night and another 100mm till now so far this week that's
450mm
I was going to go fishing this weekend but all the roads are floaded so I can not get out of town, but I love it. I haven't been able to go to work for two days yipee
Bloody hell Krazyfisher, Mackay's out in front in the lead with Mission Beach (major_defect) coming in a close second.
Ya kiddin' Barraless, Moranbah - I knew it was raining inland but not that much. Here's hoping that places like Cania Dam get a bit of a recharge as well.
We've had a reasonably quiet day in Townsville that is, until tonight - its been bucketing since 5-ish.
Stay safe.

Mackay 430mm + Teemburra dam 416mm + Peter Faust and Eungella Dam risen metres + Kinchant Dam near 100%= Awesome Barra Season ahead. YOU LITTLE BEEEWDY!!!!!
put me down for another 95mm from this morning total 545mm since mon
Yeah we got over 300mm and I had the pleasure of watching the barra pros watching the river run as this is the first time in over a decade that they have missed netting the first hour of the season because the rivers are running way to hard. I telkl you what though pumped out to where the fresh met the salt and jeez there was soime big shadows moving around cant wait for it all to slow down a bit
Checked my rain guage here in Rocky yesterday after having been away since Monday morning. 42ml. It seems we must have missed most of it.
Cheers

Guys,
It's still raining in Townsville - 20's to 30's (mm). Thought I'd take on the weather today and chance my arm trolling the breakwaters. Like I thought there was pleanty of bait hanging up in the more protected areas but no luck on the trolling.
The rain is now coming in with the S'Easterlies - squalls interspersed with quieter periods. Got absolutely hammered by a squall around 2:30 and decided to call it quits. Discretion being the better of valour, I dropped my passenger off on the quiet side with orders to keep a watchful eye onme from the rocks. Donned a lifejacket and braved the lumpy stuff on the other side.
Bloody hell.
As I came around the bend with all the rainwater in the boat, I hit the first of a set of close-spaced swells and practically stood her up. Luckily no water in over the back. I decided to take her a bit slower after that.
BOM's forecasting rain until mid-week - when is enough, enough?
And please can I not hear too many complaining about the wasted water that's running out to sea.
Mozza
