Thought it would be a better option to go to Monduran before the Weekend Comp, cast our arms off with no luck at all, its a pity Barra don't eat Catties
, anyhow resorted to trolling and picked a couple of meteries, the first went 1.03 and the second was 1.10
, Im sure as hell not complaining, anyhow good luck to those that are venturing up to Monduran in the future, Cheers Whitto

Hey whitto,
Great fish mate. Good to see you got onto them. Guess you will be back upto get into them again one day now!!
Trolling the basin seemed to be the way the bigger fish were caught in the comp yesterday and today. Admittedly there were about 70-80 boats trolling around the basin!!!! I was something to see!!
Great fishing again greg
cheers steve
how did you go in the comp steve and was there any big fish caught and did they say just the shallow lures where working on the troll of deeper lures as well
G'Day Steve, We took a trip into GG on Wednesday, U looked to be locked up we figured u were on Fatigue so left it at that, Said hello to John and Jacky and headed back to camp, Bloody Storms it did cool things down a bit though, Very happy with the Barra, all in the basin where the hot water is, Great trip for me my mate had nothing but bad luck all week, Cheers Whitto
Nipsta,
I did OK but not good enough to win anything. I landed 4 barra on sat arvo on the shallows up the top of the dam when we finally managed to find some warmer water and that annoying SW wind died down a bit. They ranged from 65cm to 85cm. My mate Chris nailed a 98cm with about 5 min to go in the arvo. It was his first monduran barra so he was stoked. He was getting cranky earlier because he was catching massive catties and no barra!! but his luck changed for the better. Got nothing sunday.
So we boated 5 fish out of 40 odd fish weighed in saturday which isnt bad odds I spose. Had a great time, played up till 2.30 fri night which didnt help!!
Whitto, I have been on paternity leave (yes, the QAS give blokes a whole week off to help with the new bub). We had a little boy 2 weeks ago , 5 weeks premmy. He is going strong and got home last tuesday. I worked up enough brownie points to be allowed to fish the comp!! plus I had the mother in law at home, good enough reason to get out and fish I reckon!!!
cheers steve
sounds like it was a good weekend hope the barra play the game when i get there so igather the fish where all up the back end of the dam near the river area that a far boat trip thats ok got plenty of time to enjoy it what where they hitting ya on just out of curiousity
Damn straight Steve, Congratulations on the new Bub give mother a kiss for me on a job well done, Paternity leave there's one I didn't know about, of course my youngest is 26years old, again congrats and will catch up down the track, Cheers Whitto
