Monduran Update

[Awoonga]

We only seem to report our successes but not our failures. This results in every man & his dog turning up on the dam expecting to "fill the boat" This is a quote that l saw on another post so here goes The Barra and Basstastic Comp was on the Weekend at Monduran ... Barra was the target spieces...Water level 18% and slowly rising ... Water Temp from 28c to 30 c First session only one Barra boated in the comp... Afternoon session a bit better two fish recorded.. On to Sunday l think one more was caught ... the biggest fish of the Comp about a 96... The winner caught two fish....Me ? not a hit all weekend

Appreciate the honesty of your report Awoonga.

It can be a tough place to fish if the barra decide not to come out to play!

Maybe you should give Lenthalls a try Trev

I am getting the bug for barra and in need of a trip north. Monduran will be the place as Awoonga weedbeds do my head in a bit, I need timber!!

Maybe I can bring some rain up as to be honest, the stuff is really starting to get a bit old down here. Went right up top of the Clarence yesterday to find some clean water for Bass with little luck. Had about 4 inches at home while I was up there over 4 hours with no more than a handfull of days in the last month without rain of some sort. Maybe we could organize a swap

Yestrday on the Clarence River.

least you were there trev i was painting the bloody house,as for barra in lenthalls they are non existent at the moment due to the big kill last year there are a few being caught but not any size ,over 20,000 fingerlings have been released in the last few months so in the next year orso hopefully it will pick up a bit

It aint no gravy train, thats for sure

Hi trev , yes we all tried our hardest on the weekend , the only barra we hooked up on was at the cattle yards then took us for a ride through the trees after 10mins getting her out and to the side of the boat she dived once more around a lonesome stump directly under us in 8m of water then she was gone.....so the next round is at awoonga which is your backyard so lets see what happens next...happy fishing

Hi Trevor, yes it was a tough weekend must say we couldn't expect much diffrent given the weather. I did think things might pick up on Saturday arvo wind droped and water temp rose, but nothing??? Was good to finaly meet you.

Cheers Tod
