Monduran Sunday 2/3/08

[The BeaR]

Hi All…

Due to the weather being 25-30kts over the weekend, the offshore salt water fishing was out of the question, so decided to head up to Monduran.

Arrived at the boat ramp around 5:30am to an almost windless morning. It didn’t last.
Decided to head up to B arm to a little spot that had produced good fish in the past when the dam was 5 odd mitres lower. The dam looks so much different now with this added water, certainly a lot of new ground to explore.

The water clarity is still quite dirty and with the temperature at only 24 deg C in the morning and the best we found all day was only 27 in a small bay that I would think has only recently flooded. The water depth was 15ft at a casting distance from the bank. In B arm the best we did was 4 catfish, which is usually a good indication of better things, but not today.

Decided to come back down the dam towards the dam wall and look for cleaner water to cast in and this is where we found the little bay with the warmer temperature. It is also the bay we managed our only fish for the day, caught casting a 120mm gold B52 and using The BeaR B6-6 Baitcasting rod. All in all it was just good to get on the water and I guess the dirty water means I will just have to keep going back to make sure it clears.

Nice work Eric & Deb.

Bet it is nice to be a local now

You're right about Mondy's transformation....a diffierent place for sure, but once it settles, you'll be at the doorstep of some first class fishing I reckon.

The dam level seems to have stabilised at 38%. Been like that for a week or two now.

Cheers

Eric, Paul turned all the fish off from your 'secret' spot when he was there last week. Blame him for the lack of takers .

Well done on persisting and getting a fish from the basin. Is that Barra 'out of proportion' or is it just the angle of the photo?? looks weird.


Cheers mate and hope you enjoying Hervey Bay.
