Re: The Tinarooooo Enigma

Nagg -did you try anythe of the headlands out the mouth of the barron.Some great points and shallow areas to cast to early in the morning.Good to see the barron flowing full. When the water drops below those rapids a bit more,its good sooty fishing above them walking the banks casting.

Nagg,
From your high at Awoonga with Trev and a challenging trip north in May to cool country you have nearly seen both ends of the stick. The average is somewhere in the middle. It won't be your last doghnut in impoundments that's for sure. Thanks to Matt for sharing his wisdom.
Cheers,
Johnny

Ahhh Awoonga! ...... I remember it well
No real disappointment though ...... Its all good ( fish or no fish)

No more doughnuts for me though ....... I've already ordered the dynamite

Re: The Tinarooooo Enigma

Good report and great pix Chris.
Shame you didnt get a biggun but hell, thats fushun....
Great to see some local guru's helping out with marks and giving you the best opportunities.
If the lake was that easy then every bugger would be here every week!

One of my hidden camera's did see someone falling over tho....nigh on 1 am...who on earth was that!

Great report, Still sounds like you had a ball. Awesome to see fellow ausfisher's getting together for a fish too what more could you ask of a forum.

Bad news about the rod mate that sucks.

Good to see you are back and still happy.
Bad luck on the fish side of things, just think the next time you are there how much experience and knowledge you have gained from this trip and how you can apply it to future trips. We all doughnut, mate we all doughnut.

Yeh Tim some great Ausfishers around ...... specially those that have taken pitty on me & taken me fishing
Its really good to spend time with experienced fishoes ...... specially in their own environment

The Loomis Packed pretty well ( I just need to put a this way up sticker on my travel tube ) ...... I'm lucky that the break was so small ....... just below the tip binding! ....... So I dont really need to replace the rod (7'1" is now 7 foot even)

Cheers

Not wrong Whitto ...... Last night I was dreaming about Barra ( God I need help )
Matt's great company ..... & it didn't take long to relax & enjoy the fish!
I actually feel for the Guy ..... because he tried really hard to put me onto fish during a tough bite ......... & I BLEW IT! ( that scenario has run through my head over & over)

Cheers

Re: The Tinarooooo Enigma

Sounds like you had a good time up there Chris. Good on ya for getting some hookups. By all accounts fishing is tough in Tinaroo when its cold. Lucky you had a good guide.!!!

Good on ya Matt for showing Chris around. There are still good people in the world. Where did you get that Tooheys crap in FNQ I thought us QLD's were more refined drinkers!!! We certainly cant pck a footy team.....HOW THE HELL DID THEY NOT PICK SCOTT PRINCE!!!!
Steve.

PS, Not hijacking but, I am preparing a little report about our adventure at Monduran yesterday...Lets just say..it took 2 of us to lift the fish!! He he he!!

Steve ..... It was good fun in an awesome environment ..... tough , Yeh Its a shame that took 3 days to find the fish sitting in the shallows ( we would have hit those fish prior to sunrise) ....... I'm sure Matt will land one of those mummas soon.
Matts good value .....
Tooheys Dry ..... No problem in Cairns ( all the tourists want a beer & not XXXX)
Scott Prince ..... I wish he was still playing along side Benji

Ahhh so you got a bigun hey ..... Looking forward to it ( dont worry about hijacking! ...... we want to see fish )

Cheers
