Awoonga update 15-7-08

[the_matrix]

Hi guys quick update on charters and some personal fishing time this week.
Two charters, one early week and one yesterday proved to be exciting and rewarding for travelling angler from NSW, both with limited angling skill but a keen learning attitude saw them land fish they had only read about.

Yesterday a 108cm and a 96cm fish were boated and 4 other solid hook ups in 4 hours, normally my charters go for 6 hours however the boys were keen to get back to camp to celebrate with a few coldies.
Early week saw 4 fish boated out of 7 hookups for two anglers, smallest being 87cm and the largest 113cm. Will post the pics up on my website in the bragmat section.

The fishing is not red hot at present, and certainly not seeing big numbers but the quality is there. Current weather patterns are keeping the fishing steady but not ground breaking, but the Barra are there to be caught and I am hearing stories of greater success during the dark hours.

Personal fishing time and sounder work for upcoming charters saw 10 fish in two sessions mid week, light breezes and comfotable weather means the water is great place to be this time of year.
Each day has proven to be typical of Barra fishing. The lure that worked yesterday, didnt work the next, so keep an open mind (and tacklebox) if your fishing the lake at present.
Cheers and good luck if your heading up this way.

G'Day Jas,
Yeah mate it's truly a very small world, it's amazing who you run into on some of the trips you make. As you probably know i fish Faust a hell of a lot and the people i have run into there is mind blowing, not only that but the new friends you make and you see them again and again, always time for a beer and a yarn, makes life great.
I guess after all the comp fishing i did when i was living in Sydney it's inevitable that i would run into some of these chaps again on the barra trail, great to catch up with these people.

Going to Faust again for 3 weeks in Oct but with the fuel prices going the way they are you will see a lot more of me at both Awoonga and Monduran, you know i have only fished both those locations once before, bloody crazy! Just love that Faust!

I will be up to Awoonga in August, not sure of the dates yet but i'll let you know.

Cheers,
John.
