Great work Chewy.

I fished Ungowa years back, great looking water, was told some very, very big cod live there.

How deep is it in front of the jetty and surrounds? I've forgotten.

Cheers, Jeff.

[chewy01]

nice one bk,
mate they can be well diabolical for want of a better word.There is a fair few round the heads atm(grunter)Might go for a run up river from the heads this weekend as im baching it.Not only mossies at ungowa, there are some bugs that end up all over the boat if you turn a light on.still nice though. iv never camped at the campground. guessing theyd be in there as well.

Hey Chewy..

Were you over there sat or sundy????.... i was over friday night/sat morn, couldn't raise a trumpy....fished ross's reef, south of the jetty and the waterfall for 4 legal coralies and a cod...i suspect some trumpys were having a bit of fun on the straight section just north of the ship early in the morning....bait crashing everywhere....but i couldn't be bothered pulling the pick to investigate..
Had a crazy little half hour session on ross's around 2.30am but other than that all was fairly quiet...
How'd ya go with the knot eels???....i donated a set of stainless long nose pliers to them....hahaha..in hindsight probly wasn't the smartest thing to try and do....

hey champ,
i was over there sunday morning.bugger all fish in the move..look down the waterfall end..past the other creekright in close. there were some squire there the other day. the usual spots arent producing at the moment.im going to give between the jetty and rosses a go next trip on the high in close.

[chewy01]

Ps. even the knot eels were quiet where i usually get em.

[elprez]

God I love Ungowa, have caught some good grunter there on live hardy heads, thanks for the report.

[J2DAG83]

.....Yeah well they probably all choked on my f#cking hooks...haha.. Between ross's and the waterfall i let go around 6 squire just under 35cm.

[chewy01]

i didnt see the croc either.. but im going for a proper look this weekend if the weather is kind.

[J2DAG83]

Croc my ass.....did you see the pics in saturdays paper....i'm not sure how a croc slides down the bank on it's guts and leaves those little ribbed bits in it's tracks as it go's......would be good to see though, imagine sitting at bun bun or the arti and a 5m croc cruised past..... Mate chased king around the pocket all weekend (sat and sundy) and all he caught was 1 flatty.....maybe it was just one of those weekends...
