Surviving 24 Days Of Ibd Therapy

[NAGG]

G'Day Whitto,

Mate it was like something out of a bloody nightmare, such anticipation, the build up, then it all turns to crap and you can't do a thing about it. In all it blew for a week before we got there, then a few days of good weather then it blew for three weeks and i believe it blew again this last week. The nights were bloody cold, you needed to put a jacket on just to be comfortable, bloody crazy mate.

I'll be back, just licking my wounds, i need to visit the head Doctor at Awoonga just to get my head back in shape.

Cheers,
John.

PS. I mighy try and put up a report tonight if i can think of anything other than the bloody wind to write about.

Hi John

I'm glad you've crawled out from under that bed in the dark room !
Yes go & see Doc Awoonga ASAP ....... & get some help

Mate 3 weeks of that crap ..... would drive you bonkers - We had it at Hinchinbrook last Oct when we caught up with you ....... but at least we could find a out of the wind creek where we could still cast & catch fish (& muddies )! but our time at Faust ...... ....... Your 3rd year of crappy weather wasn't it ?

Cheers

Chris

G'Day Chris,

Yes i have come out of the dark room that i have been sulking in for the past 5 days since i got home.

Still trying to think how i am going to make a report!!!!

Anyway mate, good luck in the tour and i hope that you will be greeted with weather more suitable for barra fishing than i had over the past three weeks, windy days and cold nights

Good Luck,

John.

I thinking enough said John...there's only so much creativity you can Muster (sorry about the pun) to put up a report with a trip like that.....just plain bad luck as I see it.....Whitto

Chris,

Yeah mate third year of crappy weather in a row. It just shows how much pull the place has on you after you have had three years of very good results with many big, big fish.
Run into a chap at the tackle shop yesterday who is just back from Hinchinbrook who had similar results wind, wind and more wind, like you he found places out of the wind, was even using stacks of live baits, still could not get a hit, he's pissed too!!

Cheers,
John.

Cheers,

Well all ...... I made it to Brisbane (intact) & not a monkey to be seen - just the walkways suspended above the highway for them to cross

Had lunch in MO_TACKLE ......mmmmm lots & lots of barra lollies ( impressive shop)

So ..... with a few days work to get out of the way - Pick Matt up & Then I'm into it

So I'll try to post when I can ....... but I'll keep notes for a comprehensive report next month...... hopefully with minimal round pastries included!

cheers all

Matt survived it ..... but found the going tough - Keep in mind that 1 or 2 fish could put you in a top 10 or 20 in some of the events ------- It was tough
