MONDURAN Vs AWOONGA

[Dick Pasfield]

You mob stop fishing and get out of the boat to sleep?

There's a novel thought

Here's the starlight option




and the foul weather alternative




hunkered down in a mangrove creek, copped 50mm that night

Don't let anyone tell you Dick you couldn't organise a Piss up in a brewery.....it must be interesting if the Shite hits the fan....Im guessing sleeping and fishing are kept separate.....it obviously suits your style of fishing....Good Stuff...Cheers

Is that a tent fly youve got thrown over the top Dick?

Yeah, and used the struts crossing them diagonally from stern to bow. Used it a few times, you can stay pretty dry provided you get into a creek small enough to break the wind pushing on it.

Good set up there Dick ........ but you need to remember that this lot like to go back to camp at the end of the day for a big cook up ...... & get pissed! ....... so being responsible people we get off the water

Awoonga 75 barra landed @ 13 Sessions (best 106cm , 100) .... 3 sessions were fished with Dr Awoonga
An additional 7 fish were landed during Skeeter time

For me Monduran has never fished better then when it was at 18%....Magic

Several people have said exactly that !
I only fished it once at that level (1.5 days) for a big fat catfish ..... & my PB Bass
it was at the tail end of a Hinchinbrook trip ........ Never saw much of the dam though ( White rock area & bird bay)

Rito
Have any of you answered the original question?
or do you all like to banter on & on & on & on

Me personally from my varied experience of one, three day trip to both, Monduran for camping and facilities.

As far as fishing, well I may offer an opinion after my next trip, hopefully then I may catch something

Both very nice Dams and I'm sure when the Fish are on, they're on.

It didn't help that when I was up there the other week, some bad tempered barstard, punched the sounder and then proceeded to smash it into the deck, it didn't fix the original problem either, but it did get me a new sounder.
So with out one we fished blind.

Hey Rob

On your question ....... No
Thats why the catch rate poll went up ........... Interesting results & It shows how tough barra fishing is

Chris

[Tropicaltrout]

& so what is the question Nath ????

Yeah, it is a tuff one but Mondy at 18 was a different dam IMHO

So in contrast to the original question all water issues aside ( strictly fishing wise) would you rather mondy at 18%, mondy now or Awoonga?

Nath ...... I'm not sure if it is that simple..... Dunno
Is it also in part that a year further on .... The barra are becoming bigger & more educated in Mondy
18% there would have beem 1000s of acres less for the fish to spread out........ less timber in the water too.
When you look at the new map of the dam ........ There is a hell of a lot more water (obviously )

Question : How far up the Southern arm of B could you go when it was at 18%

Chris

[Tropicaltrout]

To be honest I never went up there, far to busy a H areas...

[Whitto]

I personally have no idea Chris I never got near B...didn't need to go that far.....I worked my way up the Dam starting from SDA....Bird .....and so on up the Dam to the first bay on the left......Magic all with H/B's.....not a S/P in sight
