Hard On at Mondy

[darylive]

Well I got back from Monduran after 5 Days hard fishin. Nothing much happening but there are some fish and it is on the improve. The weather is warming and with a bit of wind in the evening it is possible to get fish if you persist. I fished Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning with no joy and the same was reflected around the camp. One Seppo cross Aussie has been there for a month and got nothing! He caught a catty yesterday and claimed that broke his doughnut. I think that is debatable.

If you are heading there the temps are rising and the fish showing a little more interest. Hard bodies to sunset then plastics with big paddel tails after dark would be a good stratagie to start with on the wind blown banks .

I went out with NAGG Sunday night because he gets scared up the back blocks in the dark by himself .

Credit to Chris for putting us on the fish we had quite a few bumps and bites but only the one hook up WA HOO, I'M ON! set the hook, hold on, jump, NICE one, on hold, set again to be sure, jump clear out of the water! Like free bloody willy and nearly as big! A good fish!

But like free willy, Gone

She Spat the *Chartruze? Charetruse? Bloody GREEN! tailed Drop Bear . Still a memorable hook up and the only one one for the trip .

I did fish the 'round about' the next night where Steve caught the big girl on sun set, then back to 'Nagg's point' for a couple of half hearted casts after dark. Then thinking 'It is bloody dark here, and still a ways to go back the ramp'
So I gave it away in favour of the camp fire, camp oven and beverages.

Yesterday I hit the water early and persisted around South B in an area that usually 'produces' some interest. Very quite, in a dream, thinking nothing doing, on the Bomber when just at the end of a retrieve I was about to lift out the lure at the boat when an ENORMOUSE BUCKET MOUTHED MONSTER EXPLODED out of the water beside the boat HOLY CRAP! NURSE!

"Were gonna need a bigger boat!"
Be still my beating heart.

No hook up but that image is locked in with Big Willey jumping to freedom the earlier night.

No fish boated for the trip but fishin and meeting mates;
it sure beats going to work.

I don't count Catties

*Footnote:
For the other men out there Chartreuse is a colour. It is in fact luminous bloody green.
Fortunately I had a socialite 'Foxie' who new that. I wasn't convinced until a metrosexual Latte drinker of Sydney origin confirmed it. Thanks Nagg; who would have thought some poof would come up with a weird name for luminous green?

Saw this bloke with a hat, mo and colourful mouth at the Mondy boatramp on Sunday morning. He was flogging his 2 stroke to get it to start, saw our Ausfish stickers and ended up having a chat.

His post perfectly reflects his personality - what a great character! We need many more like you Daryl...

BTW I am ashamed to say I know exactly what colour 'Chartreuse' is...

[Pete62]

Hi Daryl great report I to have one of those funny green and black things in my warchest and nearly put another in last weekend but went the gold bomber instead,Nagg only starts a fire in the camp ground because he gets scared up the back of the dam all byhimself and needs to check the bogey man did not follow him back to camp

P.S i hope your taking those rissoles from somerset to mondy they were yummy
and do you think you could use a bit lager ettering instead of making me squint

In the interest of safety, everyone should hang on to their own willy, especially in the dark or up the back blocks of B. Any free willy shenanigans may be photographed and used as evidence to extort gun lures and secret spots.

Hey Daryl,
Glad you had some attention from the locals, if somewhat fleeting and pant staining!...I'm talking about the fish, not Foxie.
Cheers Roo.


This text is small and difficult to read....aren't you glad you got out your glasses now!

Speakin of Photographs! I expect the shot of Kimmy from last year should be in print for this year .

Well I'll tell ya something! I ordered some ice jigs between getting back from Somerset and headin ogg to Mondy . Specified some colours and left others to the supplier. They turned up today and the first out of the packet was?
You guessed it Chirtruce Unbelievable!

I had heard the term before but I always thought a Shirtruce was when you finally agreed with the leader of the opposition on what shirt you could wear out to dinner.

[NAGG]

Hey Daryl ...... It was great fishing with you - I felt a bit safer with a glock carrying cop with me
I see you didn't hang around too long on Monday night - its a bit black up there & specially another mile up river ( ya can hear the banjos playing)

Sorry you didn't stay connected to that barra on Sunday night - she looked a good fish too i might have to start using drop bears with CHARTREUSE tails ......... Just keep my spot hush hush

Once again your company around the fire was well appreciated - along with the port & stogie

Cheers

Chris

Ashely I am just looking at the weather, I might go to Rainbow Beach for the weekend to make sure the Surf gear is working OK before I head to Frazer Island on Thursday for five days.

I cannot retire yet but I am practicing ...
