Ya win some - Ya loose some

[NAGG]

Hi All

Just returned from an impromptu trip to lake Monduran ( meeting up with Trev for a few days of Therapy on the Illusionist).
It was a interesting trip with some nice fish landed (11 in total) - plenty of fish lost through being bricked down to simple line failure.
Fish were caught or encountered all over the dam with our efforts concentrated on wind effected points , bays & weed beds - Barra were landed through the day 6am – 8pm – with no definitive bite time…….. Temps ranged from 24 – 29 deg c.
The dam level continues to fall – with danger lurking in once safe passages ( ie 2nd cut through , the run up south B ( right on the 2nd last reflective marker as you leave South B …. Entrance to Bird ( Take a wide path).
On a lighter note …..Trev did his best Steve Irwin impersonation trying to rescue a Sugar glider from a couple of crows ……. Only to have the glider turn on his rescuer …. I wish I had a video – but I at least got Trev to photograph his adversary.Attachment 52781
As for the fish …….. Since Trev is not really into measuring fish or( using a landing net) – I cant give you any sizes , except for this 1 fish that went 100cm.
On a personal note …… All of my fish were landed on 20lb spin gear ( Daiwa Certate 3000 , 20lb Bionic braid & Berkley Diablo 6-10kg rod - The lure of choice was a modified xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry for the brief report - but it’s shhhhhhh - we were never there

Cheers

Chris, I think i may have said this before, but, bloody hell i would like to have a job like yours Yes, i'm jealous, even though its a bit early for me to tackle a big fish just yet, but the time is coming

Once again a first class result from a couple of very good barra men, well done boys

I reckon you two blokes would now know Mondy better than the layout of your own homes

Once again blokes, a top shelf result, good on the pair of you.

Cheers,
John.

PS. Trev the wildlife man, a couple of months ago it was a white sea eagle now a sugar glider, good on ya mate.

Not bad for a sneaky trip Chris. Your wetting my appetite something fierce mate. Forget these bass for a while I'll have to get up there sooner rather than later.

Thanks John

Gee , I dont know about that (know the dam) - I fished a few places that I'd never been to before .......... or not for quite a while - Its changing so much & so quickly atm.
It was really funny watching Trev try to help this little glider into the tree & then see it jump at him a few times - trying to bite his leg off - I think the crows fired him up.

Chris

PS --- You have a pretty good incentive to recover from your operation ...... go barra fishing

Bloke, Tell em about the Barrel girl . And talk about loose some... seven in one session... by me ... it was a good trip..... Lets hope the ABT is as much fun

[Apollo]

Well done Chris. We will have to organise a return favour one day, given your ever expanding knowledge (for a Sydney bream fisherman, that is).

Cheers

Ahhh yes Barrel girl in "D" - flick flick (weed on placcy) - tap tap " DOOOOOOSHHH" - tail noise - certainly left a big hole in the water.

Yes Trev .... you had a bad run there ( 2 fish lost on line failure) + dropped fish ---- first time I've ever seen you chuck a wobbly. - that reminds me better replace that line on my reel .... after that little fella snapped it like cotton

Good fun alright - always enjoyable fishing with you ...... not to mention the learning

Hi Paul

Actually ..... I needed to get a leccy motor to Trev & twisted his little finger to meet me at Mondy for a fish - You could imagine how much pressure I needed to apply

The ABT tour should be good fun ..... just hope the fish want to play

Nice work Chris & Trev...some lovely looking fish and in good numbers.

Team Berkley certainly looks like the early favourite for the Mondy leg of the ABT.

Would appreciate it if you didn't post any more reports for the next six weeks as we are suffering badly from IBD...
