Hey Chong and Sheik

You fullas catch anything in your recent trips?

John

Mate haven't been back out to Condi but am keen to get out there with a kayak or something, as at the meoment it wouldbe fantastic. Fished out on the moonie a couple of times last fwe weeks but nothing much. Stuffer tells me Bobbo fished for a few days west of Condi and got more than a hundred carp i think. Sounds like a lot but I'm sure that's what he said. One of them weighed 9 KILOS. Not pound. Few yellas too. Might be some rain out there which would be good heading into spring. Keep the oats going for a week or two if we get more than half an inch and give some start to spring growth. Might muddy up the river a little though if charlies and a few of those wieambilla etc start to flow. ALthough charlies looked alright last time I went through chilla. Nice pics chong hey. Love teh camping trips.

Condamine milky again from storm runoff. Normal enough.
Great fishing thru Autumn to spring! in the clear water. Hopefully some good runs thru a predicted wet summer. My thoughts are I hope it clears again after summer as it traditionally does even if no big flood?

Was out there two weeks ago. Plenty clear enough to lure at the moment. Nothing much happening though. threw plastics, hardbods, plus shrimp, worms. No touches. But beautiful. Wouldn't nec believe all that stuff about wet summer. Love the work the BOM does but many people don't properly understand what BOM is trying to say, and don't start me nino nina and SOI's. There are so many caveats built into the whole system it makes any long range forecast very bland.

How is the yellow belly fishin going? Im going to Chinchilla for Christmas and planning to get out for a fish. Anyone catching any?

[Sheik]

RIver's pretty low out past condi Odes. There are some cod being caught, or there were. Have heard reports of people pulling 50 yb out of the balonne and keeping them all. No wonder there aren't any feckin fish. Couple of young fellas asked a mate of mine from condi whether they could fish on his place and he said fine, then they rang before they left and said they'd caught and kept 30. needless to say, next time they'll get a pretty firm no when they ask to camp.
but it is quite low. Chinchilla with the weir should still be fine but the waterholes are well and truly separated downstream.
I would think the cod have disappeared with this hotter weather into the cool.
let us know how you go mate.
