G-day cloud 9, Sounds as if ya mate had a ball. I ended up with a night off work and could not sleep due to the fact I had slept all day thinking i had to work. Tried to sleep but was having no luck so rang a mate and organised to go wet a line at Teemburra , as his brother is down from Cairns for a weeks fishing. Bit of tv and internet to kill a few hours then off to Keiths at 3-30am for a quick cuppa and off to chase some barra. The water was alive with small fish breaking the surface everywere. Tied on some poppers and in no time we were getting hit but try as we might no hook ups. Is this a common thing with poppers or am I doing something wrong. Most strikes were as the popper was at rest. Maybe I should speed up my retreive as Im working them fairly slow. Great fun even with out a hook up. Steve the Cairns fisho had his first tast of Teemburra barra on fly landing a 72cm fish the previous morning at the same location. Not sure on his rod weight but I know his leader was only 10lb and he had some trouble getting the fish back to the boat, so this morning he decided not to test his luck in the fly department. Keiths young fella nailed a nice fish on a reidies before we decided to try our luck elsewere. Steve can not beleive we catch fish on the soft plastics which he has re-named GREEN SNOT. Several casts into a snag with hard bodied lures from Keiths boat received no response. So we cruised over and my first cast with a green snot at the same snag scored me the fish below. If you look at all the pics Iv sent in since joining this site Im wearing the same shirt. The ole girl reckons it's the same fish at different parts of the dam. Well if it is the same fish Im getting bloody good mileage out of it. Not sure how we make it bigger some days and smaller the next. Must be like the bloke thing, on cold days things seem smaller. Neil I will post the fly fish when I get the pic from Steve to keep you happy.
Catch you all latter.

Look around a few websites and look at the people you bump into GDay All.Everyone seems to forget about the poor little puddle called Kinchant !!!!I nailed this one in about 2ft of water with a Tango dancer and it went 98cm and weighed 17kg.As you can tell I took the photo by resting it on the bow of the boat and setting the timer but you get the idea
