hopefully the road will smooth out a bit cause I'm sure it cannot get any worse >:(>:( then again at least you will be able to see the holes in the road.

[bigdan123]

Yep, there is 6 or 7 of us from the BFO site staying at Burrum Caravan park. Fishing the Dam during the day and Burrum river at night ( coz the water board are not sociable enough to let us on the dam at night!). If your around and see anyone in a BFO shirt, say g'day!

G'day Herby 13

The barra are definitely still on the chew. We were there yesterday and still caught them through the rain. They are a bit more structure bound at the moment with the reduced temperatures and a bit of extra water in the dam, albeit only 6 inches or so extra water so far. We found them all over the place mainly on points with jackalls and 100 mm slick rigs. 6 legal fish from 62 to 68cm and another 14 from 51 to 56 cm came at regular intervals during the day. While it was raining heavily they came away from structure a bit more but most of the time our lures had to be within inches of the weed and snags. Also 14 bass were taken between 36 and 47 cm.

The road in is still very ordinary and the rain definitely hasn't helped except that it makes the holes easier to see since they are full of water. I think it is still posible to camp at Wongi Waterholes which is near the dam.
