Shaneo, remember stealth and persistance are your two best friends mate, if it looks fishy, birds are feeding, bait on the sounder or flicking on the surface, glide in, no noise, and give it a good working. I allways turn the four stroke off as I enter a bay, then come in on the leccy, or if its real clear, just push myself along by hand tree to tree.
The problem, if you can call it a problem, with Monduran is that there is soooo much timber, it can be a bit overwhelmeing to start. My first trip there I never got past the first bay on the LHS of Bass Straight, I was sucked in by all the vertical sticks!
Points, weed bed edges, lay down timber if you can find it, drowned lantana at the back of little inlets if you cant, good places to start, after that its a case of useing ya spidey senses mate. Every bay holds fish, its just that some will hold active fish, the hard part is being johnny on the spot for those active fish.
Damn, I wish I was heading up tomorrow, the next week and a bit is really going to hurt.

Have a safe trip Shane - you'll have fun up there. Good luck navigating your way up the lake through all those trees - that'll be an experience for you (or to get back). Look forward to the post on the Big Meter Barra. Cheers, Darren.

Guaranteed to get pricked...happens when you least expect it. Best tip is to jab yourself before you even pick up those split ring pliers and you'll be right from there on:o

Best of luck Shane...looking forward to hearing some good barra tales.

Cheers
