[robersl]

Hi all just wondering has there been any rise in water at monduran since the rain if so how much or has it just been a trickle

Shane, personally I thought levels were up from early December, the green grass was right to the waters edge, and Ive got a stump up at H that I use to gauge levels, and it was basking its toes in the water on the week end. All the creeks north of Childers were running brown as well, though I didnt notice any colour changes to the water at the creek mouths I fished on Sunday.
On a positive note, I thought the water quality had improved a bit, not as green, except in Jacks, where it was very ordinary.

Not that i could notice when i was there on the weekend. The rain was going around us according to Chewy, and hitting places like Maryborough and Bundy.
We really only had 1 or 2 good down pours of say 20 - 30 mm each. Most of that would have been sucked in by the ground

Its definately effecting the fishing.Know what u are saying Ben....BTW cat naps and recovery time my mind goes strait back to last weekend...I agree with the traffic thing...as soon as a boat ripped through the Tailing Barra went sub surface...I wished the areas we found were more isolated from the traffic lanes:(....Good weekend though.

Gday Whitto, Benny nailed it with the boat noise issue, thats why I was hitting those early starts before all the bumble bees buzzed past me.
Amazing the difference, Monday up you know where was practically deserted, me, nav and vin, and some other bloke in a skeeter or something similar, and that was it, and look at the difference in results!

Water level at dam wall on the 23.1.09 was 65.56 metres At 9am 31.01.09 Water level was 65.60 metres

Ahh yes, our glorious national highway system!
Did you have the new swag on the weekend mate, the one you brought for over niteing in the boat, if so, how was it, Im intending to do that a bit from now on.

Rising water levels going to have any effect on the fishing in the coming weeks?
Im up there on the 13th.....
Anything i should do diffrently to normal?? Not that "normal" has worked thus far.

Any help appreciated this is my 3rd trip and i would really like to land one this time around!!!
7 Hour drives for no fish really are not alot of fun! Mind you they couldnt be all bad as i keep going back...:-/ ;D

Foxie i will drop in mid arvo on the 13th to grab some more gear and get all the latest info!!
Had a good arvo with Rod and kim today and they gave me all the info from there last trip so hopefully that will help some what!:D

The rise is minimal mate, i wouldnt do anything differently.
Fish prime times[sunrise and sunset] and look in the almanac for the peak fishing times, just as a guide.
I love the points, tie to a tree fishing different lures and retrieves.
Love the B52 in gold,
Ben
