Faust and Awoonga Mid-October wrong section sorry

Hi all

Had a better trip in May /June see

http://www.ausfish.com.au/cgi-ausfis...num=1150639389 (Barra,Jacks and a MMarlin) if it's there


But anyway we can't help the weather

1st week at prossie coincided with ABT comp ie: arrived on their last day

Caught up with Lindsay and met Jas, Bushy and matt and scott?? from townsville

Also woke up Awoonga(Trev) when I got to the pub... early start for him

Spent 5 days in howling winds and low temps. Was too stubborn to fish weed beds

Love the sticks ;) ;)

As such. never boated a barra ;D ;D Only a ripper of a sooty

Met a fellow ausfisher on his way north.

Hi rodney, can't remember yr usename.. cheers Mate

Talked him into coming for a look at the dam.... promised him his first barra :)

Bugger.... he got one after 1 hr. a 109 barra at that!!!

Sent him on his way and after a run out at the islands 1 day for a nice schoolie/doggy mackerel headed to Awoonga

Well winds headed south with me.

water temp never above 24 degrees but they were there and after a week I had an 83cm and on my own a 117 cm one that really tested me!!

Lost about 5 as well

Not many picks but had a ball

Cheers

Nice fish Luskin.

I will be up there soon for the first time can't wait
Would be happy to catch any one of those fish

Good fish mate.... ;) ;) ;)

Well done Luskin great work nice fish and well done on putting someone on to their first Barra.

Thanks for telling it how it was.

I'ts great to catchup with Ausfisho's as we met one at Awoonga and he was good value - hopefully as i type he has his first barra.

If any Ausfishos are going to awoonga in the next couple of days call in to the cabins next to the toilet block and look for the guys with a hornet. He is a big guy with a cojack - put them on to some good spots if they haven't got fish yet as it would be great to see another fisho with their first barra. Ask him if he has been fishing Dead Cow Bay and hopefully not No Fish Bay!!!!

Well done again on a great trip.

Were the Abt guys doing anything new technique wise????
