Reply With Quotekeep em comeing DP, great to read barra fishing in a totally new place, for me at least
Cold last night, went from sweating in the swag to having the cover over the top in a couple of weeks. Water temp's gone down over the last couple of weeks as well, from 30 to 28C. The dry season south easterlies are just starting to have an impact, so too is the people pressure we get at this time of the year as well.
Fish were showing on the sounder but they all had lockjaw despite the fullish moon. Gave flogging the water away about midnight to get a few hours kip and had a couple of hours again on dawn.
Result was only one fish caught with the sun up, back home by 8.00am.
Picked the fish up trolling a F18 a couple of nice jumps, missed the first with the camera, but got the second (slide film sorry) a couple of shots with both cameras beside the boat and said bye bye. looked about $1.05.
Looks like our season of plenty is going to finish much earlier than last year, still plenty of active fish around until early June in 07, you get that .
Another evening session tonight on the river and a trip to the Keep River on Sun arvo, need a small one to eat

Is that the DP that worked for the Cummings Bros?
Could be
i travelled aussie in 96 and fell inlove with that area straight away ,stayed there for a week and fished below the dam wall .you live in one very nice area keep those reports coming in mate.
Rest of the weekend not so flash, not a touch Sat night, may as well have fished in a bathtub and only one little tacker out of the Keep River this arvo, you get that sometimes
Dick,
Nuclear chicken is a soft plastic....
Thanks for the report...
Matt
Dick,
Must say I am jealous. I haven't been to the Ord, but I have heard so much about the fishing there and intend to journey over that way one day. You are very lucky to be in such a great fishing area. Keep up the reports, its always good to hear how the barra are on the other side of the country!!
cheers steve
It's like any other place Steve, there's good and bad times
DP: I sold melon boxes to Joe back in '90 / '93.. knowing you're in God's playground, tell them nothing over here in the east because they'll all be coming your way.. or have they already fished the place out? Does Wilhelm still dive for lures at the river crossing or has a croc finally got him?It's like any other place Steve, there's good and bad times
Peter
The farm's full of sandalwood now. Joe's In Esperance growing sheep and wheat, Ray's up here retired.
Wilhelm probably not doing too much diving any more. As for the croc Gabi got him long ago
Fishing still pretty good, though I havn't seen a decent one in two weeks
