    Thumbs up Re: Thong Thing

    Thong, I am thinkin of headin to Borumba for the next few days, your report sounds better than most from around the traps.

    What sort of H'bodies were the Bass taken on mate?

    Where from, weeds, basin, cliff, trees, wall, shadows?

    Did you try spinners or softies?

    Sounds promising,
    I too leave them for the next bloke, they are not real good eating anyway

    Thongthing, its not those big boats that shut the fishing down. Its been very hit and miss there for quite a few months now, but with some good days in between. The fishing should improve from here on with an increase in water temp and stable weather patterns. Well, we all hope so. Most dams around the place have been struggling the past few months.
    So its not the boats to blame, just the past weather conditions.
    Cheers
