Bros,
Years ago, I used to live in barcaldine, and fished the Barcoo regularly at Omar station (isisford) and at another place half way between Barcy and Blackall, Moonbria Station (I think...it was a while ago)...we used to fish the Thompson at Muttaburra also. When the water was settling after a big wet, the fishing was spectacular on croychies and schrimp....schrimp were in their billions. When the water totally settled and cleared, we used to troll celta spinners and smack 50-60 fish a day....bobbing with croychies was also fun too. Again, I remember several occassions getting 30 -70 fish in a day (obviously only keeping a few)....I would love to go back in a time machine and have a fist full of spinnerbaits and plastics....I reckon they would have worked a treat. So, I reckon you have timed your trip spot on. I think you should have no troubles...just ask some locals when you get there too.
Geez, this is bringing back memories!! They were great times as a young fella!!! scooping bore drains for croychies, bobbing with cane poles, camping on a creekbed with a bell on ya line so you could hear a bite during the nite....stumbling down a black soil bank after ten thousand XXXX's
Now that was livin Barry!!!:grin:
Good luck with your trip mate...you will have a ball
Cheers Steve
