G'day Bowds,
Yeah, we were out at Donnybrook over the weekend and the missus landed a nice 50cm flatty on the ever faithful nuclear chook.

I caught squat.

Cheers,

Hey Bowds,
The best placcy by far i have found around Donny is the old Atomic 3inch fat grug in crawdad colour (seem to be phasing them out these days an was just lucky to grab the last pack of the shelf from my local bcf the other day), fair dinkim mate, picked up 17 good to better than average lizards at the mouth of poverty creek on the run out tide once with my bro within an hour an a half session, mostly all catch an release but kept a couple for a feed, anyways seem to be giving away a few good secrets these days but as long as people arent greedy theres still some quality fish to be had in the passage, my last post should be fair testiment to that,
Anyways mate happy days an give the old crawdad grub a go if you can find them,
Cheers Thorpy
