I've been planning to get there and give it a try, a workmate who lives near there said it's pretty full, much like most other places, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish

I haven 't fished it for a little while and only bait fish these days, I have caught some decent size Reddies, the odd Trout, Roach and of course mud marlin. I have found the best bait to be worms and corn, best time to fish there is early morning or on dusk. Take a tip don't leave your rod unattended as the mad suckers hit bloody hard.

Thanks for that mate but time restrictions prevent further travel so maybe next time i will get the chance.
