Thanks Dave
I'm still going to try locally, just to hopefully find a spot
Cheers Gra
PM'd you.
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Only 17 days to go, maybe shorter for me
46.35% full, only 1,545,422 (ml) for the fish to hide in.
Can't wait

The water level this yr will be the lowest it has been since we started doing this trip. Unfortunately there water release is scheduled to increase for the next week, so it wouldn't surprise me if it got below 45%

Not that it will matter as we always have a good time and generally catch a fish or 2

Will make sure I have a full tank, to scourer the banks for a likely spot
Hopefully the price of fuel drops a lot
I'm still to utilise my yabby traps, found a likely dam though
If I get doughnuts, Uncle Dave has me cover.
Changed my plans to yabbies & corn (cocktail), with maybe a lure at times
Going for the metre cod or nothing, you can probably guess the results already
BUT you never know if you don't give it a go
Cheers Gra
