It was a long haul around to the south of around 500kms
but the promise of big fish seemed to make it all seem worth while.... and for the 2 non driver it might have been an esky full of cold beer that made the drive seem ok 
Anyway we went down stream the first warm up day and found a few rats in one creek and that was all.... bugger... so we rang BEAR and he drove out for a red wine and a chin wag and gave us all of his upto date info
Thanks BEAR you rock man
We went up stream the next day but still we got licked....GC did drop a barra of around 90cm but that was it for that day even with the info from the master (BEAR)
For the first day of the comp we went down stream and Bretto got a nice 60cm fish to get us on the board..... but everything else was to small or long distance released
even after 250kms...Day 2 had us up the rookery for zip.... yes we dropped a few fish but that doesn't count...... oh well we only did 195kms......
Day 3 we decided to head of in the dark and we made it to the rookery mouth at 0630hrs.... that was scary in the dark I can tell ya..... we fished there untill 1200hrs and only 1 fish over 55cm......bugger. so off we went and fish a creek closer to the bridge.... I got 1 rat and bretto got what we thought was a good hit... it turned out to be a 3mtr croc
anyway it was a slow few days on the river for us mob... some people did ok but there were a lot of very well known fishos who also got licked this year.... we did everything right but LUCK was not with us
we flogged that water to foam but with nothing to show for it?Maybe next time a GC
??: We had a good crew to fish with and all in all it was still better than working but I did get a few complaints about snooring.....I didn't hear a thing so maybe they were hearing things
