we stopped at litte lizzy, and before we could get the anchor down we heard a few boofs, the race was on to see who could get the lure in first, but turned out that race wasnt really worth running. we threw everything we had at the barra but couldnt manage to raise a scale. so after a few hours of casting, drinking laughing we decided to play cards instead. every now and then a boof was so significant we got up for a cast, but still nothing. time for bed at about 2am
morning time, just before sunrise and 5 casts in i hooked a decent fish, about 65cm or so, but proceeded to spit the soft plastic. we peppered the for a while longer for not much action so we decided to head down river and check out the scene. we were excited by just about every creek, few flicks at some but no luck. our main target was to head to clear and see what was happening down that way. we were disappointed by the bait, the water colour and the lack of fish. we had another hook up down there but nothing exciting and was only small.
we fished all the way back up to elizabeth for nothing. by now the water had dropped a lot and the water pumping out of elizabeth was brown. this is where i landed my fish in a nice back eddy, and dropped another one. my mate was giving me heaps for dropping a few, but at least i was getting hook ups, he wasn't even getting a hit.
very disappointing trip, we were hoping for a little more, but there is always next time.
a few new snags in the middle of the river, and a nice big one in the middle of elizabeth.
