First Time in Over 3 Months, which is a Long Time for us.
Arrived at the Boat Ramp Friday Morning, to find 2 Trailers Parked, and 1 Just Launching on the Ramp.
The Tide was coming in, fairly Fast. It was just after 8.00 am.
Headed down, and Just Below Browns, Fish Action every where, Mostly Mullet, I guess, but it did look Good.
Decided to Stop at Charlies, to wait for the Top of the Tide, which happened pretty Quick.
I caught a Small Barra, just after the Change, and that was it.
Went down Further, and Stopped at a Favourite Spot, and Shortly after arriving, My Father is On. A 57 cm, Thank You Very Much, we kept it.
After a few more Baits taken, I have a 62 cm, on the Floor. He also is in our 56 - 65 cm Size range, and we Kept him.
It went Quiet for a while, and we decided to head back, Fishing a Couple of locations, on the way.
Stopped again at Charlies, to Catch 1 more 57 cm, that we Released, and went through the rest of our Bait, mostly on undersized Fish.
For the Day, we Caught 2 X 57 cm, 1 X 62 cm, a Few more Smaller Barra, and Fed Plenty of Others. No p o w e r t a i l, No Sharks, No Snags
Day 2, Decided to do the same as the Day before, Tide was Coming in again, and So, it meant the Turn was going to be Later.
Headed Down Stream, and it was Nothing like the Day before, No Fish Action on the Surface.
Stopped at Charlies, to get Nothing.
Left about Half an hour, after the Change, to head Down to our Favourite Spot.
The Night Before, I Promised a Fish, to the Park Care Taker, who had been Down the River, for a Month, and not Catch a Keeper, and was heading back to Queensland, Sunday.
And so the pressure was on.
Well, we Fished for a few Hours, Loosing Bait after Bait, to Undersized Fish, and Hits, and Misses.
Down to 1 last Dead Bait, and I'm On, put up a pretty good Fight, missed the Net a Couple of Times, to End up, on the Floor.
A 64 cm Barra,


Heading Back, we turned a Corner, to be Looking at a Darkening Sky. We Motored on, to hit Drizzle, which wasn't too Bad.
Then it Started coming down Harder, and I slowed down.
It was a case of Slowing Down, and hoping it goes Over, or Keep Going, because it might get worse.
We pushed on, Slowing when it got bad, and going, when it was comfortable.
We finally got back to the Boat Ramp, and it started to become more Drizzle, than Rain.
Got back to Camp, and it Bucketed Down.

The Sat TV was Out, so we missed most of the AFL Grand Final.
But the Caretaker was happy with his fish.

Caught 1 X 64 cm, many smaller Fish, 1 X Small Stingray, No Powertail, No Sharks, 1 Tree

Sunday
A Short Day, Have to go to Work.
Left 8.00 am,
Tide Coming in again, Decide to go straight down to our Spot.
Met a Nomad going through Browns, and decided to help him out.
Let him follow me through all the Problems, letting him know about the Main Rock Bar, and Other Problems, that we know about.
Took him down to our spot, only to find out, he was going back to Queensland on Monday, Fishless.
He caught a Couple in the Finniss, I think, and has eaten them, but currently Fishless.
I asked him if he would like 1, if we caught it, and he obviously accepted.

As it turned out, My Father Caught a 59 cm, that made the Nomad Happy, and then when he was away Flicking Lures, I was lucky enough to Catch a 66 cm.
It was time to leave, and we left the Nomad with our 2 Fish, Our last 4 Baits, and our Fishing Spot.

We Caught 1 X 59 cm, 1 X 66 cm, many under sized, 1 X Shark, 1 x Powertail No Snags.
When we got back to the Boat Ramp, there was a 4 metre Crocodile Sitting on the Surface, right where you launch.
I have not seen a Crocodile anywhere near the Ramp Before.
I did accelerate over it, to Scare it away, but it did not seem to concerned. SO BE CAREFULL


At the end of the trip, we caught 6 Keepers, 57 - 66 cm, many in the 50 - 54 cm, a few Smaller fish, a couple of other Fish, but we went through 56 Baits, all but a couple lost to Fish.
There was no "Hot Time", but a couple of times we got hit, at the same time.
It was just every 20 mins, half hour, there was a bit of action.
It was one of the better Trips, than we have had in a long time.
