Cooinda Yellow Waters weekend
Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2018 7:02 pm
Managed to get a few rooms for the family at Cooinda Saturday night
Fished during a lovely sunset for 1 passable fish at the main junction trolling. But threw him back anyway.
Sunday Morning counted 81 Barra mostly tailing (tail high in water , head down at 45 degree angle), not interested in anything we threw at them, from rubbers, hard bodied, zerek prawns. (all at once as we had 4 in the boat)
Water temp on the two days 34 arvo - 32C (in morning)
Majority of 81 fish were in 30-60 range with a few fat 80's.
If I had a spear & a good eye, could of filled the boat
Most appeared to be heading upstream
(Last year we saw them heading downstream)
Didnt see any traces of tags, which is good as that would of been even more depressing. (Yeah, I Couldnt get the cheap rooms for starters)
I think the place needs some cooling rain for the fish to become normal again
& Platoon style BTEC squad to sweep over the plains & knock the buffalo as the country is chopped, plodded and clapped out to buggery
Harry Butler was right after all.
