Manton Madness
Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2008 7:52 pm
well this is my first report on fff, see how it goes..
ill start with abit of a story. headed out to manton dam with the mrs and a mate in my tinny, along with the bandit's in their boat. fished all arvo and through the night. tried lots of different lures and spots. all in all it was pretty quite!
HOWEVER!!! not long after we got there, i trolled up a small barra at 48cm which broke the duck. This got us all pretty excited after the reports that have been getting around latly. We did another pass and elliot pulled in a 53
We did another pass over the same area and bang elliot was on!!! after a p..s weak fight (which supprised me) elliot pulled in 88cm of beautiful black barra
The camera was in the car so we roared back to the boat ramp and got some pics. after a few quick pics it was successfully released.
we went back to the spot and after a fewmore passes and we moved on as the fishing had shut down.
at about 9 or 10 a massive downpour came through, it absoultly p...ed down!!!
we went back to the ramp and pulled out along with the bandit an the 8 or 9 other boats that had been fishing out there!!!
All in all it was a great trip. lots of laughs were had. The best part of fishing there is being able to jump in when it gets hot. even tho we got these barra it still hasnt inspired me to go out there and fish it more often. its def a hard place to get barra
