FFF Minnow Dogs Semi Serious Southern Round for 2017 :)

Once again will have the (almost pointless :) ) southern round for southerners who want to enter a trout or Atlantic salmon, redfin, yellowbelly, cod or bass :mrgreen:

Cod have a -20cm handicap.

This year-long round is not part of the Seadogs barra comp.

The FFF administrator is eligible for this round :D

If there are a few entries I'll dig up a prize at year's end.

Can we add cod to the list of southern fish? Technically caught before the comp started. Caught on a recent trip up north eastern Victoria.

Cod added with a -20cm handicap :mrgreen:

Nice post, I had a go last week but no luck. A spot I like has a bl..dy great wasp nest on the track, so I'm going back with the bee suit and a nuke.

I'll gladly take the handicap. Picked up 8 cod between me and a mate in a couple of hours, mostly on surface lure. I would say the hook up rivals a Barra

Had a go last week, some bumps and this tiddler, a well marked little brown. Mini minnow got the bumps, a tiny spoon was ignored.

Took my kids to a spot next to the river for them to stretch their legs this evening and was chuffed to see trout rising.

Also got some bifocals so I can tie a size 18 fly onto 1kg tippet, the beauty of barra fishing is that the gear is all elephant guns :D

Don't forget to support it's belly while you're holding it for a pic Matt, all that weight hanging of the thumb grips no good...........

Might pay to invest in a GI Joe action figure to hold your fish for the pics :D

More minnows today, on the fly rod this time ... nothing worth the brag mat, but a glorious couple of hours fishing, river is low and clear.
