A New Season Begins

Well the rains are still with us and we had a phenominal wet February.

So far this year since Jan 1st we have had 1590mm with our wettest day 140mm, so it looks like being a beauty if it keeps going.

There have been quite a few barras around lately, so Duane and I went out for a fish the other day for 4 hrs. In that short but enjoyable sassion we caught 2 queenfish, 4goldies, 2 mangrove jacks, 18 barras, a couple of barracuda and an estuary cod.

Not too bad for a couple of hours?.

Although I went down the coast last week and didn't get much top the boat to speak of.

Hooking a few good fingermarks but the sharks and a big groper giving us a hiding and stealing just about everything.

Here is a pic of Jason Owens (Owy) our new guide with a 90cm barra caught and released yesterday in the Mission river.

For those of you who don't know, Jason is an experienced fly fisherman and will be a welcome addition to the team this year. He also has a few clues on those frustrating Milkies and can obviously use a baitcaster also.
