Gidday Yarrone,no live bait was used this time only lures and power bait, Was going to hit the old backyard pond for some mudeyes as i had seen a couple a few weeks before our trip. but truth be known i forgot all about them in our haste to get up there. A lot of the fish seemed quite deep,so i am thinking mabye next time to try jigging as well. Cheers Twoducks

Well after seeing the upcoming social announcement,i couldnt help my self grabbed the brother in law and his son in law and off we went. Took off on Friday got there around 3pm and of course a couple of cold ones were the second priority after setting up camp. lake is around 47% full. Went for a troll with tassies for nill result. So came back to camp to celebrate,well celebrate nothing actually..lol Very cold over night. Up at 6 next morning but son in law had actually gone for a wander after we went to bed and met up with a few poker playing campers..lol. But he did actually make it out for a fish, lot of small fish about. Second morning a lot of surface activity,wish i brought the fly rod Tried the old power bait,for no result.It was like the old song four seasons in one day except it was four days! Cold,then stinking hot,then rain,then hail. In the wash up we got 3 trout all around 30 cms taken on a cricket/crawdad trawled Tried Tassies,Flatfish and the like but all were on the above Son in law spoke to the caretaker,and said alot of bass have been caught,also showed him a 70-80 cm brown that had been found on the bank. He claimed it might have jumped there?? Well guess what it ended up in his dumpster! Cheers Tducks

Love to go, have had a lot of great times at Lyell I will have to schedule it in! Cheers Twoducks

Well im cutting down a 18mtr cypruss pine! and then will work out what the hell to do with it..lol Cheers Twoducks

Oh no i know that saying well..lol also a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into! But what the hell! Cheers Twoducks

Hey all how do you post a link in Live chat? Cheers Twoducks Woohoo i just made my one hundred post..lol CheersTwoducks

Yes Rainbows were a feature in latter times,althought they say if the weathers right they can stlill be caught even down to the Penrith weir? Mabye something for Mythbusters to look into.lol My brother inlaw swears his mate can catch a heap of trout in his backyard,his backyard backs up on to the western side of Burragorang(spelling), is he legal? Buggered if i know he wont tell my b/law the exact spot..lol Cheers Twoducks

Great to see a fellow sweet water fisho on fishraider. Only fished Windamere once for a weekend in the middle of winter..brrrr,for a poor result 1..lol.But hasn,t put me off still like to chase the fresh stuff at Lake Lyell and the Snowys. Well done!! Cheers Twoducks

Giday guys loving all this Kingfish action,but im wondering,are they good eating? do you have to bleed them? whats the best prep if your lucky to get amongst a few? Cheers twoducks

So where does my old Dehav fit in this..loll Great advice well though out, Well done fellow Blackett Boy Also on a glass boat get them to tilt the motor full up, then grab the bottom of the leg and pull up again. If the Transom moves when you do this might be time to look elsewhere Cheers twoducks

I agree if you havent already give Huey a ring,at least you will get fair dinkum advice Cheers twoducks

Great effort there mate! (note to self must try harder..lol) Cheers Twoducks

Gidday mate so the problem is you cant hear the radio, wonder if your radios have a out put for a external speaker,my old Unidens internal speaker died, and when i tried to suss it out found a external speaker outlet on the back, added a small external speaker problem solved. Obviously you can extend the speaker wire to as far as you like. Cheers Twoducks

Gidday Huey,thanks for your reply Yes the boat is being lengthened,as the outboard well section will become a live bait tank and also stowage. Thus the top becoming a flat surface with hatches to the above. He has been trying to find info, on the net but dosent seem to be able to find much locally anyway. Heres some pics of the process so far Any suggestions or comments much appreciated Cheers Twoducks

Will do thanks Flightmanager Cheers Twoducks
