thought I would start showing the Dirty coloured water in the river.



plenty of duck-weed thriving in the water.



lot's of weed no matter where you fished



clean looking carp though





another milky pic

wasn't all doom and gloom though

always seem to find a quiet spot on long weekends



plenty of roos roam freely around the Park



only required a small fire at night



very relaxing watching a few boats float by





was trolling various stumpjumpers and flicking many of the fallen trees. plenty of weed catching the trebles.

my one and only fish for the weekend on a SP

Sunday was total bludge day drinking plenty of home brew and bourbons in the warm weather.

wasn't expecting the weather to change...... for the better

love the rain to cool things down









Sunday was Camp-oven Stew day. started cooking in the sun, but soon had to move my cooker under the annexe.

I'll post some camp-oven pics tomorrow in the great outdoors

looks like it was stll a great weekend tho

That fish you caught looks like a juvenile Murry cod and should not be removed from the water just for a photo other than that act of environmental vandalism...great post and pics
cheers brenton

I wouldn't share my secrets with just anyone, but I'm gonna help you out here, coz I know you'd do the same for me!

You'll have much more success if you use a slightly smaller plastic, to target slightly larger fish!

Filleting them littlies can be a nightmare without ya glasses too!

bet that smelt faught well being fowl hooked and all

Looks like a nice camp spot and good to see the river that colour and it sounds like there should be plenty more water to come

cheers wes

great post as usual rick and grteat photos but really,, wheres the rest of them ya slacking of...

that weed looks thick in some places would play havock with the outboard id imagine..

great looking camping spot was it a caravan park or a national park,only wondering cos my boys love the roos bouncing around and would love to camp with them......

it was a ripper of a weekend Old Salty

your a mongrel brenton

had to have a double-take on your reply ranger

there was a consistent flow in the water wes. the locals were happy.

it is the Loxton Big4 caravan park. you wouldn't know when camped by the river. it is my "safe" camping area if the weather looks bad.

we planned a solo weekend, and so did one of our camping buddies. they arrived friday as we did, but they camped under the trees with the roos. we chose the waters edge to camp. both were excellent spots.

had been holding back carps. sorry

Looks like a very relaxing week end away Rick.
Pulling in big fish like that was probably the biggest effort you put in all week end
Took more effort than paddling that canoe........when is Cindy going to learn that paddling up front is a lot harder....when you , out of sight, can stop paddling and relax while she battles on, shame on you Rick

Looks like a great spot,good to see you both enjoy your get aways together.
Great pictures and report Rick.......and i promise not to tell Cindy about being in the back of the canoe next time.......Well not for a couple of days anyway

When I saw the heading I thought

He's been at the Viagra again

Is a great park that one , we used to frequent that on the bikes quite regular years ago , strange how we never caught any fish , what do you mean there has to be a hook. Looks like the pair of you had a top time , and that weed really is in abundance, now come on where's the camp oven pics.

Cheers

The dirty water is back with a vengeance, funny how a little flow can stir things up to...MUD.
With more flood water on the way i reckon we will have this dirty stuff for a long while and will miss out on the winter clear up
Great post ricky boy
