gday fellas the waters gone down a bit here again, it will be up again though, as soon as it is ile post some pics.goldy, the whole of the murray is on flood alert mate, its hard to say though, they normally control the level between lock 11 and 15 pretty well because its the "pretty" area of mildura,buronga and gol gol. but depending on how much water we get it very well could go under,its happened before! january is when the big lot is coming they reckon.but yeah its very hard to say, wouldnt let a bit of water put him off though,if hes there and theres a chance it will get flooded he will g

gday fellas....the golden perch (callop)are going ballistic in a really big way here at the moment, around locks and weirs.people are absolutly raping and pillaging them. it really is absolutly disgusting and disheartening.happens every year without fail.went for a drive down there for a look (other side of the river though) and the bank was elbow to elbow, right up to the weir itself which is illegal in the 1st place, with out quadrupling your bag limitwas talking to a fella today and hes heard reports of one bloke in particular, taking 10 or so home,returning an hour later, take some more, g

i was there late friday nite and saturday mornin, didnt go crabbin but the old lady near us was gettin a few, not heaps but if you put in the time you would bag out.tried a bit of general purpose jetty fishin and squiding, didnt even get a sniff, tried about 15 differnt jags including a tommy on a stick and no squid either, didnt see anyone else pull any in while i was there either.after a while i ventured up further, about where the shed/office lookin thing is with some heavier gear to go for the snapper that are meant to be there, was using a black magic snapper rig with fresh squid, nothing
