All week the forecast predicted 15 – 20 knots of wind,
swells to 1.5 metres for this weekend. Wrong! Glass out and no swell was the
fact until the afternoon sea breeze arrived after lunch.
Bynoe being the fishery it is produced the goods with Barra
and Threadies on offer along the edges. Over two fishing sessions 9 Barra were
landed with not one below legal size. Maybe all the small ones have headed
upstream to the sweetwater!

A storm Sunday night dumped a good drop of rain around Bynoe
which woke the Threadies up. Wherever there was a drain pushing some dirty
water out there were Threadies feasting on the soup of Jelly prawns.

With the recent rains local Bynoe floodplains are holding
good amounts of water and a couple of locals have been giving the Finnis Fresh
a look and report good numbers of “rat” Barra being caught, plenty of Tarpon on
offer. Saturday afternoon a Tarpon was landed then rigged as live bait, cast
out from the boat ramp and lasted 20 seconds before a metre plus Barra took a
liking to it! Hopefully this is an indication of the freshwater fishing that we
will experience in a couple of months.
Remember, “You’ll never never know, if you never never go!”
Get out there and fish.
Tight lines,
