Hi Stevie.

Yesterday will be irrelivant as it was blowing a gale and coloured up the whole water. Most banks were drinking chocolate colour, and this all mixed in with the undertows with 3 to 5 feet the best visibility anywhere. A strong north westerly is evil on there. Very few areas were fishable, and the boats weren't allowed out.

I managed 2 very nice fish from the barnhill point area when i finally settled on a green and white lure, which i think was better than most fared. Strangely no action on black/green or orange.

I hope it clears a little for Monday morning, hopefully someone can update this post on Sunday night.

Thanks for reply anyway nick appreciate it

Had a couple of hours from Barnsdale Steep Bank this afternoon. Got me out of the house if nothing else!

The wind forecast for tomorrow - WNW/NW!!

I will try and find a sheltered spot, not many though in that wind.

Tim

Did you catch Tim, and what was the water clarity like?

Nick

Nick,

Catch - No! Water was clear though.

Had another couple of (blank) hours this afternoon in Barnhill creek. Only saw 2 other anglers, over the other side of the creek, who seemed to have at least one in the bag on their return.

There looked to be a few anglers over Stockie Bay area.
