BYNOE EASTER 2015 WEEK NO. ONE.

Just back to pick up a few supplies after nearly a week out at Bynoe.  So a quick update before we head out again this afternoon.  The tides were great, water in places was milky, but after the rain the last few nights, it cleared up in a lot of spots.  Very hot out there and we came in just after lunch each day and had a lay day on Good Friday.   Fish all over the place.

The fresh coming out of the little creeks and gutters set them off.  But they were a bit finicky on what flies that they would take...Lord Jim had barra take most of the couple of dozen flies Roggie made up for him, and we won't mention the knot that came undone.   We all got Barra in different spots, all over the harbour, best landed was a 78cm by Jim and I am not allowed to talk about the ones that got away, but I think they were a different breed of barra with a lot of swear words  to describe what type of barramundi family they belonged to???.

A typical barra around 57cm

The best fly for us seemed to be the black/red bird fur thing (below), whilst others worked, the black one was the best. You can see it still on the fly rod above too.

We managed some good threadies, up to 67 cm and heaps of blues around the 55cm mark.

One of the threadies......and Roggies fingers.

 There were bait balls around like this with queenies and trevors tearing through them...lost count of the queenies we caught, they were everywhere in different sizes up to 70cm.

 In some places there were schools of bream that looked like rocks in the water, and they were a pain around the barra, because they would hit the fly first.  They were tiny but heaps of them and a lot of fun.

Just got to pack the esky now and off again, report again in a week or so.
