Fitz,

Thanks for posting that footage!!  They are some healthly looking Yella's there.  Interesting to see them school up near that pipe.

Regards
Colin

:thanks ... I'm guessing it's the only piece of structure in the tank, gets you thinking about what spots you have passed by thunking 'not enough structure to have any decent fish on it'

Brad,

You're right on the structure thing, I gotta admit I dismiss a fair bit of structure in local creeks that I feel doesn't look thick enough.  Will be taking that into account next time though.  In the early part of the video I thought I saw some rocks at the bottom, perhaps they like the structure to be taller/vertical for some reason.  mmmmmm.......1000 theories and plenty of time to prove them right/wrong, time to start planning the next trip :thumbsup.

Regards
Colin
