just a few more from the Ord
« on: April 18, 2011, 06:01:58 PM »
Here's a few shots from the Ord over the last month.  The run off still has a bit to go but has started to decline, with luck the fish should stay interested for a while longer. A vintage May would be handy.

We struck no monsters but heard of the odd one.  Most of the fish sat between the slot limit of 55 - 80cm. 



















The flooding was impressive, not seen the lower Ord like that since 2006 and Cyclone whatshername.




















Run off was pretty constant for a few weeks








Low tide sand bars blocking the river, could find no way through on one low tide so had to drag the boat across the bar to a deeper channel





Crocs kept pretty low but you saw the odd one








The river always puts on a good show :) .

UBK, mate that's the ghost of the Kimberly haunting dick saying he's caught enough Barra for one day. Dick, great report as usual and the pics are awsome. What sort of camera gear are you using?
