THE LESSON Just had the worst day fishing ever. Woke up at 3.52am with a shocking headache, runny nose & loose bowels. Managed to will myself into a reasonable state to roll out of the garage with boat in tow at 630am. 30 minutes from my preferred launch site it was clear I had to have an emergency meeting with Mr. Hanky. Diverted to the nearest town and conducted my business. As there was a boat ramp in town decided to fish upstream instead of downstream as originally planned. Water had turned from green to brown since my last visit two weeks prior. By lunchtime even though I had found fish I had nothing to show for my efforts. Headache was so bad it was making me nauseous, so I ate a sandwich and had a nap in the boat. Woke up and decided to start casting in some likely areas. Right on cue, the wind started howling and I proceeded to irretrievably snag then bust off three lures in quick succession. Fished my way back to the ramp for another few hours and ended up with a big fat donut. Never ever will I pack another banana for a snack in a boat.

I had a great day out at Myponga reservoir recently, participating in some fish sampling with Recfish SA and SARDI. The native fish are thriving in this spectacular location even with the large biomass of redfin, some of which are on the menu for the larger natives. In fact, the scientists tagged a 72cm cod which had a redfin hanging out of it’s mouth! I can also report that I saw some of the recently stocked rainbow trout hunting baitfish in the shallow margins too. A magnificent fishery going from strength to strength! #goldenperch #callop #yellowbelly #murraycod #rainbowtrout #redfin #mypongareservoir #reservoirssa #recfishsa #sardi #citizenscience #catchandrelease #freshwaterfishing #fishing #fishingsamagazine #tackleworldadelaide #jarviswalker https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp056uhyliy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This pale skinny yella scoffed a big bait intended for cod!
