Wasn't trying to be negative mate. I was just passing on the info. But gee, thanks for your negative reaction.
I was thinking about going on this trip but I am unlikely to get away from work atm.
But if I was going I would take reports like those in the link into account and then consider at least having a plan B if reports don't improve much in the 3 weeks before you leave. Its a long way to go for a fruitless trip when you could move it to say Hervey Bay or maybe 1770 and still have a great time. According to Sweetwater Monduarn is going off atm so you could also consider that one, but again it is getting a lot of in flows at present so the fishing might change with the water levels.

There is the Burrum River near it I think that could be a plan B, maybe Mick can give us some options.
I am like Sel there is no way I am not going.

No word on Lentils reopening as yet, but some good news with Monduran firing up with some ig Barra. Its a bit further to go from Brissy but still within range.
Here is a report from Sweetwater fishing: http://www.sweetwaterfishing.com.au/Forum/index.php/topic,515.0.html

I just made two phone calls, one to the Wide bay water people and the other Maryborough forestries/parks.
The dam was opened for public access an hour ago and the camping grounds are open also.
They will be open at they time of our trip subject to whether more high rainfall is received in the area.
Looks good at the moment,
Cheers

Some excellent news there Sel. Thanks for the update. Hopefully there are still some fish left in the dam and they are hungry.

Sorry everybody but I can't go 
. A good friend is moving house and I will be helping her move over that weekend. I will try for the next gathering. Hope you all catch a nice big barra each for all of us to drool over.

I have been looking at some pics over at BFO. Does it now mean we can launch at the back of the dam? There is a pic there that looks like it is a causeway with water almost to the top, is this near the camp area? if it is, it would be easy as for us to launch our yaks in there.

G'day Sel,
Yeah mate, you can launch there, but parking might be a probem.
BTW there is a heap of new water upstream from the causway too. Lots of structure.

If we all have carts for our yaks then we can certainly walk there towing the yaks behind us. It is about a 700m walk at a guess.

Have a look at this, been searching around some sites looking for some reports on Lenthalls.
This is a shot of active bass on the sounder at Lenthalls last year, lets hope we find a sounding like this, party time
Cheers

Have stocked up on a few things this week. Got 4 ridgeback lures that look like they would catch barra for $5 each (clearance at BCF) some slick rigs in drop bear, some betts spinner things, some lobby squidgies to match with them, some kokoda surface frogs and worm hooks to go with them, and also got some kokoda big eye buffs (sp's) that look like barra would eat them up (pack of two for $2). All that for about $50, not bad budget shopping!!!!

Sounds good
I have just gone the slick rigs I had here from my last barra trip and I bought a few trolling lures, If I can't catch them on that nothing else will help.
Taking my usual bass gear too.
Hard to know how to fish it whether to rig for bass or barra, I wonder whats the best way to do it?
Cheers
