Mackay Sun 1/4

Winds looks like it might have dropped off a bit on Sunday, anybody toying with the idea of wetting a line? Haven't been out to Bakers in a while and tides would be friendly out that way but also wouldn't mind checking out the middle reach of the Pioneer somewhere (Ron Camm maybe) - can someone comment on how dirty the river is? If it's somewhere easy to launch I might even take the new PA for it's maiden voyage.

Same here . . . all work and no play . . . . .

Had a look at the Pioneer river up near Dumbleton today and spoke to a guy who had been fishing there and where the water is clearer, there is still a bit of run as he said that the weir is still overflowing.

Downstream looks pretty clear though and with the neap . . .ish tides there may not be a lot of movement down towards the bridges
