When I arrived and looked for a park I spied a ute with a KFDU sticker ( Kayak Fishing Down Under ), eventually bumped into KFDU / AKFF member Marty who faired a LOT better than I managed, the sun was well and truely above me by the time I got towards the 3rd and 4th pond and only got a few bumps and a follow in the first pond directly below the crossing ( Not sure it was a Bass ).
It was kind of confusing knowing I go left from the crossing when the river was flowing the wrong way, thankgod for Google maps otherwise I would have been fishing for Flathead ( Might have done better though, eh? ). After catching up with you around 8:30am - 9:00am I returned with the tide around noon with the small rapid runs and crossing flowing the opposite way again, got some good photos and had a blast sussing out the nice location before it pissed down.
Some huge fish on the sounder in those weed beds and loads of smaller models boofing around me, they ignored all my offerings except for the Jitterbug. Tried everything I could throw at them but left what probably would have got me a fish in the car, crap loads of Soft Plastics. The upper reaches could definately handle more than a few Kayakers on the water at the same time, heres hoping the Canberra lads organise a trip there soon ( Up for some guiding Marty? ).
PS - Funny you should mention vehicles having misfortunes on the crossing, when i returned I witnessed a Motorbike tip over at the end and a 4WD conk out half way over... Strangely enough I did it twice before I launched and twice when I returned, didnt seem to have any issues.
Packing up my gear has never been so much fun, free show to boot!
