Great report swordies and some top photos
It has always been one of the places i am keen to visit.
It looks like i would have to buy alot more spinnerbaits,as i only have a few.By the photos it looks like the
majority of the fish were caught on them.
Well done again.

I love the 3" and 4" power minnow in pearl watermelon colour,
I have to agree there,although my flattie spinning with sp's is still in its early stages have tried out fair few different types/brands.So far have had most success with 3" power minnows in pearl blue color.

Arrived at maianbar around 6:30am,All looked good as i walked out to the main channel only stopping to pump a few nippers and collect some soldier crabs.
As i arrived at the main channel so did this monster
Oh well i thought, the dredging could have one of 2 effects,either shut down the fish or stir up some food.
As it turned out it was a bit of both.
The dredge was working back and forth fairly slowly,so i started to burley lightly with a mixture of bread,chicken pellets(with a touch of dry cat food).Within minutes had a mixture of small whiting and small mullet(i think) interested.I was casting lightly waited nippers just behind them in the hope something bigger would turn up,but no luck.
At around 8 oclock the dredge moved off torwards the entrance,within minutes i started to catch numerous small whiting all just under legal(came close with this one at 25cm.Quick photo and returned.),but just couldnt hook any bigger.
Shortly after that a group of blokes turned up,and i had a friendly chat with one of them,that came to see if i had any luck.They had been fishing over to the far right(across the inlet)and had manage a couple of legal bream.They set up about 30M away from me to try their luck,and wouldnt you know it one of them hooked a nice size flounder(32cm).They asked if it was edible and if it was legal size,and to my suprise when i answered yes they than gave me the fish
.Not much else was caught after that(i managed a few more small whiting)and they managed a small flatty.Just before 10am the dredge came back,i left shortly after.
All in all it was a good day,beautiful sunny morning,a few fish,some good blokes and a feed of fresh flounder.

Have been meaning to post some snaps from holidays on the manning river for a while now.There wasnt really any fishing reports to post,as we(myself and father-in-law) did not manage to get into many.

Its been a few years,but used to have natives for a while.Had a pair of bass a barra and a archer fish in a 4ft tank for atleast a 18months(now have tropicals because the kids like the colors).At the same time my brother in law had a tank set up with a barra approx 20-25cm long.
we were breeding feeder guppies aswell for food for both tanks,you should be able to tell when the guppies are pregnant fairly easy,due to swelling of bellly.
I know this may sound wrong to every thing you normally do,but i have had fish(on and off)for the last 20 years and i have never worried about doing regular water changes EVER.I am sure fish adjust to their enviroment.I have a pair of angel fish that regulary breed,and the male is one of the biggest angels i have ever seen,and i do nothing special to them at all.I have not done a water change in the last year atleast.
Gazza,as far as i know and have observed they will only grow as big as there surroundings let them.So they should not out grow your tank in a hurry.Start with a small barra and then you should have atleast a few years of enjoyment from them.

Well done on getting your first australian bass johnno.
I still remember my first,it came from a secret spot
in my local area. I was fishing a shallow diver from the bank and actually saw the fish follow it and then just hammer the lure from below. I was hooked on them from that day on.well done

theres a fish shop behind ingleburn pub well there used to be! hes right into his cichlids and has helped a friend of mine breed many types go have a chat!
I live in the area,that bloke has gone now.They moved to around the front of the pub for a while,there is a pet shop behind the pub now(but with different people)I will ask my brother-in-law what his secret is.He has 3 tanks set up with cichlids,many frontosa that breed beyond belief,He always has numerous young(most of his stock came from Ingleburn oringinally).He has that many at times he gives them away.
I am thinking of getting some more self as i have tropical fish at the moment(angels,tetras etc)and just feel like a change.I will try to pry some secrets off the brother-in-law and let you know.

Thats a fantastic effort to help out some kids and introduce them to this wonderful activity,we all enjoy so much.Good to see you got them on to some fish aswell.
I just hope that they get to enjoy fishing again and maybe introduce their family to fishing aswell.
