Just come back from fishing over Easter, caught good sized yellow belly around Lock 7, Mullaroo and Neds Corner. Caught a feed and more everyday. The weather was perfect, not alot of traffic and to top it off, the best fishing I've every experienced. I'd like to hear from other readers about their Easter fishing!

Thankyou for the books we ordered last week. I'm currently reading A RIVER WOMAN about Pearl Wallace(this is the book you suggested) Thankyou so much, it's an interesting read. My husband is now reading HOW TO CATCH MURRAY COD, so next month, we'll be off to the river to catch the elusive Murray Cod. Thankyou again...
