Chucked the old henaki out into pond tonight to see if it will work,its pretty old and ragged we found it in the river.
Possom trapper helped set it. Will check tomorrow if its no good will put some long lines out.

It should work Dundee. What did you bait it with?
Sheep liver wrapped in a longjohn sleeve.
That should do the businessQuote:

Just been back over to pond just the one in the henaki,made more modifications cut the first ring off the net as it was broken and the entrance wasn't the best.Should be good tomorrow I'm hoping,added a bit of sheep heart to the bait.
Sean Dundee set a land line and caught a small one but it got off.
Attachment 7585
The next picture is taken standing in the overflow so its pretty bloody low:(
Attachment 7586
That peg that Sean Dundee is holding onto is where the feed buckets are hung for the ducks and that
is the normal water level.
Mate you need rain. No two ways about it
Do the boys need to catch some?

Your dad might not like you polluting the pond Sean but throwing the magpies in there would fatten them up.Quote:
