true
true mate. croakers being caught 9ks up river. they are up round gregory rock paradise flat all over. the ones caught right up river are really yellowy colored meaning they moved up as finglings and stayed up river. good blueys up river and muddies. good bream all round up there. callum is in the know and the local boys have had pretty good sessions up there.
