Brisbane River mouth 13/8/07

[Callop]

Went out to the port this morning to try and improve my pb on squire(I've only caught 1 legal one before of 37cm) and to convert a mate over to the dark side(plastics). I managed to achieve both.
Things were quiet early so after an hour or so at the whalves, we went out to the rock wall and got a nice feed of winter whiting with all caught on Gulp sandworms in natural. No more squid for this little black duck.
Back to the whalves in the hope of finding a squire or two. But all we could scare up were 2 flathead of 53 & 55 cm(Chief - magic mark 67 did the trick). We caught one each and both were pb's. But still no squire.
Having never been to Mud and the bay was like a sheet of glass so we decided to have a look at it. We didn't do any good at Mud but it was an enjoyable trip.
Maybe one last flick along the whalves on the way back to Whyte Island. So we tried near the new construction and ended up throwing back 5 undersized squire. Things are looking up. We worked our way back towards the ramp all the way to the grain terminal when a 45 cm sqiure finally hit my gulp.
What a top day out -
a feed of whiting for the wife
my pb's on flathead and squire
mates pb on flathead
and another convert to the dark side.

Gee mate, your getting this river sussed .sounds like a great day with a few new achievements. I think the squire have been a little slow and you do have to work hard for them but then again they may just explode and you wont know what hit you. Congrads fellas well done

Mate you're not a convert to the dark side unless you've got a plastic boat.:P

The good thing about the river is you never know what is sitting in that snag. Ihave throwin plastics over the past week and get busted off with only one quiet touch and i have lost all my gear and rerig and same thing. I think it must be a tailor but i hope it is a large jack. If my boat had some of the fish that goes off on my sounder i would be a happy man.Good luck on the plastics and have fun.cheers.

Callop- congrats on the PB, no better feeling hugh, except everytime you up your PB it makes it harder to do it again.

DDobson-Yep, theres a few biggens in the river and their collections of hooks, jigheads and lures just keep getting bigger.

ddobson... I've sight cast those jacks at the front wall and seen them dissapear into the rock wall before i even realised i was on. Left me feeling a lesser being than Homer Simpson ;D There is some big suckers there . This season its on. I've got a nice little stump pulling baitcaster outfit, Garrett set me up with. Who'd ever believe we'd have so many options in the Brissie river
