Aerial display in Noosa River

[ffejsmada]

Went for an afternoon fish today with GT's the target.
Started off trolling a tiny Smith Lil' mate and it got smashed, wrapped around a pylon.............lure gone! They look the goods these tiny fellas, gotta get myself more of those babies!
Started throwing the placcy, got a couple of hits but things were quiet, so a change of venue was in order.
Got to another of my haunts, first cast, I was on! After a solid little fight a GT of 50cm hits the deck! Slice the throat, into the kill tank. I love eating GT's!:P

Pulled a few small bigeye and another smaller GT, then something else decided it wanted to eat my plastic! This fight was different, then the line arced up to the surface and this thing jumped everywhere!!!! Queenie, and not a bad one for the river, the thing wouldn't stop jumping, it was great!! I just hoped it didn't throw the hook. After a solid fight it hit the net, at 60cm, I was happy with that.

All fish caught on 4lb braid, 12lb leader, all fish released bar 1 GT for tucker.

Cheers Jeff.

you bugger, i wish i was there

[Tewantin]

I'm only new to the area and have bagged heaps of bream in the river over the last few months. Aside from getting spooled by a fast moving submarine last friday, I haven't been able to catch anything else. I obviously need to start throwing a few lures around. Seeing fish like you're holding makes me very happy I've made the move north. Well done.

[Creek Vermin]

Nice work jeff. Good little queenie and right on time after we were just talkin bout them. The lil mates can be a bit tough to find. I normally just get em from brads shop at currumbin when I'm down there. Might be able to order them in though. Cheers.

good fish jeff. u wanna be carful that left nacker doesnt pop out in those down low photos. cheers nick

Then he'd have to change his name to 'Nuclear Pants'...suffers from fallout.

Great stuff Jeff, I see that invironet in the background , I just bought one, hate it. It's like a parachute in the water , it doesn't want to move, whata U think?

Mate that one is an Environet copy, it's a piece of crap!!!
Very had to push through the water, I'm getting rid of it. Your lures get caught in the mesh also, hate the thing.

I'm buying one of those rubber mesh nets, they're heaps better although a little heavier.

Jeff.

So Is mine, is the "Original" or real thing any better. If anybody wants mine $10 it yours, it's a great net !

Those rubber mesh nets are the best....Never get trebles stuck in them.

Heaps better than Enviro's I reckon.

[T H I R S T Y]

nice queenie there mate, your lucky i wasnt there this time.

[ffejsmada]

Thanks Benny, the river's been fishing ok of late.
Thirsty, I missed you throwing a lure over my line whilst connected.............not!;D
LOL

Jeff.

[Creek Vermin]

Thats prob the best pic I've got of one at the moment.

[richieboy]

Nice stuff Jeff. A mate of mine up here also swears by the Trves. Loves em he does. Golden's are his fav.
Some nice trevs there and considering 12lb used is a top effort. I remember landing one in the seaway on 4lb fishin with Nick and that took long enough for me, especially in deep water.
Up here, it's nuthin under 30lb champ. Cheers,

Richie ;)

[cultiva_king01]
