Brissie river thursday arvo

[chief]

Haven't had a chance to fish since the ZZZ day, Last weekend was a blur and today I think I was getting a bit cranky (Withdrawls) .Had an early day and flew home and dropped the boat in . Met with a bloody westerly blowing straight down the river. I was dirty there goes my idea for a nice litle squire session. Tucked into a few nocks and came up with a little 37 cm cod who went ok on the light gear. Tossed a few plastics around on the new 2-4 strudie sic stick pro with the extended butt and came tight on 3 squire. A 34 and a 35 cm that were quickly released to grow a bit bigger but the third fish gave me a bit of stick and up popped a 49 cm model so i was starting to feel a bit more relaxed8-) 8-) Took him home for the wife. Had to home by 4 so I pulled the pin. At least i got a quick fix and I'm smilen now;D ;D Cheers

[duncan mcwhirter]

well done mate. You will have to show me where to find those lovely pinkies

[NAGG]

shocking when you start getting an itch ........ always better off scratching it - Well done chief

Chris

[stessco]

nice squire and fix, going to chase them on monday

[Blacksheep]

Wel done Chief!
I've heard a fair few good reports about squire in the river this week, and also around Mud. Might be a much better season this year.

[chief]

Naggs, I was getting really itchy ;D

Blacksheep... mates have been pulling a few in the river . It can only keep getting better

[SummerTrance]

Nice one chief, 49 would have got some zzzzzzz happening

[Poodroo]

Chief you are one of the most consistent fishermen on this site and you always seem to come home with a feed. Thanks for making me envious. I will be taking the daughter (the famous Film Crew) out with me on Saturday. Have not decided where I will go as yet but I will be on the water. Hopefully I can mimic your fishing expertise and come home with a feed as well.

Top work Chief. Little bro is in the comp this weekend.
Will be trying to get a silver version....

[Callop]

Hi mate, good one as usual. Those r2s hb's will catch just about anything. Did you get the snap on a TB?

[huskii]

hi paul, nothing like a early mark from work for a quick fish. Well done on getting a feed.Wasn't tonight a killer on the legs, anyway good luck on the weekend i'm sure u will add some more prizes to your collection.

[chief]

Stessco.. Good luck with that trip mate

Summertrance...Really happy with the little rod to, loaded up with some good smooth hurt for a light stick.

Poodroo...Thanks for your kind words mate, you amd me are very similar, we just love being on the water. Fish are just a bonus mate.

Uglyfish.... You got the benchmark there mate, once those river squire hit 60 cm and over they just seem to go up a notch when it comes to the fight and don't those buggers know where the pylons are ;D

Tailorboi99... Hey Tom as soon as the qualities is consistantly up , I'll give you a PM and we'll do a session and see if we can score a couple of good ones. Every week is looking better mate ;D

[T1]

Good work again CHIEF!

From all the reports i'm hearing (& seeing :-X ), looks like the Bay is going to be a cracker this season! A good mate scored an 89cm - 7.3kg on Tuesday in the bay (i'm in an appt with clients and i get a pic and details via SMS - very thoughtful!!). Now i have to find some time to get out there for a serious crack again... ;D

Take Care T

[chief]

Callop, yeh mate . Time to chase a few snappery squire ;D gee it was ordinary tosarf mate with that wind .

Huskii.. Bloody hell mate, I've never done so many squats before. I should have stayed fishin and not turned up ;D. No joking, Mike does a great job cheers

[RAT-KING]

Great stuff Chief, produced the goods once again!!!
Pulling in 3 squire in b4 4 thats an awesome session!!!

[nuggstar]

not bad buddie. id love to get stuck in to a mob of squire like that

[Horse]

Thats a nice way to start the season off Chief. Its looking like a good one. It sounds like a pretty good session and certainly scratched your itch

[JJT]

nice chief
good to see the snaps still in the river looks like it could be a gud season in the river ay
top notch lad

[chief]

JJT.... those squire /snapper are there . they just seem to hold pretty deep in that structure and make it impossible to pull them out. As this water temp keeps dropping they start feeding farther from those areas and the fun begins and you can have a very productive time 30 meters from the wharf ;D

[uglyfish]

yeah water getting cooler can only get better now...i got some bloody good ones in summer as well..cheif i dont fish round the wharfs.oh yeah just quickly there were some yuna bussting up at the mouth yesterday mid morning couldnt get on to one and they didnt stay long as some twit came roaring over and spooked the lot

[uglyfish]

chief might have to organise some thing one day,i need educating with the bloody lures,still not convinced about em

[Scalem]

Well done again Chief.

If the need to go for a fish was an "itch" then I would have scratched to the point of bleeding - can't get out again this weekend and work is full on during the week:2vrolijk_08:

Enjoying your posts in the meantime Chief, keep up the good work!

Thanks mate :)

[Mossy247]

Nice work chief, did good on the light gear still haven't got myself some of the r2s yet in the top secret colours :-p but will soon since the water is dropping and I really need to drop the old alleycraft in the water... Seem to do good on the Squire's any paricular HB or SP's?

[chief]

Uglyfish, when I wrote that last BnB art. I mentioned to keep your eyes open we might see a return of last years run of mac tuna. 3 days after it had to be submitted, I saw my first bust up of small jelly beans. Only small and a quick bit of surface action. Any size to the fish you saw mate? Hey mate I'm giving the bream a miss for a few months and giving the squire a hit. we might have a squire sesh?

Scalem...Your just saving yourself for R2M and you'll come out scratching ;D

[Obi _ Wan]

Good stuff Chief, great report mate, say that bloody wind cuts right through you when it comes from that direction.

Yeah i have the salt itch too, been about 3 weeks, busting to get out again soon to temp the snaps.

Good storey in "BNB" mate well done, also got to get a Brisbane River Threadie, have only ever caught them up North.

Thanks Again
Cheers,
John.
