Brissie river sat arvo

[chief]

Just getting over a flu that had me in bed for 3 days so Saturday I went for a session solo on the river. I hear its been pretty quiet and it was pretty tough going. I did manage 4 squire but there were no size to them, all were under 33 cms. I fished plastics around wharves in the 13 - 15 m mark for nothing , so I went to the shallows at the edges and picked up the little ones there .;D Couldn't even find one that would stretch over 35. Threw a few HBs around the clearer water and couldn't raise a bream . As the water temps has dropped they've certainly given smacking the cranks a miss. Plastics were the go. I was dead sticking them and letting them drift with the current with the occasional twitch and the bream were picking them up and swimming up current . A lot of the times you could see the line go slack and begin to bow and you could tell the bream had mouthed the plastic. It was a case of winding in the slack and trying to set the hooks . I dropped a lot of fish but scored a good dozen but they were better quality fish with a few around 33 with the biggest going 36 cm. Hope I can find a few squire soon:-[

Bennykenny.. I find they start to wind down in the river as places like The pin and Coloundra start fireing.

Nico.d.r ... Cheers mate , good to hear another finding fish similar in their reactions. Are you fishing hidden weights mate?

Fish gutz... Hope your right mate, probably won't get a chance to fish until next week end tho. I'm putting my money on the tuesday another week later on the 23rd. The river squire will bite their heads off ;D
