Noosa amongst the tourist madness

[Pistol_P]

Noosa is outrageously busy at the moment but I have been managing a few trevors here and there on the surface.
The boat traffic has hit an all time high over the last few days so I have been venturing down the mozzie hang outs and seeing whats on offer.
No many Jacks for me.....but found some toothy critters which I have had some fun with.
They really pull hard on lightish gear....Caught two on Friday and one had an interesting battle scar on him....???....Maybe some bigger ones lurking.

That's why there's no Jacks in there Pete, bloody sharks!
That scar could be prop damage?
I'm sure I've seen some of those photos before!:-X

You must have infinite patience to be fishing that river at the moment Pete. The holiday crowds kill my enjoyment. You've earned those fish twice over.

Some good fish there, but how dirty is that little GT!? been living in the mud or something.

Yeah thats why I shot off a picture.....He was a really dark little one.
May have been way up river somehwere..???

That might not be a GT.
I remember seeing one like that before but I can't remember what it was.
Certainly looks like a GT, but I have a tiny bit of doubt that it could be something else.
This one was from way up river, he's a goldy colour, yours doesn't look like an upstream fish Pete.54707

A Black GT, I know they get them on the West Coast

Well spotted. I reckon it might be a blue spot trevally. I have caught a few up Bundy way. Big scutes along the tail.

hi pistol p great post and great photos too! it sounds like the waterways are being used to the capacity on the holiday season?? with boat regos increasing it will only get busier, thanks jim

[ffejsmada]

Definitely not a Black Trevally.
This is a Black Trevally we got at Wreck Reef.

[DEANO68]

good stuff pete.. hard to keep away from the crowds this time of year...

[Jeremy]

here is a blue spot trevally. Maybe not as similar as I thought.

[stessco]

great top water session, do you have bream top water spots in the noosa?

[Pistol_P]

Early morning around the floating restaurant and around harbour town.

Gotta be really early at the moment...4am stuff.

Plenty in Noosa Waters canals also.

Pete

[ffejsmada]

You're better off fishing the flats up Weyba Creek.
I got a few on popper whilst chasing whiting a few weeks back.
Not bad bream either. Much, much less traffic up there as well.

Jeff.

Good stuff Pete...mate crowds are everywhere. Had a throw in the upper reaches of the Evans Head river the other day. 6 tinnies crabbing in a creek lucky to be 50m across makes the fishing really tough.............got me beat how the crabs persist in this creek
