clontarf / pine 17/9

[kingcray]

they were tough to find but after trying about 7 or 8 spots over probably 4 hours ended up with another nice feed of tings and 1 sandy to start the crabbin season.

Pots were soaking for about 5 hours for just the one male and a half dozen girls.
Plenty of that blankety weed all over the pots when i pulled em in.

Caught most of the whiting drifting the sand flats towards the bridges, along with a few undersize flatties. Biggest were around the 35cm. Also noticed quite a bit more of that snot weed around today which is a pain.

Sure beats the hell outta workin. best part is im back there tomorrow with the old boy then out to Mud on wednesday! ;D;D

The kids had some fun too when i tried to clean up.

Cheers

[yanjarra]

slayed them again kingcray...hopefully the weather holds off for you the next cpl of days or the little ones mightn't be the only ones with a wet arse if the forecast is anything to go by.

[Lapras]

Very jealous.

I had been looking forward to seeing your report after you posted you would go out. I was very tempted to go myself today but I have a short week at work and had to sacrifice the fishing.

Was the sandy from the Pine, or out further?

[kingcray]

dave, crabs were from woody pt. Im taking the pots up the pine with me today.
Might need to pack an umbrella.

Nice work Kingcray. I was out there too yesterday having a first look for the summer for some bream and flathead. Didn't find a single flathead but managed 9 bream (kept 6) and a solid summer whiting (on a 1/0 hook!).

[Seahorse]

All good dean. I will only take a few crabs. I will leave u some. I will only check them once lol
Good luck
Cheers

[brock13]

Nice effort mate. Cant wait to get back to redcliffe and smash a session.

[Goodoo haven]

I bet they are all waiting in the tree tops watching to see you leave and come home from all your successful outing when fishing.

[Chas & Clarry]

Great to see the whiting Dean. Trace loves whiting fishing and we haven't targeted them for ages so I suspect that a whiting expedition may be on the cards once we finally get back on the water (hopefully no more than 2 weeks away).

Funny to see so many maggies in one place I don't think of them as being flock type birds....more your individual family type.

Thanks for the reports!

Tim and Trace

[kingcray]

tim , trace, get out there when you can they will be around the river for a few months at least.
There were no magpies when i sat down turned around 5 mins later they were everywhere. i hand fed them all the roes

[fisho8]

Nice feed of whiting there Deano well done mate I will have to get out there and have a crack I think I have not fished this end for a while now.
