Spend few weeks past on research and enquires through ausfish’s forum and received well feed backs and thank you.
I selected Morris creek for fishing day with my old fishing buddy Raymond.
Woke up early morning to check the world cup match Aussie vs Croatia and score was 0-1 left home and met Raymond at service station on the highway for a cup of coffee watched TV for while and score was Croatia 2-1 at 74 minutes I thought Aussie won’t any chance to get draw or win and left station to the boat ramp.
When we start boating along so thick mangrove tree and I breathe ahh…
This was real scenery and I love to see and fishing on the rich eco creek.
Dropped 2 crab pots and went to mouth of creek first fish caught was under size grunter.
Gave a go on trolling lure along bank for half hour and nothing strike.
I realized different fishing technical compare to Great southeast and Townsville on different tide type. There were a big tide and pretty strong current is not suitable for fishing but excellent for crabbing. We waited till low tide then non-stop with under size estuary cods and I got a fortunately on big buck caught on my fishing hook made my day worth. Put up crab pots and scored another buck.
Back to home and found out Aussie tie Croatia must be good day for fishing and Aussie.

Well done Silent. Good to see you enjoyed the scenery up there. Suprised you didn't get more fish. Did you try live-baiting?

It was difficult to collect lives at high tide and I wish I brought my own mono cast net. I used his old cast net and does not work well and gave up.

Hi Aaron,

barra not sure if they are in mood to bite during winter season if you caught barra there and you must be so lucky.
