Great catch there lippa. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
Noosa sure is a great place to get into some good fish. ;)

I was there in february and at about 5:30 every afternoon where would be a huge movement of bats. This would go on for about 30 mins and was quite a sight.

Got to agree with the gulp 3" minnows in pumpkinseed. They are what I got my first few fish on SP's. :D

Cheers

Good work. I actually travelled up to Noosa for the long weekend aswell.

Scored a few flathead around the flats at the mouth on 4" turtlebacks in the red/black colour. Got a small trevor and cod on a 3" atomic shad in the real shad colour.

Great weather and a great weekend.

Cheers.

Marcel.

Nice work Lippa,

I love Noosa, my mate from Mel has a house that looks straight onto Woods bay!

There is always Trevors around that area, try the Chug Bug poppers, you can buy them at Ed's Hooked on Angling and Outdoors, he's a champ, been fishing with him a few times now and has me fully in the no how when I'm up in Noosa!

Weyba creek is a great spot and know what you mean about those Bats, I think thats a great name for the place, Gotham Banks.....plenty of Flattys up there and Jacks too! I lost a good one up there last year on a Bomber! If you are after Jacks try on front of the Restaurant in Woods Bay at night, my mate's caught plenty drifting live baits in front of those lights.

Gotta love the E Cod, they are great fun and to good looking to KILL!

Have a good one mate, cheers Barnesy

Nice one Lippa, passing on the good info too, that's the way mate, sounds like an awesome weekend. :)

[mjc85]

Hey mate sounds like you did well, i live in noosa and love it, i havn't been fishing for a while as i'm waiting on my new boat to be completed. When you said you hooked a metre long gar, i am pretty sure it would've been a long tom as they commonly frequent around weyba creek and i don't think the normal river gar get to a metre long. Interesting that you saw a jack crusing about, was it in the day and where abouts ?

[blue-mako]

goin up to noosa on sunday this weekend hopefuly can pick up a few fish ther... woods bay will remember

cheers, troy

[lippa]

when ya head up weyba and go past the last of the houses on your right ya take the sharp left to continue up. on the opposing bank ther is what looks to be a creek but it opens up into a shallow banky type area and flows back into weyba. the jack was close to the mangrove s in about a foot of water. thats also wher the gar was, snub nose orange beak. spoke to ed at the tackle shop about it and he said he'd seen some monsters up ther too. a meter was probably a bit of an ecsagaration, but it would of been at least 750mm. blue mako- dawn and dusk mate. speak with ed at the tackle shop there at tewANTI AND GET SOME "CHUG BUGS" POpers. what ed don't know about fishing in noosa, you could write on the back of a match box!!! Cheers canoedle, just remember, you started me, its your fault!!!! the missus hates ya!! ;D ;D ;D. for me spending so much money on plackys and rods and gear for it!!!!

[lippa]

blue mako, also try the catamaran thats near the entrance to the frying pan noosa side ther is an island try around the gutters there too! this is where the taailor were caught

[mat_anderson04]
