Logan River 14/3

[Jack_Hunter]

Hey everyone, this is my first post so you'll have to take it easy on me.

Fished the Logan River on Tuesday. Got to Carbrook ramp at around 6am and after some outboard trouble was finally fishing by 7. River was still quite dirty from the recent rain, and only towards the mouth at high tide was there relatively clean water. This was resembled by the catch, as alot of catfish and river perch were taken. After fishing all the usual spots until about 1pm only came home with one bream, 3 larger river perch and one flathead (63cm).

I caught the flathead on good old fresh logan river prawns obtained straight from the trawler. seems to be the best bait for everything in the river.

An interesting note was that inside the flathead's stomach was 3 small catfish about 6 cm long. Maybe this is a clue for the new superbait.

We generally fish the logan on a fairly regular basis, but i think it needs a break from the rain and needs to really clear up for a while before the fishing will come good
