There's fish in the river

[pyro_104]

Nothing like a quick spot of fishing straight after work - picked up these two little fellas land based in the Brisbane river on soft plastics.

They're both back in there for someone else to catch btw ;)

nice catch pyro where abouts in the brissy river - how big was that bream?

[pyro_104]

Not sure how big they were - I was more focussed on getting them back into the water quickly, but I'm 6' 2" and the fork of the tail is below my knee - so a good 35+ cm. Nice and fat, bluish lips, reckon it had been feeding on shell fish.

It was at Cameron's Rocks. Caught those two just before sunset, within about 20 minutes, then nothing else for the rest of the evening (and nothing for my brother, or it appears for the other guy fishing near by).

Reckon I'll work a bit more on my catch and release techniques in the future - these fish swam away happy as larry, but hanging a big bream by it's lip and lying a flatty on a rock isn't the best of form...
