Quiet on the river front

[chief]

Had a limited session on the river this morning and just had one of those days where things just go wrong. A few bunches of grapes in the line, you know the stuff that just gives you the $%^&%.The young bloke had to work so time is precious when you have that deadline. Only managed 2 squire at 37 cm and a bream at 33 cm . Fished a few livies but couldn't entice any of the larger predators but a young bloke in a tinnie fishing not far from us did manage to tassle with a good jew only to loose it at the side of the boat Overall it was pretty quiet except for a school of mac tuna . We were heading back past the dredge when we could see the birds on fish. Turned out to be mac tuna 3 - 4 kg mark, a few hundred meters off the wharves. Ships, tugs ,moreton barge and ferries and boats entering and leaving the river and we were in between stalking a school of tuna. Dam ,would have loved to hooked one . With the river supplying a few different captures it would have been nice to claim a brissie river Mac tuna. Not our day,and finally Garrett rushing to get ready for work drops a 2 litre coke bottle that explodes over the kitchen wall and cupboards Gee glad his mum is shopping Next time Cheers

I love your posts Chief. An adventure in every one.

That was still an outcome (the fish that is, not the exploding Coke) that a lot of mug fishos would be pleased with.

Ah well, the week will seem complete for you now.

A good read Chief, Mate theres always a next time to get into those squire again.
I Favour the quater and new moons during the daylight hours but Full moon seems to fish better at night in my opinion.
Never bagged out on the squire a couple of days either side of the full moon.
What moon cycle do you prefer?
Cheers Brent

Unlucky on the fish front looked liked a lot of boats heading out this morning, the river has been producing some good variety as of late. Work down on the river so get to see quite a bit. Goggles

Nice report Chief. I reckon it was a bit quiet in genaral this weekend. I had an ordinary 2nd day at the minibucks only weighing 3 fish for a megre totalk of 0.92kg. Finished outside the top 20.
Did win our heat on Day 1 with 5 fish weighed. Hinterland came 2nd though so we got some reward! Thanx again to Garret. Be in touch mate. (The rig is ordered.)
