Jumpin Catfish at the Bohle

[Fisher4life]

headed out early thismorning for a play/exploring trip down the bohle, headed straight down the mouth of the bohle and anchored and dropped a few baits while flicked some lures, not too much excitment other then a barra coming up from the depth to have a look at my floating bomber, gave it a small twitch and it seemed to excite him, as he came up slowly to strike, the nerves got the better of me and i had to twitch the lure again, which pulled it a little too far in front of him. With the water temp only 20degrees, i don't think he had the energy to chase it and he slowly made his way back to the depths...

ANyway, very little action was had, only managed to catch a small jack and a small cod, although was able to get a very nice sandy.

On our way back to the ramp, a large (over a meter) fish (looked like a catfish, possible small shark) came spiraling out of the water and jumped well over a meter high. We were both shoked with amazement... i'v never seen anything like it before, anyone else seen anything like it??

i have had something similar happen to me in the noosa river. i was driving along at about 20knots and about 5 metres to the right of the boat a fish/shark about a metre long jumped out about a mtere high too.

it was a darkish colour, some people said it would of been a mako shark but i would have no idea, it still stumps me.

threadfin salmon perhaps? i've seen some bull sharks jump around a bit, could've been one

Seen a few brissie river sharks come out of the water chasing mullet. To cool as long as they don't end up in my boat I'm happy

yeah the back of the fish was too bronze/browny grey to be a thread fin salmon....

would of been a shark i have seen them jump around alot for no reason just jumping and when you hook them they seem to put on a show to.
