Aerial display in Noosa River

[ffejsmada]

Went for an afternoon fish today with GT's the target.
Started off trolling a tiny Smith Lil' mate and it got smashed, wrapped around a pylon.............lure gone! They look the goods these tiny fellas, gotta get myself more of those babies!
Started throwing the placcy, got a couple of hits but things were quiet, so a change of venue was in order.
Got to another of my haunts, first cast, I was on! After a solid little fight a GT of 50cm hits the deck! Slice the throat, into the kill tank. I love eating GT's!

Pulled a few small bigeye and another smaller GT, then something else decided it wanted to eat my plastic! This fight was different, then the line arced up to the surface and this thing jumped everywhere!!!! Queenie, and not a bad one for the river, the thing wouldn't stop jumping, it was great!! I just hoped it didn't throw the hook. After a solid fight it hit the net, at 60cm, I was happy with that.

All fish caught on 4lb braid, 12lb leader, all fish released bar 1 GT for tucker.

Cheers Jeff.

I'm only new to the area and have bagged heaps of bream in the river over the last few months. Aside from getting spooled by a fast moving submarine last friday, I haven't been able to catch anything else. I obviously need to start throwing a few lures around. Seeing fish like you're holding makes me very happy I've made the move north. Well done.

Nice work jeff. Good little queenie and right on time after we were just talkin bout them. The lil mates can be a bit tough to find. I normally just get em from brads shop at currumbin when I'm down there. Might be able to order them in though. Cheers.
