Nerang River - Bream, PB Flathead, Whiting, Stingrays, Toadfish.............

[Gold_Coast_Chaser]

Hey Guys,

Finished school today at about 11 because of exam block and got out on the Nerang River at about 12ish, got to our spot in 2 minutes and then one of my best days fishing started.

Using mainly prawns as bait as i went out with my dad the bream were coming in slowly then i picked up a PB flathead of 62cm which was kept for a BBQ on sunday.

Over the following 3 hours we picked up about 20 bream ranging from just legal to 35cm, 2 cm of my PB, 3 stingrays which had our hopes up, 2 good size whiting and about 5 toadfish.

It was a great trip after school that lasted about 4 hours before they started to drop off the bite.

Hey,

Yeh that was a really good session, its just a spot we have found, there are so many fish there, we have been there like the last 6 times weve been out and have got over 10 Legals each time. That is also the second 60+ cm flathead we have got from in there.

With the toads we just Get the pliers and get em off and chuk em back, they seemed to come in a school and then leave?? donno what happened.

There were a few good bream in that bag aswell, i think 3 went over the 30cm mark and biggest was 35.

I am goin out tomorrow afternoon with a mate and then also sunday morning using lures. I wanna see if i can get close to matching that performance. I think i need to practice a bit more though.

Once you find a spot were theres fish it seems to be easy

well done mate. thats a good haul

I had a good sesh today too, but in the coomera. We picked up a gazillion flathead, a cod, whiting, flounder and bream. All caught on TT switchblades except for the whiting on popper.

All i can say is thats a decent session and thats one fat whiting in the bottom corner

Hey Barrakid,

Those whiting were quite long aswell they were both about 27-28cm mark and yes they were very fat. The only reason we caught the whiting was we were in our bream spot for about 2 hours using prawns, then we ran out and the only thing we had left was sand worms so we chucked em on and there you go 2 decent whiting.

Its a very productive spot.
