Onya Kev, you gotta be happy with a good feed of grunter, well done !!
What reel are you using on your surf rod mate ?
Cheers !!!
Hit Crystal Creek this morning at 5:30 am...............took 3 rods with one being a surf rod. I have been there 3 times now and have sometimes watched action happening on the opposite bank in frustration because I cant get my baits there.
This morning I could get my baits in deep and almost to the other side of the creek. Used whole dead green back herring .This resulted in me bringing home 4 Grunter between 40 and 45cm each.
Happy with that but that bastard MANGROVE JACK still evades me. One day I will get a legal Jack.
Happy days and finally fresh fish for Dinner

Well done mate! How wide is that creek you are fishing in?
Cheers Tom
The creek is probably 50m wide. I was using a big 8000 surf reel with 25lb line on.
Nice feed and wish I could do it agin today were it not for work.
Nice width to the creek, the ones near my house a extremely slim at around 5-10m in widths.
Cheers Tom
Onya Kev!
Top tucker, those grunter.
Cheers,
Brian.
good one kev!
i have heard that the grunter are starting their run along the coast!
might have to get out for a few night fishes & get some BIG ones, got to check these new marks out i reckon that they will be top grunter marks.
i"ll agree with brian "top tucker" they are my favourite eating fish, fish around 4-6kg put up a very hard fight.

A bigger tide might bring along bigger grunter..............just not all that keen using very heavy sinkers because a 2mt tide difference comes with a big run. Anyway no run no fun. Over 3 mt high also means that finding a place to fish from is also difficult. I don't want to stand in the water and fish.....................too many leather handbags
"Leather handbags" love it
