Brissie river sun 27 th

[chief]

Been doing a few river missions this week. Went out wednesday arvo by myself and scored a couple of squire ,43 and 44 cm models but what a cracker of an arvo before that rain set in. Myself and garrett had another session this morning with a few squire in mind. Heaps of squire in the river at the moment and willing to play but we couldn't find any decent models. A lot of fish were spot on 35 cm and returned but we did manage 7 from 37 -42 cm so we achieved a decent feed. Pulled the pin on the squire and we thought we'd see if there were any tuna in the river. Two schools were active with about eight boats hanging around between the 2. They certainly weren't spooked with them feeding in many occassions a few feet from our boat. We cast slugs of various sizes, Plastics of different weights and colours ,sizes, but couldn't manage a hook up Anyway it was still a great day and a lot of fun with the squire caught on bream gear Cheers

Well done chief. Getting a feed is better than coming home empty handed. Yesterday was a good day to be on the water as well. It seems the squire and snapper are a bit more willing to play the game compared to recent weeks.

Hey Nico , those macs didn't want to play. Hey mate a nice threadie tho. I was nearly going to throw the cast net in today and do the same with a livie.Might still give it a go one arvo this week.

[Nico.d.R]

yeah i reckon i hit a few in the head (macks) but could not get any hook ups or even hits .
good luck with your thready hunt if you go .

cheers nico

Nico, we used little micro small slugs up to 35-40 grm and plastics from 2 inch to 7 inch neon peppers. they weren't feeding and covering heaps of ground ,Just slowly working against the tide. I couldn't count the number of times I thought we would have came tight on a fish ,to not even get a touch. I wish I would have had the TSS4 with me for a bit of speed instead of the smaller reels.

G'day chief

Top sessions mate. You've picked up some fine fish there.

How deep in the water column were you finding them? The few we caught at Mud were right on the bottom.

Interesting that there's plenty of smaller models hanging around the river. Mud has either been bigger fish or just dead quiet. Usually dead quiet, for me anyway.

Cheers
Brad

Hey Brad, on the bottom but in open water,well out from the wharves. Funny as the water gets cold ,they feed freely in those open areas but come summer and the water temps up, they'll be held up deep in the pylons....WHY? Bait ? or Bullsharks is certainly worth a thought when talking the river

[tailorboi99]

Awesome fish there mate, you must love those snaps

[RAT-KING]

Nice catch Chief - Those mac's arn't put off as easily as the schools out in the bay, a couple of weeks ago I saw some busting up for 5 mins around a tug that was birthing a ship, didn't spook them at all.
Did anyone at all down there hook up to a mac that day?????
I've got an RDO Tue so I might check it out if it's not too windy.
