Met up with TimD at 4am for a new spots discovery mission and headed out of the boat passage to a flat calm river. Sounded out a possible Thready spot from Dogsbody but with no bait showing we motored on and after both of us commenting about an exposed rockbar with fish showing we found a new spot. First drop and Tim is on to something, pops it head up and a Jew of about 50cm shakes his newly acquired Transam loose ... "oh well at least there are fish here" he comments. Wanting to join the action I scout the tackle box and find a couple of Mask Vib's and on the first drop I feel a heavy thud of a Cod which went pretty hard on Bream gear, we slide the net under him and dispatch him in the esky. Tim then gets a nice Tailor, a Bream & a Stonefish and I score a small Flatty. We dropped a couple of good fish each there and donated $50 to the rockbar once the tide moved up. Rather than going broke we decided to have a look out the front of the wall but the action was very dull so headed over to Mud for a looksy ... not much showing on the sounder and what looked like a car park over the back we threw poppers for Bream & GT's but it just wasn't happening. Heading back up river to a couple of regular spots the water quality looked pretty bad so we snuck into Bulimba creek for some sight fishing for Bream, we had many attacks from the cranky locals but failed to hook up a single fish. Altogether a good day out and always good to find new areas to fish. It's funny that a stone fish has a face that only a mother could love!!!!
