Brissy River Saturdays

[Mossy247]

Got to the boat ramp at about 5ish launched the boat after seven weeks without a boat trip I was keen to make up for the last effort of fouling my plugs and a no start.

So headed off to the usual haunt and drifted a few times and it was a little quiet, my mate gets himself on to a nice flathead just under 50cm, thinking to myself I need a fish. Not a touch for a while so I head off to look in another spot.

Drifted the rockwall and was starting to look good, a few well placed casts and my plastic is smashed not far from the surface as the water breaks and the line screams..... I am on to what i thought was a nice squire but closer to the boat she's all silver this is a nice bream, abit of play on 4lb and she is on the boat @ 39cm from tip to mouth.

Not long after a few more drifts and bang the line is smashed, not as much shake but plenty of weight, a steady reel in and its a nice EC @ 32cm. A few more casts and I raise another EC @ 38cm's. One more close to the rockwall and bam I am hit and it screams off I try to slow it down but it has taken me into the rocks, move the boat over trying to coax the fish out but no I am rubbed off on the rocks. Oh well....

A few more drifts as we are getting excited and my mate gets another flatty @ 42cm, I get a few more hits and loose some plastics to the rocks. My mate gets another flatty and this one is abit bigger I,d say around the 55+ we both are like crap.. 8lb leader LoL, she shakes her head and gone..... Few more casts and no touches, call it a day and home by 10am. Sorry for the ramble its been soooooo long.

That's a cracking breambo mossy, top effort!

[Mossy247]

Couldn't be happier, I nearly forgot what it felt like to land a nice bream. Was all on the 3" grubs fished right up to the rocks. Great morning on the river :-)

Good on ya mate, nice mixed bag. Good to get out before a bit of rain, it can get the fish on the bite before the water gets dirty and feeding gets that little bit harder for them. Nice effort

[Mossy247]

chief, thanks
Its such a great place to fish for me, so much variety. Do you tend to find that the river fishes abit better before a rain?
cheers.

Yeh we've had a few Hot cracker sessions and within 24 hrs there;s been a big wet and flooding. they would have to sense that the change about to happen. I supose to them it means increased current ,fresh water and poor visibilty and maybe a little harder to feed for a while so they take the opportunity when they can???
