PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 Logan River last thursday
Finished work early thursday and was going to the Pin area for a few muddies but wind was forecast for 20/25 knts so ended up going to bottom end of logan river to drop pots with a couple of work mates and a quick fish. Was on the water by 3 pm and pots in by 4 pm. Low tide was 5.30 pm at Brisbane bar. I think the tide started to turn around 7.30 pm but have not fished Logan that much so not sure of tide lapse from change at the Brisbane Bar. Mullet and chook frames used.
Then went for some bait. Pumped some yabbies on a bank. Some nice big ones. Threw the cast net for ages with only a diver whiting to show. Heaps of small bream and a tailor but I was after a few mullet. Just as I was pulling up to fish a few snags on a corner of a deep chanel, I saw a few flicks on the water surface that looked like sardines. Had a cast and filled the net with them. Anchored up and then went on to catch and eel, heaps of catfish (next crab pot bait) and a dozen rays.
Had two good runs on the change of the tide. The live diver whiting I hooked through the back towards the head. Had a run and when retrieved, it had a bite mark taken out in the middle. Not mauled like a jack, a nice clean bite. So then threw out a live sard with the hook in the back towards the middle. Had another run about 15 mins later and the head was bitten off with another clean bite mark. Small Jew? All the sards were dead by now so no more live baits. Called it a night around 9 pm and picked up the pots. 2 nice keeper muddies, about half dozen bucks about 1 cm short, about the same number of huge jennies and the rest were well under bucks and jennies. Heaps of crabs for the short time, about 5/6 per pot, but only the 2 keepers. When leaving a few other guys were dropping pots. For the high at midnight I suppose. I counted about 10 pots in about 100 metres of river. Wind dropped off when heading back to ramp so ride home was good. Kept busy all night and turned out to be quite nice with the near full moon rising and a bit of wind to keep the sandflies and mozzies down.
Good to hear you picked up a couple of legal muddies. I know what it's like to crab the Logan and to have to the sort the "just unders" from the legals.
Cheers
