Been a while I know :-D
Got caught up in the storms at Maroochydore yesterday so didn’t get out for a fish. I did get an opportunity today however. Loaded up the yak and hit the passage at around 10am. There was a bit of an easterly blowing and the tide was just at the top and beginning to turn. I decided to get right in tight to the mangroves flicking a 3 inch gulp minnow around on a 1/12th oz jighead. I also had a sleeper out the back rigged weedless. It had a 4 inch Zman culr tail in pearl. I had loaded up the belly with S Factor hoping to drift by a big mumma and score a nice flatty.
1st fish in the yak was a bream, gave a good little fight too for his size :-D There followed a steady stream of flattys on the gulps. The Zman never got another touch. I ended up pulling 7 flattys over the side of the yak in the next few hours. All caught in tight to the mangroves. Best on went around 50cm and he came home for dinner. All the rest were released. I did miss quite a few fish. Seemed they were not taking the placcie in their mouth as quickly as usual. I found myself slowly counting to 5 after feeling the first tap. This seemed to improve my hook up ratio.
Was nice to be out on the water again and actually landing a few.

And its even better Tony to see that you have managed to get up from your bbq area and come inside to your computer, after such a feast.Originally Posted by Back In Black
Or did someone bring an Ipad out to you?
Pauly
No Pauly, I actually made my way to the office.
I had to leave the bbq area as its getting wet!! I'm in the nursery industry, & we have been missing all the storms. We got 5mm yesterday, which is the best rain we have had, but we are getting some nice gentle rain now, probably 15mm so far. I use over 100,000 litres a day, so I am desperate. If we don't get rain the next day or so, I'm off to see my neighbour to see if I can pinch some water.
I can't even begin to tell you how good that fish was Pauly. Now Banana has spoiled me regarding great fishing, & now I have set the bar high, Juna will expect it every weekend!!
