Richmond - Ballina

[Archer]

Hit the lower richmond this morning for a quick fish on the water about 7:00am
Fished the run up tide for half a dozen Bream all around the 27-28cm mark all on Gulp Pumkin seed 3" grubs...Not worth the hassle of cleaning so they all went back.
Changed over to some Green stick baits Karl and i grabbed off Ebay last week ended up with 2 nice lizards 41 and 43cm. Nothing special but a feed atleast.
Waters still dirty but clear enough on the last of the run up for some decent visibility. Should really start firing agian over the weekend to early next week...Right when im in Melb for the comm games.
Was a great morning on the water with very few boats around. Geez working for yourself is hard to take!

Hit Ballina early again yesterday. With the tide running out the water is still very dirty making it a hard slog to get much on SP's.
Picked up another couple of flatties for a feed aswell as the usual bream getting in on the action.
One to the Gulps and another on the Ebay 4" Cheapies. The Ebay ones have great action and certianlly seem to last better than the Gulps.


Hopefully another few weeks and the water will clear right back up agian.
Still was a fun morning on the water my last trip for a couple of weeks so with any luck by the time i get back the waters will have cleared.

Nice couple of feeds there Joe, love the new carpet, can't wait to come down and dirty it up a bit for ya.
Also can't wait to get out and try those little green stick baits on the flatties, will have to do that as soon as I get a good tide at Deep Water Bend.

Hit the river again this morning right on daybreak. Love that time of the day!
Now ive never been a big fan of the old Bream sure they pull hard enough for there size but im no fan of eating them and to be honest i noramlly find them a right pain in the ass hitting my SP's when a good flattie could be jumping on instead.
Well that all changed this morning...
The bream were going off on the prawns from the recent fresh. Busting up on the surface everywhere. I made the descion to change to a smaller SP than i normally fish to have a bit of fun. Wow what fun in turned out to be. I would have landed 30 Bream all around the 30 cm mark. Not big sure but alot of fun none the less and when fishing almost visual for them very enjoyable.
Wait for a bust up on the surface flick SP into the area and hang on!!!
Most of the time i didnt even need to turn the handle.
Also picked up a nice lizard 63cms that was the only fish kept all the bream and about another 6 lizards all around 40-45cms returned to be caught again another day.
All fish caught were on a small 2" wriggler tail Grub in a clear prawny kind of colour another of the Ebay jobbies Karl and i got a few weeks back. This was my first try with them and very happy with them.







All in all a great morning on the water cant wait for the weekend!
