noosa never disapoints

I reckon it's one of those places that a bit of local knowledge *really* makes a difference.

Though I'm a reasonably frequent visitor (at least 3-4 times a year, though I don't always wet a line) I certainly don't have it. However, just observing so many people on the river doing completely the wrong thing is amusing. At times, its' estuarine system must have the most baited hooks simultaneously in the water vs the amount of fish caught in the entire country.

But I guess a lot of holidaymakers and kids learning while enjoying the passtime has to be a good thing.

Good luck,
Mike

PS I forgot what I was originally posting for, and got sidetracked...

Congratultions on the catch. It's a diehard effort in those conditions, so well done mate, you put most of us to shame.

Good luck,
Mike

thanks mike
ive been going to noosa for yrs but normally onli get to head up there once a month cause its a treck just for a fish but always worth the effort its a place that when all else fails wind rain or snow if that ever happends we still pick up a feed ppl say its geting over fished but i think its more like the fish are geting smarter we have caught juvenile red emperors cobia sweetlip and even a coral trout in this river so its a heathy system and for what its worth i have notice the fishing has goten better or we have goten smarter but you are right ive seen alot of ppl fishing and most with out sucess
cheers rick [ wife onli lets me fish once a week, its like use it or lose it so im never gona lose it ]
