Hi All
Catching the trevs on Monday definateley gave me a bit more get up and go so decoded to make an early start this morning and go for a jack fish. Got up at 230 loaded the car and tried to hook the boat. Couldnt move the boat and after closer inspection saw that I had a flat tyre. I had to then unpack the car to get the jack YAYthen as I start loosening wheel nuts it starts raining >
. A change of plan was definateley rquired so i raced down towards the mouth area in search of some clearer water on the run in tide. I tried a few spots and just on daybreak dound a patch of fish busting on the surface. I couldnt seem to get a hit and eventually cut my 2 inch minnow down to a half inch minnow rigged on the smallest jighead I had in my bag. First chuck and I hooked one of the culprets. It was a small queenfish, my first in the Tweed. I caught a heap of them after that and decided to go and look for something else. I fished a few of the nearby pontoons and managed to pin a few bream the biggest going 37cm. At least the fishing was making up for the poor start. I was re rigging the bream rod when a few fish started busting up out from the bank. I grabbed my other stick with a popper and shot it at them, immediate hook up. I fiesty liitle bigeye trev was released. I waited for them to show themselves again but didnt so went back to casting the pontoons. Next cast I got snagged on something that started to move and I pulled in a fishing rod and reel
. GEEZ talk about a day for the species . Someone must have lost it recently cos everything was working fine. I then got a moses perch off the next pontoon but the constant rain started to put a damper on things. I decided to head home cos the day had definateley turned out great. On the way back to the ramp i came up to some birds working a colour change with mullet flying everywhere. Out went the softie and I hooked a screamer. After a tough fight i netted a good size GT. Man does it get any better. Yup, 3 casts later and another gt takes off . This one was a bit smaller but ended an excellent mornings fishing. All I have to do now is stay awake at work long enough to have another crack at them tomorrow
Good fishing to you all
