Brisbane River Session #308

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Hi all,

Went for a quick fish last night with @Thorbjorn Hale on the river. We arrived a bit before sunset and did some cast netting, where we caught one mullet that was big enough to cut into pieces for the nights fishing. We didn't have any more luck with live fish/prawns in the net.

A couple of solid flatties (one very large) had been caught so we were hopeful to get one. Sure enough, I noticed my line was slack and wound it in, only to find a fish on the end - a nice size 65cm flatty. 

Not bad for first cast

We continued fishing for another 2 hours or so for nothing before the poor conditions prompted us to go home. It was very quiet on the bites and bait throughout the night.

Thanks for reading,

Cheers Hamish

Nice Fish. Well done.

No beach or rock fishing down here at the moment. Rough seas & 3metre swells.

Cheers.

Good work on the flatty. It only takes one quality fish like that for me to call it a good session.

Excellent work Hamish. I admire your dedication- I was firmly ensconced in front of the fire last night and have no intention of venturing out into these arctic evenings.

Thanks Steve - and that's fair enough, it's been freezing recently.

Ahhh the enthusiasm of youth.  I am like Old Scaley….too cold to be venturing out.

Well done on that flatty.  This week is looking like a zero fishing week with the wind howling until at least Friday.

Are you fishing the city reaches again Hamish?

I'm thinking about a very early morning session up that way on the next neaps.

Thanks Huxstang, hopefully the wind dies off soon.
