queensland River Dance With Old Steve (pic Heavy)

[ellicat]

Headed off from Port ramp courtesy of @Old Scaley around 8.30 this morning and made a bee-line for last weeks successful spot.

The start wasn't promising with only a few tiddler bites, Steve eventually landing a nice live bait diver whiting. Shortly after a bit of commotion on the livey and Steve winds in a dank length of braid. Oh well. Next minute I had a massive tiddler bite and had some more live bait aboard.

Today the fishing calendar suggested a 3* day with best time being 11.40am to 1.40pm. We drifted around trying different spots but could only manage an undersize squi (not big enough to be a full squire) and some smaller bream.

We headed for home at 1.40pm sharp. lol

 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot - Steve hooked this little 70cm girl too.

She was perfectly netted and quite frisky coming aboard making us dance to avoid the spikes. Steve danced on a little too long I thought.
It's hard to beat the buzz of a good fish coming aboard,

Cheers again for another top day on the water, Mr Scaley.

cheers for report.  well photo`d flatty.... you need to find a skipper who will allow you to catch the fish of the day   well done Steve

[Old Scaley]

Geez, @ellicat. I thought you would be in the middle of your nanna nap now, not posting. The breezy conditions made it a bit tricky today but we didn't use much juice and still have a feed. Boat is cleaned, fish is is filleted and crumbed and I am on beer number 3. And to think I could have been at work today listening to blah blah blah.  

Thanks for your expert net work and sharing your sweet bun and guava juice with me. We will do it again soon.

PS. You forgot to mention your squire.  Undersize but noteworthy none the less.

Well done boys. Beats a day in the office!

Settle. I had the catch of the day with Sparksie last week.

Yeah, but standing on your head on a traffic island is better than a day in the office.

I remember that report now, and you gave that catch of the day away , if Sparksie and Steve have not mentioned it, with donating catch of the day, bun, guava juice ( is that code for something Steve ) , your a great deckie.  

[ellicat]

All that stuff is to make up for the deficiencies. haha

[Sparksie]

Nice effort, good sized flattie. Any day on the water beats an office day.

Looks like a nice day on water still! Haven't been able to put boat in for 6 weeks now between work and the bloody wind! 

[Drop Bear]

Nice fish and nice report thanks

I thought that was you the other morning on my way to work Brian but wasn't sure so didn't call out - your pink wig was drooping down covering your face ............  Great flattie Steve - looks like a fun day was had.
