queensland Against Doctors Orders

[Dinodadog]

Rain,fire and strong winds couldnt keep me away from some fishing. Headed off down to  visit my son in the gold coast hinterland, after he had had a knee replacement done recently.On the way we (wife and me ) went through some heavy rain,had to avoid a roadside fire, then as we arrived we couldnt even open our doors as the wind was that strong.To top it off the power went off and was still off when we left after a BBQ at 7pm.

I waited until 4.30pm for the wind to stop but could not wait a minute more.First cast fish on,managed to land 5 out of 8 bass hooked, lost 2 spinnerbaits. These fish were from 35 to 42cm long and hit like freight trains, then headed for a bunch of snags to gain their freedom and some of them did. It was so good to have a line in the water after 2 weeks of sitting at home healing my skin cancer grafts.

Good to see you up and about, hows the goldfish/carp  situation ? 

[Dinodadog]

Yeah there is still plenty of them in the system, might have to buy some corn and have a carp session, there is some big ones there. I made a spear awhile back then found out its against the law.

Nice one mate. a carp session would be fun all the same. 

We just announced our Wyaralong fishing comp for carp and tilapia in September next year.
