Fishermans Island NEWS!!! MUST READ

[BassTracker]

As most of you are probably aware there is or was a padock of water in behind the fishermans island rosck walls. Its been shut off from the tidal water for a long time but when it was originaly closed in, it was closed in fish and all!. There have been stories of covert fishing trips to this area as well as legitimate trips made by those in the know (friends in port authority!) There have been some monumental catches in there including huge snapper and flathead, big bream and a few jew, fingermark, whiting, tailor and others. The food supply was great and there was very little fishing and these fish got BIG!! Well last weekend they filled it in but before they were able to do so the greenies got on to it and ordered it be netted and the fish released back into the "wild" they apparently pulled up close to 15 tone of fish. AND guess where they were released???

STRAIGHT INTO THE BRISBANE RIVER MOUTH!!!

too good to be true..

Well I'll post pictures soon!

[BassTracker]

My mate matt from port authority is just waiting for the ok to release his pictures. he said it was crazy and thinks that most of the fish would have stuck close to the fishermans islands rocks.. I think there will be some direct benifit throughout the bay especialy mud island but Id say the rock walls with fresh livies and plastics should see you land some somewhat uninteligent fish.. haha.

What an opportunity!!

Just remember guys if it does fire up, put back what you wont eat.. haha

I had a mate pick up an 81 cm flathead on the mudflats opposite fishermans islands and took it home cause he got too excited only to find it was jam packed full of eggs.,.. silly bugger haha

[BassTracker]

Ive seen them already they are pretty impressive cant wait to upload them once I get the ok

[ando_04]

why do you need an ok ?

[BassTracker]

because they are "Port Authority" photos, taken on thier camera, so my mate matt said he has to check its ok.

[ando_04]

ahh okay, all good then

[username_taken]

mmm 15 tons of fish. I'm surprised they resisted the urge to truck then all down to raptis.

[BassTracker]

true but we are talking about greenies here

[LIVE_2_FiSH]

when do you think youll get the ok? i wanna see these pics bad lol

[Plastic Man]

[noname]

[Keechie]

lucky you rob :-P

[Lukey]

that is awesome to hear, can't wait for the pics. I'm sure there's gonna be about million boats lining those rock walls over the next few weeks!:laugh:

[BassTracker]

Guys we are not getting the pics, they are pending a media release for the paper so I dont get to use them until after the paper has! Tempted to post them by accident though haha

[LIVE_2_FiSH]

do it do it

[BassTracker]

I will for $50 bucks haha

Just kidding

[LIVE_2_FiSH]

haha dammit, any idea when theyll be released in the paper?

[BassTracker]

not at this stage but id imagine it would have to be this week sometime before it becomes old news!

[BassTracker]

I will let you know though

[BassTracker]

Its going to be interesting to see how people do down there over the weekend, any fishing reports would be awesome

[nuckle]

they might be to busy learing how to swim with current again to eat

[BassTracker]

haha true, i just wonder if the bigger fish will head out around the reefie spots or hang in close to the rock wall where they were released

[sarod420]

I would think that by now most of those fish would be spread out but with any luck some of the bigger fellas will still be hangn round the rock walls
