queensland Coochin, Brackish and fesh Bullys Gallore

[pcsolutionman]

headed down to coochin this afternoon Now that I have the 4x4 I was able to launch much further up the creek than I could before. Not saying where I launched as we have Forestry officers on our site all be it not very good ones :P lmao

Launched and headed upstream, I chucked on a 50mm Luckycraft and started casting hoping for a jack onmy way up tio the fresh for an ever illusive Coochin bass. third cast and im onto a little flathead put up a HUGE fight lmao

back he goes and back on my way 2 mins later I see the first Bully of the day but that was just the beggining. got round a bend to some a very shallow stretch and in about 2-300m probly saw 10-12 Bullys between 3-5ft all in 1-3ft of water. got a shot of one of the bigger 4.5-5ft fish

changed over to the surface as it got darker but coukdnt entice any hits. nothing fantastic but a relaxing arvo out on the water.

oh and I lost count in the 20's the number of bullies I saw. Im going to go chase some in the yak very very soon i think. they should go Nuts in that shallow water

some great pics mate.

Saw my first Bullie cruising down here the other morning

Nice report, those bullies in that shallow water would've been a great sight to see!

Whereabouts is coochin creek? Is it fishable from the bank where you saw the bullies, have a 4wd if there is a rough track to get there, legally I mean of course

[Rocket75]

Do bullies take lures? were they interested in your hooked fish at all?

Thanks for the report and pics.

Sounds like a fun arvo mate. That pic of the bully is pretty awesome too. Hooking up one of them in the skinny water would be a bit of fun

[Burko]

guys you don't need a permit to traverse anymore so all is legal, unless your bush bashin

or on private property

Love the bully picture! Don't do your usual trick and hang your legs over the side after you have caught a fish!
