upper brissy

[James W]

myself and lee hooked up for a stanley river session on wednesday but recent rain had flooded the river...so we decided to hit the upper brisbane river instead to see if we could find some yellas......

took a while before the first hook up...a small catfish..but then it went nuts for a bit...schools of catfish must have been doing laps and we would get double hook ups every time they went past.....i think we must have got a dozen or so each!...no sight of a yellowbelly but did have very small bass swiping at our stumpjumpers....althou no desirable fish, much fun was had with hard hits long screaming runs and a few bust offs!

was good to catch up again lee..been a while! [img size=320]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/DSC00877.jpg

Wow that would have been an awesome fight! Was that caught out in the bay? I think it was Jeff who posted some pics of big ones in the bay a while back caught while sharking.

Nice work on the poppa-cat Keechie.

Rocket

[James W]

yer rocket..went checked out the other side of the bridge...rabbits everywhere too but i didnt go digging around after them this time...wasnt sure what else was gunna come out the warren

[Rocket75]

that side looks easier to fish with less steep banks, was it easier to get to as well?

[James W]

yer its heaps easier walking..but less structure...

and by the way..now after 2 days hiking there with a bung foot...im out of action for a while

[Keechie]

thanks for that jimmybob, had a great time. Stoked with the catty on the surface what an awesome take it was, maybe next time it will produce better and i hope you ankle heals quickly.

yo JimmyB what sort of retrieve work on the popper cattie? The last time we had the yaks at Wivenhoe we found a patch of hungry catties in 6 foot of water. Everytime we trolled a lure through we got a hit but the damn wind met we could only play there for a while:( I reckon they would have a crack at a popper there though, that would be mad!
