queensland Boggy Creek 1st Timer

[ryanyoung]

Gday all

I went down to Boggy Creek with Dave yesterday on the tide change. It was a learning experience and a half as Dave was kind enough to come out and show me the ropes with sp's & hard bodies. It was my first time to the creek and we walked up and down the banks a few hundred metres either side of the vacant block area. Dave showed me the sp theory put into practice, and I ended up catching my biggest fish ever! Ha ha, it was a flattie with a whopping 30cm length! Caught it on one of Daves flourescent green and yellow squidgies. The rest of the day was pretty quiet although something did bite my squidgy's tail off whilst I was trying to untangle some line. A big thanks to Dave for all the help, it was invaluable!

Hey - where's boggy creek?

[Travis]

google pinkenba and go towards the mouth of the river a bit and look for the pipeline going across the creek, thats boggy

[Hayden1975]

Are you lucky enough to be in a boat? Or are you a landlubber like me???

I've never had any luck in Boggy but I've had plenty out near the STP.

[ryanyoung]

I'ts at the end of kingston smith drive, go past the massive qantas hangar, it is snug between the river and the back of the airport.

[Travis]

yeah boat, i guess it helps

[Hayden1975]

I thought a boat would do the trick, but then I caught this one from the shore....

I know some of y'all have seen this in my thread but hey....

It's worth the brag.

[Travis]

yeah thats the $H1T

[Hayden1975]

Has anyone caught anything decent at Boggy from the shore???

I was thinking at the right time that a popper would get smashed at Boggy, but where????

I've gone off baits since catching the frogs at the gas tanker with HB's.

[noname]

flathead! what flathead.

[noname]

that place is not worth fishing!

[Travis]

on the vacant land across fron the corner in the middle of the pipeline there seems to be a drop off where the old stumps are in the water,

[Hayden1975]

Hi noname,

What flathead???

[noname]

[ryanyoung]

Yeah, I don't know what the fishing is like out there on a regular basis. In my inexperienced opinion, I think the higher high tide of the day would yield better results, as it allows more structure in the trees which would be submerged at that time. I will head back there on the large high tide next time I venture out that way. One way or another, it is a change from my regular haunts of hawthorne and colmslie, and allows for a bit of experience with the different environment.

[noname]

it would probably be my pick for fishing lately, just a nice easy cruise trollin lures around, and getting some really good fish., loosing lures, along with brand new $100 landing nets.DOH.

[Hayden1975]

Landed any more of those esky fillers that you showed me??

[Travis]

lol yeah its a peacefull troll till alot of loud cursing comes from robs boat over yonder still havnt got it back huh? good fish there, rob has even caught 1M flattys on mackeral lures there lol

[noname]

not yet, but not giving up, buzz me when you get those lures!

[davefishmad]

Was a pleasure Ryan, anytime.

Yeah its a good little spot, does not always produce but definitely a great place to

flick a few plastics and HB around, and yes I have caught good fish there and seen some big landbased flatties hauled in too.

oh yeah and Ryan the plastic you were using was a 3 inch Berkely mullet in mango ripple ,proven winner on flatty and bream (4 inch is good too).

[thriller]

[Travis]
