queensland How do you know its time to go home?

Gods way of telling me its over :S

Fished some rocky ledges in the Coomera from 4 onwards with no love. Hooked a few bream in the mid 20's and some baby gt's were schooling up with my sx40 as I retrieved. Bream were all caught on 2lb with lightly weighted slider grubs in a green/brown colour.

After the sun went down there was a lot of surface action and the breeze disappeared completely.

I cast a bubblepop35 around some pontoons and had quite a few misses and then it happened, right up against a pontoon. The lure touched down, I closed the bail arm and the water erupted with a big take and a great fight, it headed for the rockes, then a post, then under the motor, around the boat. 3 attempts and its finally in the net. Bring it up to the light and I see what it is

Hi tomca ,im only new to the site sat last gone i went up to nudgee fishing and found that fishing late at night the slimy catties come out to play ive only got light gear and found the catties put up a bit of a good fight ,ive got a 2000 series penn reel and 1.8 meter rod with 20lb braid line and 40l.b braid leader, which was fun,i caught about 4 then thought yep must be time to call it a night,i havent been fishing for ages and am new to fishing in s.e.qld,the catties i got were about 45-50 in lenth and put up a good bit of entertainment for me.i got onto the catties after every one else called it a night ,may be i should of too.but its all good fun.

[tomca]

G'day dattofan, and welcome to the site. Catfish lurk around the bottom usually. The lure stuck in his gob is a popper(surface lure), which makes the catch highly unusual.

[dattofan]

Hi tomca ,the popper you were using must of got its attention pretty good to go up to the surface to chomp on it.Ive seen the poppers on t.v. and they seem like a pretty good choice of lure.I might have to go and give one a try.

Hi guys ,ive just been reading up on popers and they come in all sizes and colours I LOVE FLATTIES so after re-reading this topic i'm going to give a little poper a try for a flattie ,ive tried gulp blood worms ,sqiudgies and many types of bait to get a nice juicy flattie to no avail,yamashita plop and skip and see how i go.Im yet to catch a flattie ive only caught bloody cat fish and some sort of a sea perchs so far. :woohoo:

[kiara_poltegerist]

the top fish is bream, and the bottom one is moses perch mate. if you're after flatties, 4 inch jerkshads might be a better bet.
