queensland going to maroon 30/1/10

[Davo_Dinkum]

me and my bro where talking about a fish this arvo .

but its already so late in the day.

but it's almost low tide most places ,the weather is pretty average ,its pretty blowy .

so it maroon day for a late arvo /early night fish .

[Davo_Dinkum]

we went ,we fished, we got a donut .

it was bloody blowy and the wrong way kept washing us in to the weed and ashore.

we trolled

we cast at the weeds

we cast at the trees

we got stuck in the wees and trees .

well at least it wasn't a dull trip .

Mate you must of been the guys how rocked up in the canoe i was there in a green skeeter with stu and we were the only boat out until you guys got there we got a few the wind was tough but

[Davo_Dinkum]

yeah that was us in the canoe .

we have no idea what we are really doing either .

me and bro have been salt water fisho's /bait soakers all our life .

so it was last year we started doing a bit of fresh and lures and plastics .

we have has success in the rivers and creeks ,but only done a handful of trips .

that was my second dam trip ,my bro first .

we just trolled in between spots .

we mainly used surface lures and did a few of the coves and flicked at the water lilies.

went over to the other side of the dam ,opposite the ramp side to get out of the wind .

cast some surface and shallow divers around the trees and rocks .

really we only fished 3 spots ,the rest of the time we where traveling about .

had to travel around at idle ,with only 4 inch of free board .

trying to stay dry ,but still took on about a 1 1/2 of water and a wet ass.

the wind blew us about about the same speed we travel and i didn't take a anchor or rope .

the thick weed is a pain my cheap sounder didn't work most of the time .

just a spotted screen no matter what the settings ,only really worked in the deeper water fair distance away from the shore .

still a ok night .

getting out and trying new stuff
