queensland Some fishes over the weekend

[nadders]

Have been a bit busy and not on the forums as much this week, so here is a late report

headed downriver as per the norm and threw some vibes around (again, as per the norm lol)

found action instantly on a couple of jew in the 73-74cm range, taken on 2nd and 3rd cast respectively:

Soon after got stuck into a few decent sized vermin:

some not so decent sized vermin:

and capped the night off with a nice treddie taken halfway down the water column:

Was a pretty cold night but the wind held off well enough. I still had a bit of a cold hence the paper towels on the casting deck :blush:

all fish released and in good condition, no need to dropline the threadfin as he/she was only 5m or so down and 25lb IMX > threadfin :silly:

Cheers

nice session dan i don't mind the tailor they put up a reasonable fight for there size

[nadders]

haha i dont mind em either mark in small doses, when im fishing for jew though i want jew, not tailor

ive had quite a few lures bitten off in the past by the buggers too :cheer:

[kriso]

mate i would be wrapped just hooking up to your "vermin!"

[dog pound]

Thats a great effort i would be rapped, good photos.

Well done mate!! Epic haul. Cant get over the amount of Jew in the river. Been working my ass off for em down the coast. Even took a haul to Yamba for 3 days over the weekend to try and get stuck into some only to pull the hooks on a whopping 50cm as I was clambering down the rocks to get it. My theory is there must be way hotter female Jew in the Brisbane river cause they all seem to be up there..

[nadders]

cheers all, love catching the jew and threadies always wrapped by those fellas. just not a huge tailor fan is all

chris when are you and the boys doing your little winter comp lol, xavier's been facebooking me. surely there must be some good'uns down your way, the rivers been good for the average size fish but im still waiting on my monster

That was our Yamba trip mate.. It stunk! Cold, wind, rain - way too many undersize fish and a complete lack of Jew. Xav and me fished from the wall the last day - thats when I got the small Jew on a plastic. Was definately a fun trip though. Thats pretty much all I've been trying for is one of the monsters, although at the moment anything will do.. Only problem is 20-30cm live mullet can at times be a prick to come across. Smashed 4, 25cm mullet the other week but got sharked on all but one which found it's way to a snag. Fishing can be a cruel sport.

I talked your lures and fishing abilities up to Xav.. haha..

[nadders]

plan the next trip around a flood lol that should bring a few out of the woodwork.

[chris_stewart14]

LOL -- Excellent tip! If anyone is good mates with God can you hit him up for some dates for the next flood? I figure if Noah got a heads up to build an arch surely he can help a brother out to catch a big Jewie. :laugh:

[thousandyards]

i got them maybe 3m under the surface. after the couple of jew it was a bit quiet, got a hit burning the lure back after a cast near the surface so started working them a bit higher up and came tight on the tailor. the bait wasn't on the surface so no tailor action on the surface but there was quite a decent bait school being worked over midwater with the jew sitting underneath cleaning up the scraps

cheers

Well done and awesome pics too. Shouldn't hurt too much loosing a couple of lures in your line of business - gotta write a few off to testing

Cheers

[qbkami]

[crazywalrus]

nice session nadds - U always get quality fish. I agree the vermin would be great to me. cheers Ted

[nadders]

mal you might have to teach me how to cook em, i tried one from a river trip and almost gagged. haven't eaten a surf vermin before so maybe theres a world of difference (or maybe i tried a bad one :cheer: )

[Scope]

Nice looking fish there mate - cheers for sharing some tactics as well

[Dano]

Mate your a bloody machine!

I consistently come back from the river with doughnuts I reckon you got some crazy fish voodoo goin on

Nice work
