latest info for nerang and coomera required

[Zim man]

hi all

i had planned a day to the coomera tommorow but heard that the water was dirty up in the lake.

Does anyone know how the nerang is for water clarity or latest coomera reports? keen to get out but not interested in chocolate brown water.

This humidity has got to be firing up the jacks:woohoo:

Dunno mate but I'm going fishing the coomera tonight, monday night i got a 140cm pike eel and missed a few good hits. Kinda hard to fish when rain's hitting your face at 90 degrees. Last time the water was really dirty a couple of months back we had some of our best catches. Give it a go I reckon.

Khoi and I were there yesterday, we fished from the lake boat ramp down to the canals on the yaks and yes the river/lake is poo brown and full of debris. It wasn't pleasant and after trying everything from poppers, sub surface, deep divers, sp's and blades we got nothing at all

forget the top end of the coomera - still 1 metre of water flowing over the weir - that place really shuts down after a big fresh. bait fishos may stand a better chance, but no good for lures.

with the amount of fresh coming out of the rivers at the moment - we are unlikely to get much of a run in for a few days at least

yer marty it look pretty bad on sunday after leaving your place and the rain was heavy so it would be a good week or so before it comes good if we get no more rain.brad

Hi Guys, as Marty has said the upper reaches of the Coomera and the Nerang as well will not be great for a while.

I did have a fish at the mouth of the South arm of the Coomera on Monday afternoon on the low tide, was better than i thought.

Trevally were smashing baitfish on the surface, managed 1 reasonable fish and dropped another one that i couldn't turn on the 3lb braid i was using.

As a general rule the Nerang is less effected because of the dam but i haven't had a chance for a look, working the tide in these conditions will always help in finding fish, cheers wayne.

thanks guys, i reckon i will try and wait abit, wanted to do some product filming so required the cleaner waters.

nice trev youngy, thats pretty much what i will be after when the weather improves if it ever improves:(

just got word that tully creek is looking good and the water is looking alot better as long as we get no more rain.

[marty]

tully creek is a long drive brad talle creek however is a little closer. I drive over the talle twice a day and I can tell you the mid reaches are still fairly dirty looking. it has got slightly better over the week though. I reckon the end closest to the mouth (and the canals) would be okay on a run in tide. problem is they are forecasting a fair bit of rain down here sat arvo/evening. the ground is already soaked, so any rain will become runoff and flood the creeks again

dirty water and northerly winds - can it get any worse???

[nadders]

decent chunk of rain down there right now too, wouldnt be surprised if it dirtys up some more

cheers
