queensland thready at brekky

[dansike]

Hi all, I got some new 8lb braid for my 2500 straddic yesterday and I went down to brekky to see how it casts. There was a group of about 12 people fishing the whole section I wanted to fish so i went for a walk up the creek towards the bridge.

I started off seeing how it threw light jig heads so i tied on a 1/12 and gave it a go. May I just add that I wasn't fishing seriously, I was just seeing how my new braid went. It threw the 1/12 no probs so I decided to try a heavier lure and tied on a green TN50. It cast like a bullet and almost reached the other side.

I could't believe it when it got HAMMERED about mid retrieve!! Man!!! BLISTERING RUNS!!! Had to back the drag off because I could feel the hurt it was putting on my braid. I took my time and finally got it to the bank. Luckily for me there was a guy jogging past who held my rod while I went down to get the fish with my lip grippers.

As I went down to it, off it went again. The jogger freaked and quickly gave it back to me. Second time around it was no problem. After a quick photo (under the bridge lights, my flash broken ) I measured it and released it. Took a minute or so to get it going but I think it was fine. I managed to do all of that without the group of 12 200m up the creek even noticing, haha

110 cm thready (sorry about the photo)

Hey Dan, what was the tide like when you caught it? run in? run out? did you see any others catch anything?

[dansike]

About half tide on the incoming and no didn't see anyone catch anything but I wasn't looking either

[keen_as]

Top looking fish once again mate, I'll add that onto to my to do list too.

Did it give you heaps of stick on the lighter gear?

Nice 1 love the bit about the jogger having to hold the rod then it taking off again

[mickzxc]

Great job bud.

I was down there last night, I must of been between you and the group of 12 last night and I didn't even notice.

I was fishing with live prawns and herring and didn't get a touch.

[benobfo]

Sounds pretty crazy, I have heard only red head lures work there so you proved that wrong.

[dan25]

Sweet catch on that gear, Nice stuff :woohoo:

[RedHerring]

Actually that is a choice little spot.

Nice catch, one of my "unobtainables" is Threadfin on lure.

[ryanyoung]
