queensland Hinze 23/6/11.

Spent a good day at the Hinze today. Perfect conditions glassed out most of the time.

Took a while to find the fish in my usual spot as they had moved into shallow ( 12 to 14 feet) close to the bank

They seemed to go off the bite so I made the decision to troll and explore a bit. Well all I achieved was to show Jords some of the scenery. We ended up down at Teds Waterfall where we couldnt even catch a banded grunter.. We then worked some of the points and bays on the opposite side of the dam for another dose of buggerall.

We then dropped in to first spot where after a while the bass came back on the chew for another dozen or so fish.

Quite happy with myself as I christened both my new reels.

Here are a few photos

The resident ramp guardian. There used to be around 8 of them but the foxes must have found them.

Jords giving his Austackle fireblade a workout.

Dropped into Austackle on the way home for some goodies.

Jords thanks for the company

Cheers

Lovely day for it gents. Much size to them ? Are they catching up with NPD ?

[Jords]

The 42ish was the biggest, but apparently the average size is starting to catch up, nowhere near the NPD monsters they used to get....yet!
