Dead river.

Had my first trip up the Pine for many months today.Was planning on getting a few livies and drowning them around the highway bridge.Trouble is i couldn't find any.Last time i was there i stepped of the kayak,threw the cast net twice and had that much bait i threw half back.Is it the colder weather or just one of those days???.It's the first time i haven't been able to get bait up there.{ Not that i have fished it a great deal}.Still,had a top day towing a hardbody lure from the boat ramp near Westfield all the way to the bridge and back.No waterskiers and no jetskies.Was talking to a bloke who said he caught an 80cm jew up there the other day.Also does anyone know where you can buy bait in bulk.Like a box of mabey prawns or squid at a decent price???.Cheers.

I always buy my bait fresh from Morgans seafood.

$8.99 kilo squid

$7.99 kilo prawns

$2.99 kilo mullet

$3.99 kilo pillies

etc etc

Cheers mate.That's a heap cheaper than those crappy packs from the servo.

The tackle shop at cards dine is pretty good with there bait.

Hey Keith, i had a pretty similar experience in the Pine the first time i went back after the floods. We did manage to get onto a few good fish that were lost but in general the fishing was a lot slower then normal as you described.

I also put a few hours in this afternoon around the highway bridge and further up towards castle hill for a donut. tried bait, softies and hardbodies but no luck for the second weekend in a row. But still good to be out there.

The pine has been dead for years. was hoping after the floods it would improve. I was up their 2wweks ago and last week and caught 2 diver whiting.

I haven't had much luck of late either, but I do see some good catches of bream, flatties, big Jew, even threadfin, so they must be somewhere.

Thanks heaps for the input guys.It's true,you can't beat local knowledge.I actualy stuck my head in the door of that Aussie Seafood joint at Lawnton for the first time on Saturday.Was very impressed with the joint.Also is anyone else having problems with the login page of this website or is it my computer.Cheers.
