queensland Back Yard Fishing = GT

[RobVee]

Whilst cooking dinner Monday evening I heard the unmistakeable sound of baitfish scattering in the canals off our back yard.

I grabbed my baitcaster outfit, yelled at my wife to make sure the veggies didn't burn, and rushed down the bank to have a few casts.

Started with a 17g Maniac and could only raise a few bumps and follows.

Switched to a 20g Knight and all had gone quiet.

Suddenly there was HAVOC only 7mtrs to my left against the bank as a group of heavies was busting the herring up so much that the water was boiling, and the baitfish were launching out of the water onto the sand near my feet to try and escape.

I retrieved and cast over the boil, but as quick as they started to feed, they were gone again.

I persisted and a few casts later this +/- 50cm (no mat) fella hooked up and brought a major :woohoo: to my dial !!

Gotta love the opportunities that GC canals present :cheer: :cheer:

Good stuff! The sound of baitfish boiling gets all anglers excited, and when you can bring in a fish from your backyard... You can't beat that :woohoo: Great GT!

Nope .... these trevors are very fussy.

Never had a hit on a popper ; have had bumps on small stick baits ; hookups and landed fish have only come from Maniac & Knight lures - no bigger than 20gm

Oh fair enough mate awesome stuff anyway
