queensland This week on the Goldy

Hi guys, well another 7 inches of rain has seen the water turn a lovely shade of brown again.

Fishing and crabbing are still good though, not a great deal of surface action upriver though.

Did a bait fishing trip for whiting Tuesday, fished top of tide to get cleanest water, managed 20 odd Whiting for the 4 hours fishing.

Lots of bream and a few grunter as well, all fish caught on blood worms.

Put a few pots in yesterday and did a bit of trolling while we were waiting, my deckie for the trip was our register operator from work at BCF Labrador.

She gave me a flogging not going to embarrass myself by mentioning numbers, she is the only fisherman i know that owns 1 lure.

After yesterdays results i agree with her it is the only one she needs, got a feed of Muddies as well so a great afternoon.

Would be worth a live bait session in the Seaway for a big Jew or GT as well for those interested.

Might see some of you on Wavebreak tomorrow if i'm out, cheers wayne

Sad but true Marty,i just console myself by saying i must be a very good driver.

I am sure in a few months i'll stop sooking and i'll take her again, cheers wayne

[BassTracker]

Wow youngy, some more quality whitting there and those muddies look very tasty. I always find I catch more muddies after a big wet, they are much easier to find because if you know the spots you fish you know where they'll be after rain. So is it true that she really only owns one lure? She has done really well!

[youngy]

Yep she's a one lure girl, after yesterdays effort i am beginning to think its the only one you need as well.

I am going to be hearing about it at work that's for sure, cheers wayne

LOL Thanks for the report Wayne...good to see the system is still in good shape. One lure seems perfect to me as well.....nicely done :-)

What does the cross indicate?

What does the cross indicate?

that they've been shagging (rubbing bottom against top). this is when they are usually bulked up.

[youngy]

Prawnhead, the Maltese cross on the muddy is a sign that the crab has mated recently, it is caused from the rubbing of the females shell on the males chest plate.

The male will clasp on to the female from behind and has to wait for the female to loose its old shell and get a new soft shell before they can mate.

This may take up to a couple of days, this causes the rubbing and the mark on the chest, cheers wayne

[Homer4duff]

Ah ha! Randy buggers eh. Thanks for the explaination Eug and Wayne.

Lively lures, Micro Mullet?

Some dudes I know in Rocky swear by 'em for big flatties and rat barra.

You always come up with the goods mate..

[youngy]

Yes Damien the old Micro Mullet has been around a long time but still catches more fish than most lures, cheers wayne
