queensland Just in time

[Dinodadog]

Just in time this morning in the North pine, just in time before these blokes came along

Must admit though they stayed well away from me and never got any closer than 70mts. When I arrived there was only one other fisherman there and when I asked how he went he said he had got 2 bass. I dont think he liked the look of me as he packed up quickly and as he passed me he said I have my 2 now I go home.

Well I was on first cast to a nice bass and this continued for about an hour, I was fishing shrimp and lures at the same time. Lures were not doing very well until I changed to plastics. Managed about 20 plus bass with quite a few over 40cm then when I was just about to leave I dropped 2 tarpon on shrimp so I went down to 1/8th jighead with a dark plastic and jigged it across the river just under the surface and picked up 3 tarpon, I also had a lungfish to the bank before he pulled the hook.

well done Dino did the tarpon do some jumping for you. Bass and Tarpon two of my favourite sports fish great to be able to get them in the same spot.

well done dino some very nice bass and tarpon in the mix aswell

[Dinodadog]

Yes the tarpon were quite acrobatic the first one I dropped was a beauty. Tarpon have been there for years from the salt right up to the dam wall.

Dino, you lucky man nabbing 3 tarpon.

I might just have to take the fly rod down there in the coming days.

Looks a nice spot, with fish to boot.

Looks a nice spot, with fish to boot.

Perhaps a little like Bulimba Creek used to be?

Think that's the electrofishing rig mate

[Luc53]

Definitely an electro-fishing rig.

It's a nice spot, shame the rape & pillage brigade work it over.

The bass look healthy if a little skinny!!

[Dinodadog]

I would say a few of the skinny bass were in there for awhile but some of the healthy ones have only recently escaped over the wall.
