queensland Sunshine Coast produces more fish

[pcsolutionman]

Well it was my cousin adams last day in QLD yesterday and I had the day off so I took him out for a full day chasing some fish on lures.

We started the morning around 10:30AM at golden beach caloundra casting SP and HB for a few flathead. we fished there for around an hour and a half producing 3 fish and loosing one good flatty.

First fish was a flatty I got on an sx48 went 38cm

second fish was another flatty this time Adam got it on a 4\" gulp minnow in molting went 42cm.

then Adam got another fish this time a little estuary Cod

We then packed up and headed over to Currimundi lake where my mate paul was going to meet us in his yak. the aim was to get onto a jack or trevally but only small fish around.

about 2pm by this stage so we decided to go do little retail therapy at Amart and Tackleworld :woohoo:

:woohoo:

After we both spent too many $$$:blush: :blush:

we headed over to the moorings on the mooloolah river for an afternoon/evening session on some big breambos:P got there around 4:30pm and man the bream were thick you could see them eating off every pilon and boat getting on there sides and all, they wouldnt take anything we threw at them though:angry: but here are a few pics I took to get your juices flowing, all these fish were between 30-45cm:ohmy:

The first fish hooked after dark was by me a ripper of a fish that smashed a 3\" gulp minnow in moldy cheese on a 1/16th head on the drop thought I was onto a 40cm+ breambo for sure. he peeled line off on three occasions before I got sight of him. low and behold a trever that went 36cm

[img size=499]http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/pcsolutionman/fishing%20with%20adam/p1020471-web.jpg

that was it for the fishing a great day that he will remember for a long time im sure.

This thing was swimming around for a while it was only about 2 inches long, I think it is a baby flying fish????? neat little thing man he could move.

sorry about the long read but it was a long day we finished uop around 10pm.

I had another couple of hours out there tonight but couldnt even rustle up a pike:S I think I have had my fishing Mojo stolen so whoever took it please give it back:angry: lol lol

We kept the squid and the trevally the rest were all released

great day lee!..love the grunter and squid on a hard body..thats great...that trev?..is it a turrum?..and that little weird fish...that amazing:blink:

[pcsolutionman]

yeh thought it was a turrum. and the little fish was so cool. so what happened to you coming out tonight? doesnt matter though you didnt miss anything the fishing was SH!T

Lee

[James W]

yer i knew it was gunna be bad fishing tonight:dry: ..nah man i was wishin i was fishin....but jeez man ya got on to a few with ya cousin..hey when was the last time u heard of the lake opening up to the sea?

[Mack_attack]

some good fish there and the pics are pretty good as well.

[pcsolutionman]

Ive never been there when its closed. it always runs, someone told me they closed it to stop the sand flies breeding. I was up there a couple of months ago pumping some yabbies near the mouth and it was roaring through

Lee

[James W]

really?...man i cant remember ever seeing it joining to the sea....thats weird..thou i havent been there in a long long time...i must be dreaming:S

[pcsolutionman]

Its always a shallow opening but whenever I have been there (20-30 times over the last 10 years) its always open so maybe its just a on off thing??

Lee

[Rocket75]

I reckon that after that sort of day, your cousin will need a holiday from his holiday!

Those bream are very mean, taunting you like that...just wait till next time mr. bream.

Thanks for the report.

Rocket

[mackmauler]

pretty sure its a long nosed trevally mate, they dont grow over about 4kg, great fishn guys, lotta fun by the looks of it.

[pcsolutionman]

thanks mack, I have caught a couple a little smaller previously there from the yak so theres a few there.

Lee

[kiara_poltegerist]

great report mate, love the pics! hehe.. love the look of that calamari too. hehe.

[adventure_angler]

Great report mate, you have been hooking onto a lot of quality fish lately. Keep the reports and photos coming.

[STU]

Great session once again lee your cousin will be going back pleased he probably will be back soon to catch some more on lures

[MichaelJ]

another great report and yeh that is a flying fish it doesnt look like the ones you normly see out here but i went onto goodle images and theres heaps of differant colour ones

[ellicat]

Another fine session to farewell the cousin - good one. The bream remind me of the deck at the Ballina RSL - always plenty of huge ones there surface feeding on the moths at night (and the odd food scrap thrown by visitors lol)

I too have never seen the lake closed and have been there on and off for nearly 40 years:S We were playing a bit of beach cricket there last summer - where it's all water now.

I thought the flying fish was a siamese moth:laugh:

[Tim a]

Nice report PC!

[Dan23]

Mate, that trever is very similar to the one I got at Brunswick Heads last weekend. Had the same spots. I looked it up and thought the markings on it made it a GT but I'd take Mackmauler's advice he seems to know what he's talking about. I'll be up at caloundra for a week in November. I might have to hit you up for a fish while I'm up there.

BTW trevelley feel like a 50cm bream. They pull insanely hard for their size. :cheer:

[mackmauler]

i dig up a couple of pics, the fish are a bit bigger and trevas do change with age, the one on the right is what i know as a turrum on the left is a brassy, and the one in the 2nd pic is the fella you got, ive seen them through there growth stages and dont have a pic of a juvenile.

[Schultzy]

Lee,

That nice trev is a long-nosed trevally carangoides chrysophrys.

We used to get heaps of them in the blue hole in the broadwater before it silted up after the seaway was built.
