queensland A Reasonably Reasonable Day.

[rayke1938]

We had a reasonably reasonable day at the hinze western arm this morning .
The only schooled up fish were the barred grunter which were in plague proportions.
 We did manage to pull some nice bass between 38 and 45cm but they were not schooled up with about 3 or 4 fish everywhere we pulled up before the grunter made it impossible to get a bait down.
Also around 6 stonker tandans.
Thanks for the company Rossco.
Cheers

Thanks for the report Ray, i've had a lash at shrimp fishing the last couple of times on the eastern arm, but everywhere i go the grunter show up so quickly! bloody pests. Do you have more luck bait fishing in 30 feet of water than say 15 feet? or depends on the day?

 

Cheers, Glenn.

Hi Ray,

When you say Barred Grunter, are you talking about Amniataba percoides? 

 

[rayke1938]

That is them AKA Banded grunter declared class 2 noxious species in NSW wish they would be the same in Qld outside of their natural range might make some of the hatcheries more careful.

Cheers
