queensland Early Morning On The Run In At Newstead Park

[Gerty]

Fished Newstead park/ breaky creek this morning and had pretty good success. 

High tide was 730 ish so I arrived just before sunrise at quarter to 5 to start fishing the run in. After about 30minutes I got my first hook up onto a fun little 23cm bream.

15 minutes or so later I got another hook up and this time a bigger bream measuring 30cm to the tip, first decent size bream I've caught in this spot in quite some time and it gave a really good fight on the 4lb crystal!

Next couple of casts later and I hooked up again, this time to a decent estuary cod, measuring 30cm also. The bugger took me back to his home pretty quickly but luckily my leader survived as I pulled him out of the snag!

Finished off at Newstead around 800 after catching another small bream and cod.

I was still keen to keep fishing but Newstead had slowed down so I headed upstream a bit to west end. I managed 3 more bream amongst the trees and mangroves, one was just legal at 25cm and the other two were 23 or so.

A good morning of fun catching bream on the atomic hardz!

Nice work! @Gerty

I love a classic river session chasing bream and getting the odd cod. It's funny how many people have no idea it is such a great place to fish and relatively consistent with bream once you know what you're doing.

Yeah I'm quite happy with them. I've always been a big fan of the ecogear sx40's but they aren't always friendly on the budget so I started testing out the atomics. I've been getting lots of hits on both the crank 38 deep and shad 40, but I think I like the crank more than the shad.

I had nothing better to do this morning so i put the time to good use and I had an awesome time!

I've got a few spots that will always produce at the right times/ tides and if I have a morning or arvo free it isn't much of a hassle with travel so I can't pass the opportunity us.

Great session there mate, a good reminder of what we have on our doorstop and that a boat isn't necessary.

Well done, lovely little stretch of water through there.

Agreed @kmcrosby78 this should be great inspiration fot the city guys and younger guys without boats or own transportation.

Nice work fella.

We spent our last club meeting detailing all the awesome land-based spots in Brisbane.

I agree with @Angus, these posts are great to get guys and gals off their bums  and explore a bit.

@Angus @kmcrosby78 Yep back in my teens when I started fishing and before I had a license we would catch the city cat to get to different spots around the river!
