queensland You Can Stick The Salt

[rayke1938]

Went to the Logan with Rick this morning. Launched at Skinners rd ramp armed with fresh water shrimp ( left over from last trip to NPD )mullet,pillys and squid.

Rick donutted but got bites on shrimp,squid and mullet. I caught one lone turdsnatcher ( bream for the uninitiated) at 29 cm on a live shrimp and lost a good sized fish that broke me off at the boat when it went around the motor.

The live shrimp were 23 days old I was intending to try them out in one of the local creeks but could not get enthused. They lived on the hook in the salt for over an hour.

Had a couple of throws of the cast net near the ramp for one largish stick.  New shoulders seemed ok but right wrist did not like the weight of the 12 foot net.

Really impressed with the dickheads who see how close they can roar past you when you are fishing in 15 ft of water well away from the channel.

Really missing NPD

 Might give the sandies a go near the old barge channel next week

Cheers

Hi rayke1938

Bugger that you lost that fish around the motor, hopefully you can get some good sandies next time. I don't like people who speed past you either, once some fella in his skiing boat went about 25 knots to fast in front of our little kayak, I got soaked and the waves went right up onto the deck. Even worse, it was a six knot zone!

Cheers Hamish

Shame about the lack of fish and etiquette Ray. Any suspicions on what the lost fish was?

I have been flogging the life out of my saltwater pool for days now and still havnt caught a bloody thing. I have up graded all my gear ready for when the dams open, hope it happens before I go crazy all together.

At least Dino you'll be able to use your boat.

Thanks to the virus our renos have come to a standstill and with all the stuff in our garage, there's no hope of getting my boat out!!
