queensland NPD Slow Day

[rayke1938]

Went to NPD this morning with new AFO member Neil Stratford and Grant.As we had no shrimp left over from last trip we had to resort to trolling lures to where we had our shrimp traps. Grant managed a lone bass on a yellowy looking thing with hooks hanging out of its bum.

By the time we had done our shrimp pots we decided it was not worth while heading back upstream to try some of our usual spots so we headed over to the drop off opposite our traps to find someone already there pulling in bass regularly. We tried around them and pulled around  10 bass before deciding to go downstream to try greener pastures.

We found a few small schools but as soon as we hooked a fish they would move.

We only went as far as the fig tree and returned upstream to only add a few more fish to the tally.

Final score was 24 bass ,1 yella and one tandan. Best bass probably only 42cm.

Grant and Neil both caught tagged bass.

Cheers Ray

Beautiful day on the water, Ray. Very calm.

Welcome to the forum @Neil Stratford.

Looks like the ramp's getting shallow.

Hi rayke1938

Good on you (and Neil and Grant) for getting out and getting some.

24 fish is still good going in my books. I've never even caught that many before! Good job

Cheers Hamish
