queensland feed from the pin

[Old Scaley]

Been a busy month in July for me with my daughter getting married and my oldest boy home for a month from his place overseas. He loves fishing and we have managed a few trips while he has been here. Last opportunity was Tuesday and thankfully the weather played the game. Put in at Jacobs Well and fished the Broadwater for a decent feed of whiting and a couple of bream. Lots of smaller models. Biggest whiting was 35cm.

I still love getting out for a fish with my boys who are both in their 30s now. Makes the hard yards you put in when they are little worthwhile.

Good times. Not so sure about ironing your catch however ...

That's a naked surf board..

That's a decent catch Steve. Couple of feeds there, and a day out with your boys.

Nice work, Steve.

It has been tough going for our last few trips there, so good to see a feed being gathered. Spot on with the father/son thing too.

Great haul.

Well done.

Don't drink to much at the Wedding,you have to give a speech.

Cheers.

Great feed there, What's your preferred bait when chasing whitting.? I like using worms but I'm not a fan of the price of them.!

Hey @Doughnuts. We stopped at the Gem and picked up $40 worth of blood worms. Ended up giving half of them to an old fella who was heading to the jetty for a fish when we got back to the ramp. I packed the yabbie pump as well but didn’t use it because we never looked like running out of worms. They are a bit dear, but they do produce fish (usually). We did throw plastics from time to time but only got a couple of 30cm flatties. Also tried a large herring as live bait after catching it on worm. Dropped it in the deeper channels closer to the bar but had no interest.

You got a competent gem staff member on a good day? @Kat had a lot to say after the last time she paid for worms there. 

Yabbies couldn't get us a feed from the land we visited at Macleay and Karragarra on the weekend.

While pumping yabbies I noticed very small green polychaete worms (too small to put on a hook), in abundance at low tide.

Certainly looked like something that that would be devoured if it was still cruising the substrate when it covered with water again.
