queensland brisbane river session #236

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Hi all

Another quick report from me this week - I went out for a fish after school on Friday at a local spot. The trains were delayed on the way home so I didn't ride there until 4:30PM, but I didn't waste any time catching a few baitfish. I eventually got a couple poddy mullet, one of which went out on my line. 

It wasn't until sunset I got a bit of action, not on the fishing rod, but with the prawns. Being low tide and sunset, they were pretty thick for a short window, with about 3 every cast. I ended up just giving them away to another guy I see there periodically, he was pretty happy with them. It is worth nothing by about quarter past six the patch had disappeared. 

I got off the donut on my last cast with a catfish on a mullet and prawn combo. I left at about 6:30PM. No threadfin or jewies to be seen, so hopefully next Friday I'll have a bit more luck. Also it is worth noting over the past week I have been going out to a few local spots cast netting at night time, as well as sussing out a couple of new bait spots, none of which were particularly successful. 

Stats of Trip: KF

Tide: 11:30AM, 1.8M, High, 5:35PM, .3M, Low (it was closer to 6:30PM). 

Moon Phase: 2.8%, New Moon, lots of run.

Cheers Hamish

Good on you for getting out Hamish

Dawn and dusk are supposed to be prime fish times Hamish so you're getting there at the right time, just got to get all the stars aligned.

Good luck next time.
