queensland hinze western arm 24/9/23

Headed to the western arm this morning with Mark. We first went upstream and wasted a lot of our valuable shrimp feeding the barred grunter and a few small bass before we headed downstream to the drop off near the white post where we found some better size bass plus the bonus of no barred grunter. We had to leave because the wind and waves were coming straight down the eastern arm and making it too uncomfortable for my back. We moved upstream into the adjacent bay and tied up to one of the isolated trees and found more quality bass ending up with a total of 30 bass with the majority of them over 35cm. The eagles appreciated a feed of barred grunter.

only about 40 to 50 shrimp out of pots bonus was went we went downstream we found 10 of our pots high and dry out of the pots that were stolen about 6 months ago. Guy must have abandoned them after he was sprung. Still 6 to go we suspect they may be somewhere in the eastern arm. We also found 2 of your old pots that were tied to a fallen tree. Not much left of them but gutterguard is still ok.

That’s good , I hope your tying them high up , once the rain starts it might be a while before it gets this low again.
