Port run 21-02-24

[mangajack]

Went back down the port this afternoon looking for more jew like last week.

Found scattered jew near where I found them last week on the run out....water was running too hard to effectively fish....went up the river for two small squire...1 about 40 the other about 55cm....the 55 came home.

Went back to the jew at the change of the tide and they were not schooling or feeding.

Ended up anchor locking over a couple of pairs of fish a few times for no result....that's fishing for you.

I gave my deckie the snapper to take home....poor bugger didnt get a single sniff today.

Nothing worthy of a photo today.

Nice work, that still sounds like a pretty good session @mangajack, you can't be too unhappy with a 55 squire .

Was the water still quite dirty out there? 

[mangajack]

water quality is surprisingly good    like a green tea....see through and slightly brown.....lots of crap floating on the surface though...I would not be night time travelling currently.

Interestingly, or strangely, the water was brown for the last of the incoming and the top of the tide at Macleay this morning. When the tide started to head out, the water cleared up. Weird.

Bugger about the jew. Will the gifted snapper be sufficient enticement to get the decky back for more ? haha

For sure he will be back, he lives for fishing but doesn't do it enough.

He seems to live on frustration with barra and jacks his main obsession in SEQ....

If you can get your net down in 15m of water and manage the current there are big prawn schools out from luggage point around the leads marker level with the front wall of the port yesterday. Schools were 2 to 3m deep on the sounder.
