queensland Sunken Wall 3/2/08

[Cowfish13]

We had another go at the Sunken Wall today. We only have about 3 hrs of time to fish because I had too much homework to do for school (I hate Year 11:()

Anyway, for the first hour nothing, then I tyed on a Jackall Chubby and soon after I landed a 58cm Flathead. I had been using my Twin Power with the 15lb spool on a 3-6kg Pluegar Trion. A great way to christen my new rod with a pb Flathead and my first fish on a Jackall Chubby:cheer:

Nothing for a while and we started to head back to the boat ramp. Jack walked slower than us and he caught a small 28cm Cod on a Chubby when he was about 100m away from us (hence the one handed photo)

Then as we got under the Cement Co part of the wall, Dad hooked up to a big fish but he dropped it:(. Then I missed a decent sized Cod strike. Then I managed to catch a big 43cm Cod. This put up an awesome fight:cheer:.

Finally, Dad managed to catch his first ever fish on a lure. It was a small, 25cm Cod, but he was happy. Wasn't as big as the one he lost though.

Fun trip, but if I didn't have h/work to do, we could have stayed longer and caught more fish.

Two of my favourite fish there, Cod and Flathead.

Good to see they both like Chubbies, mine are yet to get wet!

Congrats to Dad on the first, and you on the PB Flattie.

Thanks for the report, now go do your homework:angry: :silly:

Another good report. That's a nice size Cod at 43cm was that on the heavier setup too? Feels nice to have a bit of confidence especially when fishing around rocky areas like that. Decent flatty also, we'll have to hit that spot soon.

So are chubbys the new Sx40?:silly:

no the mal florence triout masta's are but seriously there not bad for $1.25

Will didn't mention it but that's his PB cod in the brissie region aswell.

[Cowfish13]

Yeap both on the heavier gear. Was so good to have the confidence to land them and to be able to feel their full power. Also was good to be able to pull my lures off the snags:cheer:.

Rocket: I've already done it:cheer:. That's why it's a bit of a late report.

Nice cod fellas. Did you keep one for the fillets?

[Feral]

Good stuff cowfish - keep on top of that homework, you dont want another "fishing freeze" this year!

[Dinodadog]

Well done Cowfish sounds like you had a good day in the rain

[Plastic Man]

nice work mate good to see you got out in the rain and still had fun

[username_taken]

well done! Did you just walk along the walls from the pinkenba boat ramp? I notcied the other day they've done a ton of bulldozing and fencing around there...

[Cowfish13]

Yeap, we just walked left from the boat ramp. We have to go under the Cement Co walk-way though. Some times in strong wind, dust and other stuff gets blown in your eye's which gets annoying.

Ellicat: We let them all go:). We would have had a good feed with the Flattie and Cod though

[pinkey]

Like the hat cowfish . like the flaty n cod to =p

[nigehey]

Great stuff cowfish - thanks for the post!

[kevinchen19870316]

is it actually allowed to fish there? i am keen to have a few casts there

[Cowfish13]

I'm pretty sure that you are allowed to. I havn't seen any signs prohibiting it and workers from the Cement Co drive past all the time and they havn't said anything at all.

Have a go, you'll be surprised at the quality of the fish you'll catch. And no body will blame you for using heavier gear:cheer: You'll need it to stop the Cod around the rocks. I'm only taking 15lb from now on. I actually got better fish when using that than with 4lb:S

[kevinchen19870316]

15lb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wouldn't go under 20lb when casting my megabass lures since i know there r cod there. ha ha ha ha

good one a day of firsts for you & your dad
