Yeap, there are wrecks in there. They are a bit hard to cast at landbased though. They would only be deep enough at high tide, but then it would be too hard to cast through the trees to get to them:S

Tree catching is a favourite of mine...not. You find a lovely spot, put on your best lure, and flick your first cast and...it goes a bit wayward (us old blokes are a bit stiff in the morning ). Tea trees, in particular, put up a lot of resistance, and unless you like an early morning swim, reckon the whole thing is worth about 15 metres of line plus terminal tackle.

Sorry, guys, couldn't help the comment. When I did examine the tree in question, I counted about 15 sets of line, lures, swivels and sinkers etc :S .

Good luck at Boggy Creek. Might even get there myself, since you all seem bloody good people.

[nuckle]

hahahahahahaha good1 man ^^^^^

[kevinchen19870316]

my favorite is however, sunken tree catching. lol and i always called them jacks or cod at strike

[fishyman]

[kevinchen19870316]

no problem mate. lol i always do

[flathead]

[kevinchen19870316]

city's not far from the mouth of river though.

[pinkey]

Lol callum. id take sunken wall cod over 10cm city bream

[fishyman]

hey tim,

mate im havign a bit of trouble with your rod.

becasue its such a fast tapered thin rod the tip runner's tube is to small to go onto where it broke and if i tried to file it down so it would fit thered literally be no rod left.

so, you have two options.

1. i bind on a fly guide as a tip runner much like it was when i picked it up, this will be plenty strong enough and is actually thr trend at the moment in ultralight rods as they are light than tip runners.

2. i use a different tip runner, BUT it will not match

so its your choice mate?

[pinkey]

A fly guide sounds good. .

Thanks heaps no matter what happens with it Tom , anything is better thn it is now.

[fishyman]

Mack attack

cowfish

sorry if i have missed anyone feel free to post up your name and what time you will arrive at the ramp.

[pinkey]

sounds good tom, looking foward to it, and possibly meeting a few members.. The waters fairly rough around pinkenba/sunken wall so reckon it would be to tough to use surface lures?

anyone else wna come? .

[fishyman]

i am aiming to try and use plastics most of the time as i need to cut through a few packs so i can refine my collection

[Mack_attack]

who's going to use what? If we can make it(which i hope we can) i'll be targeting cod mainly but will there be any bream anglers?

[fishyman]

ill be breaming it up for a good while then ill target cod with some HB's

[pinkey]

Ive only got 2lb and 4lb so itl probly be bream for me, but ive got hardly an sp's and 2 bream hb's so ill probly get owned by a cod a some stage

[Mack_attack]

aslong as you have a heavyish leader, say 12lb, then you should be able to land cod up to 40cm pretty easily but probably need a heavier mainline for some of the bigger guys.

[fishyman]

i got some SP's you can use Tim.

and ill have some heavier leader hopefully by sunday if i can get away to a shop tomoro

[pinkey]

sweet. Ive got $20 and i wana put it to good use on a nice lure , thinking of the px, but they arnt the best around brisbane, so might go with something else.

[fishyman]

surface or diver??

[flathead]

What do u guys reacon the water clarity will be like at the sunken wall and further into the river very dirty and fairly fresh i prosume do u think that would shut the fish down abit?

[pinkey]

diver probly. or maybe some non gulp placcies. or even surface plastics..

Last time we went there, it was still very clean. We got heaps of strikes in the murkier water when the tide started coming in.

Doesn't look like we'll be able to get there for this one:(

Ask any questions about the place and I'll try to help you to the best of my ability:)

Pinkey: I'd probably go for a Smith Camion DR or an SX48.

[pinkey]

unlucky cowfish, nextime. u know behind all thoose trees theres a little lagoon/creek thing, have you tried it? can u acces it ?

[fishyman]

Yeah we have. It is really shallow for most of the way, but in one of the deeper areas, we did manage to hook a decent Bream, but that's it. We tend to just stick to the main river.

[kevinchen19870316]

i got some hits on my new lures today at boggy creek so i'm very confident with my lures now. i got 1 hook straightened b4 i even raised my rod to strike( well, i cannot even raise the rod when the drag's going like hell). then i throw another newly bought lure and got a big hit, then another hit and anohter b4 a cattie's landed. lol BTW, the two lures i used was 65mm and 80mm ones. so those fish r not small

[pinkey]

oh ok cool. My fav places to fish are little shallow areas that no one thinks of fishin, but anyway, did you pick up ya fish casting paralel to the sunken wall or diaganal or straight out, in the boat callum got allmost all his fish no more than 1m out from the wall. Apart from his flatty .

[Cowfish13]

I usually just cast straight out. The current is usually strong enough to bring you lure around to about 30 degrees to the wall which is good enough and you won't get snagged too often

[kevinchen19870316]

i was fishing the boggy creek so just cast as far as i can

[fishyman]

well im lookign foward to wetting a line and hopefully catching my first bream and cod on my new real.

and who knows that 40cm bream could be just around the corner

[Dan23]

I'm still keen guys. Can't decide what outfit to use though. I think I'll fish heavy though. Would be nice to get a decent Cod.

I'll fish 40lb main leader at first, then drop down if I can't get hits lol:laugh:

[kevinchen19870316]

ur going too far dan

[pinkey]

ima be going 4lb mainline with 6lb leader, so yeah bream but cod up to 40cm should be capable .. i duno for some reason i feel like surface fishing, ill find a shelted spot.

[ellicat]

Het fellas, I went down to the ramp at Colmslie for quick look at the water late this arvo. There's alot of fresh in it. Very muddy looking.

Hopefully it'll clear a bit by Sunday. The incoming tide should help down that end.

Might pay to take some darker artificials.

[pinkey]

cheers ellicat... also casting where the fresh/dirty meets the clean water should be good. might make the fish less finniky.

[Dan23]

Hmmm, dirty water equals heavy leader equals massive COD!:laugh:

[ellicat]

I'll be fishing just downstream, so when I release those tiddler 40cm cod I'll tell em to swim up to you guys haha:P

[faulked]

i should be fishing near by ill drop in and say hi guys
