whoops if I saw this yesterday, I could have come down for a fish with you mate, as I've got one of those rare free saturdays lol. Did you do any good?

[jeff f]

no good at all mate

heaps of weed, every cast cameback fouled with the shit

and the banks were covered in it

[Bommie]

Jeff was it the river weed or that hyacinth crap:angry: that's choking the river?, especially from the weir up

[DannyH]

I am going down at 10 am to hit the change of tide (11am). I will be the guy throwing the HBs just down from the bridge.

Hey guys,

Just letting you know, if this year is like last year, then the trend is that the bream are leaving the upper brissy river (the bigger ones anyways) and heading out to breed at the mouth of the river. Last year we caught heaps all spring summer then absolutely no bream on lures throughout winter....really sucks. The flatties are still around though, managed a 59.5cm flathead at colleges on 6lb and a SX40 last week and my mate got one at johnos rocks at 51cm yesterday. But yea, don't expect to many big bream for a long time round colleges/mt crosby lol

some farmers drag chains out around it and pull it up on the bank for feed for their cattle
