queensland River session Fri/20th Report

[Beefa]

Launching the yak from Colsmlie Reserve in the morning plan on trolling my way down to Bulimba in search of a flatty or 2 I need a new PB and I know it's there. Then I will most likely peddle over to Bretts to throw a few SP's a round for a cod or 2 perhaps.

Anyone is more than welcome to tag along.

Goodluck mate, that 60cm flatty was a good fish you got the other day, looking foward to seeing you beat that .

[fishyman]

i am on holidays now, hmmmmm tell ya what, if im not doing anything ill see if dad wants to drop me and the hobie (i feel lazy) down tomorrow morning,

what time you launching? also what time do you reckon you would finish?

[tomca]

Fishings a bit slow around Jindalee at the moment. Looks like your part of the rivers producing. If I can motivate myself I might head out from Brekky Creek and try that stretch.

Just look for the Moss coloured Hobie Outfitter(2 seater) with one bloke in it wearing a AFO cap Tomca.

I got a 61cm specimen the other week mate so looking forward to topping that plus I reckon the one that busted me off was bigger than that again but lost it yakside

All in all a quiet day 1 flatty at 55cm(couldn't get it all in the photo) and 2 small cod all taken on a SX 60 beautiful day for it until the rain hit mid arvo...very cold.

All fish swam away at their own free will

hahaha nice one mate

[Terry H]

that some water in the cockpit? is the ride usually that wet?

I'm assuming it was relatively flat conditions out on the river yesterday?

Of course, there's water in the mirage drive hole in my revo, but not usually m uch water anywhere else. Just wondering about the outfitter:)

Nice fish mate better than sleeping + trying to study

Terry if you have a look at the photo with the flatty you can see how dry it is water just covers the lock down turn dials,this photo was taken with just me in the outfitter with my eask up front and a few kg's of weights in my dry bag (nice dry ride) but the photo with the cod was taken later in the day and I had another mate out with me. The outfitter is only rated to 204kg so when you have me at the back(120kg:blush: :laugh: ) then throw another bloke up front you are pushing capitcity then throw some gear in it a small esky you do at times get a little wash back but when I'v got the wife with me and little gear it's a dry ride. I've figured out it's all about weight distrubtion in the outfitter.

There's been some flatty's getting around the river lately which is great to see.:laugh: :cheer: :woohoo:

[Terry H]

Ah fair enough mate:)

Cheers for the response.

[username_taken]

that's awesome work Beefa, will definately have to get out on the river with you some time really soon!

Sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon. Nice flatty. Good to see the cod let go to grow into a future FOTM.

Forget the water in the yak Terry - look at the leg. The stripe gives me the idea that it should have measuring marks on it (like a tape measure) - would be easier than putting the fish on the plastic ruler:woohoo: :laugh:

haha nice one. Make sure you stretch out the pants when you draw on the measuring marks, saves having to stretch the fish when measuring

[MichaelJ]
