river sesh

[jakhunta]

Went fishing with devilfish on Friday night in very windy conditions between the mouth and boggy creek with live herring . I hooked up to something big that only lasted a few seconds as my braid failed and snapped must have had some fraying some where, very dissapointing . I will be checking my gear a bit more carefully in the future prior to heading out. My mate then lost a big fish after a bit of a fight but this time the hook pulled , needless to say he was very pissed at himself. Both of us learnt a couple of good lessons, that is never become to complacent with checking your fishing gear. I would like to think we hooked a couple of threaddies but unless you see em its all speculation. The night wasnt a complete waste I ended up with a 38cm river squire and enjoyed having a fish anyways.

Nice work mate, what you get the luderick on?

[jakhunta]

I got the luderick with a square hook (cast net).:laugh: The second one Ive pulled out of thet stretch. I think anglers target them with green cabbage weed. I returned it to live another day because I heared there not that great eating. Does anyone on the site know if they are good table fair?

[Cowfish13]

I've heard that they can be good from clean waters, but due to their eating habits, they can have a muddy taste. From the river, might be best to release them :dry:

A few good fish and stories:woohoo:

Myself and Planetfonz were out that way too on friday night.. we were sharking though.. got one good run.. nothing else much happened..

[jakhunta]

I think we spoke to you guys at the whyte island ramp.As you guys were coming in we were heading out.

[planetfonz]

yeah that'd be us... tired and dejected! good to hear u had better luck than we did..

we almost got cleaned up by the moreton ferry wake while cast netting on the flats at poo pipes, second time for that.. that was the most exciting thing that happened

[jakhunta]

I dont know how wet you guys got i wish i had brought a decent raincoat. Wasnt real heavy but just enough to piss ya off.
