Great fish Neil. That cobia isn't that little either! What is the fish third down on the left in the first photo? Hamish

Nice work Ray, good to see some big bass!

Hi all Another quick report from me this week - I went out for a fish after school on Friday at a local spot. The trains were delayed on the way home so I didn't ride there until 4:30PM, but I didn't waste any time catching a few baitfish. I eventually got a couple poddy mullet, one of which went out on my line. It wasn't until sunset I got a bit of action, not on the fishing rod, but with the prawns. Being low tide and sunset, they were pretty thick for a short window, with about 3 every cast. I ended up just giving them away to another guy I see there periodically, he was pretty happy with them. It is worth nothing by about quarter past six the patch had disappeared. I got off the donut on my last cast with a catfish on a mullet and prawn combo. I left at about 6:30PM. No threadfin or jewies to be seen, so hopefully next Friday I'll have a bit more luck. Also it is worth noting over the past week I have been going out to a few local spots cast netting at night time, as well as sussing out a couple of new bait spots, none of which were particularly successful. Stats of Trip: KF Tide: 11:30AM, 1.8M, High, 5:35PM, .3M, Low (it was closer to 6:30PM). Moon Phase: 2.8%, New Moon, lots of run. Bait Caught and Used: Live prawns, anchovy, mullet. Tackle Used: Shimano Baitrunner 8000DC on Kmart Rod, 30 pound braid, 50 pound leader, size 3 snapper sinker, 6/o circle hook, barrel swivel. Fish Caught: Catfish Air Pressure: 1002 Humidity: 54% Overall Success Rate: 20%, beats staying at home Cheers Hamish

Good work Dino. Why aren't you allowed to tag the bass?

Good luck, you might be able to pick up a couple of spots from this video - Mudcrab Catch & Cook - Magnetic Island - YouTube

Good stuff Steve, looks like a good session. Did you try any livies?

Good work Steve. POB?

Nice muddies Neil. They'll make a good lunch either way.

Looks awesome!

Good work Dino, hope the thumb heals quick.

Good stuff Steve, that's a nice reward for going lures only.

Looks like a great session Brett and Kat, nice work.

Nice boat!

Good work Thorbjorn, those are some good fish.

Nice work Dino.

Nice work Neil, that looks like a neat set up.

Thanks Brett. I'll try some pellets in the berley as well. Thanks Charlie. Any report is a good report, thanks mate.

Looks like you guys still got on a few good ones today Ray, nice work.

Hi manga, I make a mix of wet sand, tuna oil, and breadcrumbs into fist size balls. I freeze them and chuck a couple in at the start of the session, it seems to help bring them all in to the same area. Thanks Steve. I have an Excel spreadsheet which has all the info about my past sessions. I have my favorite tides and moons to fish at some spots, but I definitely don't have it fully worked out..... Yet

Thanks Rebel. I probably could, it's a shame I don't eat the prawns. Yep, or give some away to Charlie.

Hi all This morning I snuck out for a quick flick with my cast net in hopes of catching a few Brissy River Banana Prawns. I slept in a bit more than I should have and ended up arriving at the spot just before sunrise, after a quick ride. I wasted no time and was pleased to catch four prawns on my first cast of the morning. I continued catching a couple each cast until the sun started shining on the river, which was when the prawns slowly started to trickly away into deeper water. I also had a rod out with a live prawn, which for the most part, was getting no love. I continued casting around the jetty in hopes of some more prawns, and eventually I found a few in a deeper pocket of water I don't normally cast at. I ended up increasing the tally into an amount that made it not quite satisfying but worthwhile enough for the two or so hours I put in. I left a bit after eight, after catching five prawns in one throw. There were plenty of casts I got nothing at all, and in hindsight I should have gotten up at 4:30AM instead of turning off my clock and going back to bed . Next time I come prawning here I will definitely bring some berley and get there at a more suitable hour. Stats of Trip: Tide: I prawned the last of the run out to the slack. Would've been better if I got there earlier. 1:30AM, 2.3M, High, 8:10AM, .2M, Low. Moon Phase: 74%. No moonrise or moonset while I was prawning. Bait Caught and Used: Live prawns, mullet. Fish Caught: Zilch, a bit more than a kilo of prawns though. Humidity: 67-77% Air Pressure: Around 1033 at my house when I left, dropping to 1027. Notes: Prawns are definitely best at this spot before sunrise. Next time wake up earlier. Overall Success Rate: 50% - no fish and will probably be my last fishing session for a few weeks because of school. Thanks for reading, Cheers Hamish

Looks like a fun day Andrew. Were there any new baitrunner reels on display that you saw?

Good work Dino, looks like it was worth going out.

Nice stuff Bob, those are some quality trout. Do they bite best in Summer or Winter?

Good stuff Ray, nice haul there.
