All the fish have gone to Mud waiting for @AUS-BNE-FISHO and @Kat to turn up tomorrow 😏

Hamish is doing the report (he is so good at them) but I only just sent him photos and I lost count of the amount of undersize Squires we caught.  

Yes Hamish it is definitely a juvenile Samson

Very generous of you Brian, to not rape and pillage the ocean as is your usual wont. Although the absence of a report from the Greg/Hamish/Kat expedition makes me a tad dubious about their success as well.

Hamish and I have both asked about last night. No reply.  He either found a new spot that he doesn't want to share or...  ? 🐱

Hey James77
Welcome to the forum - hopefully you'll be able to dig up some information on Coochin using the search function on the top right hand side. 
Here is a video I found that may help you, seeing as though I've never fished Coochin before. 
Cheers Hamish

Ok, so who is a definite for tomorrow (Friday)? @ellicat, @Cavvy, @AUS-BNE-FISHO, @Kat  Weather looks good early for Mud. Back up plan would be to fish the port. We can fish there on the way back in anyway. I would like to be back at the ramp around 1pm if that suits everyone so I can get the boat and any fished cleaned in time for a few football enhancers before the NRL/AFL finals kick off in the evening. I have plenty of bait and tackle, and Brian would be in the same boat (pun intended) so deckies should just bring favourite rod or rods (2 maximum), food and water, sunscreen and hat. Hamish, if your dad is not coming fishing, he could save himself a lot of time by dropping you off at my place, which is a lot closer to home than the boat ramp, if he is ok with that.

Hey Kat,
There is plenty of parking at the ramp and it is free.
Bring your own rod or 2 and your own tackle. 
It wouldn't hurt to bring live yabbies. They would be good for bream etc but I guess its up to the skipper. 
 

I am a definite for tomorrow 🐱 - I have never been to the port of Brisbane boat ramp so was wondering if there is parking and if so how long and is it paid/metered parking?
Also presume from message above I shouldn't go yabbie pumping this avo?  
Also I am very grateful for being taken out as deckie - and can pull up the anchor!
And don't bring my tackle to save room - or do bring it?
Cheers Katrina
 
 

Oh how domesticated! Anyway you forgot to add scaling and filleting a huge number of really big fish 

Nice one.
We have put in for the grants.
Good stuff. 

A mate put me onto this eNewsletter that comes from Department of Agriculture and Fisheries every month. Looks like a good way to stay informed about any upcoming changes to rules and regulations, and some handy info on other topics that would interest most fishos. I have subscribed. Here is a link https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/news-media/newsletters/catch-news in case anyone is interested.

Put the legs through another morning of torture yesterday. As always the walk in was very pleasant, no wind,temp down and no rain, better than being stuck in bed whinging about a sore back. Now I can whinge about sore knees and hips to the wife, she pretends to listen😂
Anyway the fishing was great again,it was Lukes turn to catch a yella which made him very happy, my footprints were still on the ground from catching a yella last week in the same place.Talking about foot prints, the bank in some places was like quick sand, I had a fish on and tride to skim it over the weeds and as I tried to turn I lost balance and had to throw the rod and do a star dive, lucky it was a soft landing and only lost a bit of skin off my new knee. I got roasted when I got home and told to wake up to myself and act my age.So might have to look for shorter walks.
Anyway as I was saying the fishing was great again we managed 60 bass all on spinnerbaits.

Oh. I forgot you and Hamish were coming! Yes, definitely need to factor that in. Although, we are going to some of MY marks.
