well done guys - some good fish -

fluke, awesome well done on the grunter - now you know it works, just go do it, nothing frustrating about it from here - vary it up when they not on and you will get heaps - like most fish they don't react the same every day - I took a mate a few days ago and we caught grunter on 7 different top water lures, all vastly different in colour and all of the lures, except 2, were different sizes - hopefully this weekend will be going to where you caught that tagged leerie of mine, keen to go back as haven't been in a while - but congrats again, happy you had good success - lekke

You will be shocked when you see that river, it took a very direct path to sea, you will get Wet or crawl through the jungle to fish it now.

@smiley, it was a Strike Pro, a "finesse..........." can't remember the exact name. It is deadly and very versatile. Anything from a slow walk the dog retrieve to a fast skip works whether the water is flat or choppy.

ok so i have had a productive few outings over the last few weeks, it got to a stage where i stopped taking pictures of every fish i caught because it became monotonous..

i must have hit about 20 - 25 cob all on dropshot. but i was litterally living on redbull over these few weeks in order to fish the hours required when these fish were on and still work the following day.

i took a few mates with me on each occasion and they all managed to get a bump and a surprize fish

my weirdest catch was a steenbrass on dropshot (i never got the pic though so it was the one that got away) which i got onto the side of the bank and when i went to pick it up it kicked like hell and managed to free itself.. so bummed i never got the pic but next time,

a friend of mine got a piggy 2 casts before that also on dropshot which ran like a freight train!

see pics

Hey guys. Had some fun in ur area last night. Just hit the river mouth and got some gurnards on paddle tails and saw some leerys chasing but were to far away from me. Seems the winds up but will give it ago anyway.
Tight lines

Arvie session today had a lot more action. Checked some BUssssss gurnards but water was just to shallow to fish the lures I had.
Managed some of the smaller ones again as I started fishing

Haha. XTC. Signal is so K@K here I can not post. Being trying and I see its gone threw the same time and a double up

Besides the gurnards XTC I got into those leerys from yesterday. Got them from the right angle this time and ambushed them. Just before dark they followed their route and I was ready. Dam waited long enough. Around the mid 50s fish.
