Fishing at last

Hi there,
After quite a number of weeks of being unable to wet a line, last weekend I finally managed to get out for a fish. I decided to chase a feed of whiting as it had been some time since we had tasted fresh fish.Di was even threatening to buy some fish , a real insult to any keen fisho.
I managed to score a supply of live blood worms and headed down to Woy Woy on Brisbane waters. The fishing was slow and many changes of location were needed. I could not locate a school of fish, just catching the odd one here and there,but slowly the numbers built up.
I ended up catching nine whiting and five bream. However, what they lacked in numbers was made up in quality, none of the whiting being under 35 cm and the largest went just under 43cm.
I am heading north next weekend to Monduran for two weeks and hopefully I can be as successful with the barra.

Good luck with the barra mate, hard to beat a feed of whiting. My old man down in Hervey Bay caught a feed not long ago which always earns a few brownie points with the Boss!

Quality whiting Mick, you camping up north?

Might try and come up for a fish and a beer Mick...not necessarily in that order..:)

Nice tings Mick. Good luck with Mondy.

good to see you back on the water mick. and good luck with the barra
the flatties are startin to fire down here, we'll have to catch up again soon

cheers clint

Some beautiful whiting there Mick...very hard to beat a feed of fresh whiting. When you head to Monduran, try the shallower, warmer weed beds rather than the free standing timber. We are in desperate need of some warm weather to get them firing again

Hi Chewy, would be great to see you again. If you need somewhere to stay give me a call - I will be on my own this trip as Di can't make it so there will be plenty of room in the cabin.
Cheers, Mick

Hi Clint, yes it is good to be out again. I have only had about three outings since we fished the lake back in June. I usually start looking for a big flattie about late Oct. so I will check things out when I get back from Monduran and organise a day.
Cheers, Mick

Thanks for the tip Lukeyboy83. I believe the area is copping some heavy rain again so I expect things to be tough but I don't know when I will get another chance so will just have to make the best of it.
cheers, Mick.

Nice Whiting Mick, good job mate.

Been getting any on poppers?

not yet Jeff. I haven't had a chance to try them yet. Will have a go when the prawns come on and there are a few more about.I have just received my new shimano stradic to put on my new Egrell s2 and am busting to christen the new outfit.Have been tied up for most of the past couple of months with my 93 year old mum in and out of hospital but things are seeming to settle down a bit now so I am hoping to be a bit more active again
Cheers, Mick
