Hey all
Went out early this morning in inner woods bay at 4am with Liam. Liam started flicking around plastics while I was throwing a G Splash Popper.
After a short amount of time the Trevally started to hit the surface hard and that's when this 55cm Trevally smashed my popper. After a tough battle I released her unharmed.
10 more mins down the track hooked another 40cm trevally on the G Splash. After that fishing died down a bit, we wore just getting small trevally.

We decided to head back down river and fish weed beds for bream with a clear StrikePro popper. Liam and I both got a few small bream around the back of Goat Island. Then I landed a whiting and a tailor on the same lure at once!, Pretty funny. Called it a day from there.
 
Catch ya
Thanks, Sam   

G'day

Travelling to a familiar location ment expectation levels were running high, our destination was the well known Noosa River. The weather had been pretty average over the last few weeks so when good weather presented itself we did'nt have to think twice. The holiday rush had just started so that ment fishing would be tough, but we stuck to it and came up trumps with some nice fish. Our plan was to fish offshore early in the morning while the weather was calm then move into the estuary and fish down deep for Bream, Cod and hopfully a few Red ones.

Offshore
We opted to use plastics including the ever popular Berkley 5inch Jerkshad and 110mm Squidgy flickbaits on 3/8oz tackle tactics jigheads. The 1000 Sustain and 2000 size Heartland reels on the 1-3kg rods were proving to many bustoffs, so we changed to the heavier 5-8kg come to me sticks and we started landing some good fish including Snapper,cod, Parrot fish, and a few solid Sweetlip. We also had alot of fun on a school of 2kg+ tuna in the bay with white flickbait proving to be the go to lure.

Estuary
Fishing was tough which ment we found most of the fish congragating down deep and tight under structure so light leaders and good casts were essetial. We fished deep with plastics durning the day and surface lures late in the afternoon. Most fish were caught off moored boats, bridges, canals and rockwalls where louis nailed a respectable 34cm
to the fork bream. we encounted a few frustrating bustoffs at our favourite cod spot, plus the canals and moored boats accounted for some whitting and flathead that are barely worth mentioning.

Cheers boys.

Hey James here.
Went out at 4 on Saturday and got a few nice flatties. Hugh had got some new super PE braid the day before so he was keen to try it out. We started in the frying pan and there was fish jumping everywhere. I put on my hawk popper and started casting. I landed one little bream. We decided to head to a different spot and try our luck on Gulp soft plastics; I had just bought some new 3 inch mouldy cheese minnows. We weren’t fishing for very long before Hugh landed a 60cm Flathead on a 3 inch Banana prawn shrimp. Not long after he landed that fish I was on to a 50cm Flathead.

Hugh left to go to work but I knew there was more fish to be caught, so I went back to the same spot as before and got two more Flathead measuring 52 and 53cm long! I hooked the biggest stingray I have ever seen. It was Massive. After Hugh got back from work we tried our luck again but weren’t rewarded.

Thanks James
