Title: Fishing
Post by: bert56 on March 10, 2014, 04:02:16 PM: Just wondering who will be attempting to catch fish this year?

I'm not sure I will bring much gear this year. I've been catching more crabs than I can eat for last 3 months and last week I picked up a 80 cm barra. Picked up is right wording, she was floating upside down still alive, I just gaffed her. She had a hook and mullet in her gut. I'll post photos when I can get the kids to help me.

There will be some monsters up there may even bring some shark catching gear and use someones winch to bing it in.

The wharf at Seisa is usually a good spot, just watch out for the 3m croc that patrols the area.

Also caught some nice fish off the rocks at Vrylia point [south end] and the river [north end] looked great but didn't have a cast.
