Caboolture river

So I went up to have a look at the Caboolture river today, just mainly a look but did take a rod and cast net. I'm hearing there are a few prawns starting to show around the traps so didn't want to go unarmed. Well it was fairly uneventful till I was nearly ready to go home when I noticed a few things jumping I thought were prawns so prepared the net and went over. Just as I went to throw, I noticed they were fish. O well, what can go wrong right. So I threw anyway and came up with this lot.

well that was a mistake, took about an hour to clean that lot out.

frozen jack bait dids. nice work. hey when did you learn to throw a cast net?

He’s Master of all the Dark Arts Steve:matrix:

Was thinking of Arun up there in a day or so

Are they all herring ?

Nice throw, have to be happy with that! This one time, at band camp, I did similar over a school of catfish eels, ahhhh, those were the days.
How was the river, I hear good things about structure, just hard things about numbers

Lots of numbers in the net Bri

Nudgee beach had good prawns this morning several guys getting their limit.
Be careful of the green zone though.

Bang that up on FB Tony, grab a sixy and watch the fun lol, they are frothing atm over where the prawns are or are not

I wasn't all that impressed Brian, but maybe I just not seeing the things I should.

Heaps of blue bottles up here yesterday. And plenty of prawn fishos in the Pine by the Bruce the other day.

nice haul Dids ,yep nothing worse than the cleaning side of that and leaving a couple in there before you store it .

Since I switched to a 3?4" mesh, the net cleaning is much easier when I get a lot of small stuff.

Couldn't been to far from the highway Tony

Nearly spat me beer out did good job done that one day with and a big heap of toads nearly burnt the the lot

I get decent results between Monties Marina and where the road comes beside the river.
Further up than that I get less action.
A few good rock bottoms to the river that don't really show on the sounder but hold good fish.
