Burrum meet and greet

[Chamelion]

Hi all,

Been holding this report off until I could get some photos from my deckie/best mate Jason.

Had a fantastic time, good company, good food and the fishing wasn't bad either. Thanks very much to the Chew crew for putting together the weekend. I've been using online forums for over a decade and none of the others come anywhere near close to this one and I think that's largely due to the 'management' teams efforts.

Friday - I hit the water solo about 1030am and went up the gregory in search of anything that would hit my lure. It was a very slow day for me, only managing to wrangle in the one GT in the early afternoon. It put up a good fight on the 10lb gear though!



Saturday - Coaching commitments had me busy until after lunchtime and my deckie was still in transit. So we only managed to get on the water for about an hour in the afternoon. Managed a few hits, but couldn't get the hooks set.

Sunday - Got on the water about 8am after I slept in and we started throwing our lures at just about anything that looks fishy. Turned out our first spot had already been fished clean by Rakey! Jason still managed to pull in his FIRST EVER bass from this area. He was quite chuffed!



Nothing more for the next hour or so before we hit a nice peice of structure and pulled in 6 bass (3 a piece) from the one tiny spot over the course of about 30 minutes.


















Couple of hours later Jason managed to pull up tight on his first ever lure caught jack using a 10cm xrap twitched over a shallow rock bar.



Monday - We headed down the sandy straights and into german creek. It was a pretty tough day, but we both managed a nice grunter each (Jason 50cm, me 47cm). Missed a few good hits though! Couldn't locate a single ball of bait anywhere in German or nearby. Finished the day off casting around in 4ft of water. Got all excited when I had a big hookup with a blistering run, but it was clear pretty quickly that it was a stingray. >.<
Stop for a quick sound around the drop off just out from river heads beacon, HEAPS of bait and some nice proper fish arches on the sounder, but we didn't have time to drop down on them, Jason was already running late and had a 3 hour drive ahead of him to get home.













Looking forward to the jackoff now.
