After years of trying, I finally caught my first tagged saltwater fish yesterday.
The weather turned sour so I instead of launching at Burnett Heads Marina, I put in at Strathdees on the Burnett River and fished up around Kirby's Wall.
Trolling hardbodies and tossing Prawnstar Juniors produced a chunky flathead and a stack of estuary cod, including the tagged fish.
It was only a small estuary cod of 38 cm but still a first for me.
Turns out it was tagged by people that I know and it had been in the same stretch of river for about 9 months and grown around 7cm.
I put him back to do a bit more growing.
Will post some photos of the trip tomorrow morning.
