    Default Townsville Threadies

    I secretly raided Pete's (Robbo80) camera after the weekend as I wanted to show you some of the nice Threadies that have been getting around Townsville Beaches/Estuaries after all the rain...

    There have been several proven reports form around the area that these Salmon as well as the Barra's are still cruising the creek mouths & sand flats chasing the bait (mullet & prawns) that have been pushed out of the rivers & creeks by the freshwater

    These few were caught recently in a morning lure session....Not bad at all hey!!

    Very nice indeed............I wish our creeks and rivers down here looked as good as the water you've got there.

    Some good tucker there!

    Hey Tim, As mentioned I stole the photos of Petes camera so I am unsure of all the finer details...

    Fingers crossed Pete (Robbo80) jumps on here in the next couple of days, to let us all know

    Excellent work Robbo and looks like....go HALCO!!

    Cheers - Benno.
