Brisbane River 30/01/2011

After another donut at Mondy on Friday and then rain on Saturday morning decided to head home early and try the river on Sunday. After the floods I was thinking it would be another few weeks before the river would be fishable again but heard of a few reports of bream in some of the usual spots. With a good 15 knot southeasterly blowing, we fished the southern rock walls.
Ended up with 6 bream in the 26 to 28 range and a couple of just legal tailor.
The suprise of the day was my first Jack at 37cm on 6lb leader and 4lb mainline.

Nice work.

I was wondering how long it would take for the Brissy River reports to start up again.

Cheers,
Roo.

Thanks Steve.
They sure do smash the lure. The first run was hang on and pray particularly on the bream gear.

Well done mate and great to hear from you again. We were starting to worry as a world without a callop just doesn't seem right.
