With only a few hours spare this morning I knew the weather was going to be a cracker so I loaded the boat up and hit mooloolah river. Car trailers were miles down the road but somehow managed a park. We started on our drift and I hooked up a small flatty first cast. Great start, Few more casts later saw the slightest twitch on my line and struck up came a 58cm flatty ( even better start). Along followed another 59cm flatty few minutes later. As the tide came in the water got really clear, could see the bottom in 5m of water so we moved down to a dirty water line with a very rocky bottom. After a few spirited casts my line went tight to a fish. It went crazy and went for a huge run, I have not had that much line taken in ages I was only using 5.5lb fireline exceed with a 6lb fc rock leader It was just full power and no breaks until it was buggered The only way I could get line back was chasing it with the bowmount. About 10 minutes later up popped a diamond shape from the depths. couldn't believe the size of it. A PB diamond for me a 12cm upgrade from the last!. These beasts fight very different to the regular GT,Bigeyes with come accross. After a few quick photos and a quick swim of the fish it was gone like nothing had happened. Kept casting to a couple of decent hits but not solid takes. Managed a few smaller flatties, bream and one ugly flounder not seen ones in yonks. But nothing was going to take the shine from the diamond for me . I came home a very happy camper!.

Went 62cm, I had a bragmat pic but it didn't upload will have to do it later. It took a 100mm bloodworm wriggler( a bit of a trev favorite).

Top stuff Adam,

They certainly are a special fish.
Craig has become a Diamond addict this year and I am not far behind him..
They fight hard and just have amazing colours.

Congrats on the new PB.

Good effort Adam! I have found the trevs prefer the wrigglers, all my trevs (mind you not many... hehe). have fallen to the humble wriggler!

Yeah for sure, they seem to love bloodworm and lava wrigglers. I find a fair few on 3" powerbait minnows in Casper clear and pearl watermelon but I don't like going more then 1/12th on them as they turn into bullets when they sink.

Not wrong, I also find the bigger weight jig heads split them and make them tear up the guts too.. the powerbaits that is!
