Ningi Creek Fishing Report

[mangajack]

Nice report Ron.
I went into Ningi Creek last saturday for a 6 hour session.
Water was the cleanest I have ever seen it in there.
Worked over the rocks upstream for very little result, then headed up and fished some deeper areas another km or so upstream.
Raef got a lovely flatty about 60cm that went into the esky.
Did a recce for new ting banks whilst up there...in summer they will fire but currently they are dead with no feeding signs at all.
Did spot one big whiting about 40cm on one bank but it shied away when it heard the lure land 6 metres beyond it.
Came back downstream looking for new patches of rock....plenty to be had.
Got back to the main section of rock we fish and edged the boat amongst the bommies.
Plenty of fish in there but all were shy, probably due to the clarity.
Spotted one cod about 60cm and several jacks nestled in the rocks or travelling between them.
My tally for the day was 3 under size flatties and about 4 bream up to about a kilo.
Raef scored a few bream on top of the flatty in the esky.

Hopefully this rain will improve the water quality and the fishing might get back to how it usually is.

Come the warmer months I will be doing a lot of work on jacks in there now that I have found a lot more structure.

Morning Tony

You are right about the clarity of the creek at the moment, this bit of rain may discolour it a bit which will certainly help with the whiting, I am really interested to read about the areas you fish further up the creek than I venture, furtherest up I have been is about 800mtrs past the old fish hatchery site, some decent size rocks in the small channel prevented me from taking the tinny any further, it looks a real fishy place up there, would really need a yak to explore it, which you obviously have.

Thanks for the reply Tony, and good fishing.
