Don,t let it put you off. every dog has his day. Yours will come. Davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FletcherG1991 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 ye i know that but what really get's to me is that the carp are just sitting there and can't be stuffed to cross the river to me lol and would it be bass and/or ep that is crashing into schools of mullet ? or some other type of fish oh well ill keep trying i gotta get a bass eventually(i was down there every day for a week for 2-3 hours a day late last month for squat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkie Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 ye i know that but what really get's to me is that the carp are just sitting there and can't be stuffed to cross the river to me lol and would it be bass and/or ep that is crashing into schools of mullet ? or some other type of fish It's a tough little waterway, and being land based makes it even tougher. Carp won't take lures as a general rule. You sometimes see the odd one taken, but it's more fluke than anything. Those mullet are crazy fish. Half the time I reckon they're being spooked by their mates, or just jumping for fun. Have you been down there at dawn or dusk with surface lures? Also, if you aren't losing the odd lure to snags you're not getting close enough to the structure, whether it's snags or overhanging trees, or you're an expert caster. Good luck, Steve.

FletcherG1991 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) yep have tried morning afternoon dawn (went down that time today) dusk middel of the day for nothing anyway this morning i was fishing spinnerbait (and tricked them up with a SP to see if that would make any difference) i got down there at about 6 and came home at about 11 lots of fish jumping and one big surface smash wich i am sure was a bass this time (99% sure anyway) lots a spinnerbait and a surface lure in the last 2 days even tried burleying up carp to see if i could get any on the SP only a torise/turlte whatever there called also do carp jump ? i saw something huge jump about 3 time in a row all i could make out was that it had a redish back (it was a monster !) anyway lots of fish busting the surface not sure what most of them would have been (different to the schools of mullet) Edited November 28, 2006 by FletcherG1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abitfishy Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 At dawn and dusk, be careful of snakes too mate, red bellies in particular. Don't want to scare you, but better you be aware dawn and dusk at freshwater is a perfect time for them to be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FletcherG1991 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) ye ive been careful with them every little noise makes me stop walking lol turns out to be water dragon things and skinks 90% of the time those water dragon things attack your lures not good if you hook one Edited November 28, 2006 by FletcherG1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DV8 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I know you are probably a purist but when all else fails why don't you try bait fishing with shrimp or mudeyes or somthing like that. davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FletcherG1991 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 well i went down again today for nothing (although i did see some nice bream and what looked very much like an EP) casting spinnerbaits and surface lures ill try some tassie devils as igot a few lieing around that don't get much use Cheers, Fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
