Steve07 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Here are a few new species captured by fishing soft plastics from up at weipa cape york.All these were caught using 3 inch berkley bass minnows on a 10lb braid threadline outfit,and heaps of fun to target on this light tackle in very shallow water.The 4 fish in the photos include: TARPON; ESTUARY COD;BLUDGER TREVALLY AND GIANT HERRING.

The Iceman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 That would have been great fun Looks like you were fishing the flats Looks more like a bludger trevally than a golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregL Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Love the Jackson River, fished it a few times and the flats are always a high light. Did you hit the tunas just out the front? I agree with Andrew, Bludger trev. Goldens don't have the scoots on the tail and have big rubber lips. Well done, looks like a great trip!

robeebee Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 top haul mate good report and well done on a few new captures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Nice going Ringo . Sounds like a top trip mate. The only bad thing about doing a trip like that is trying to get back into the fishing when you get home. Took me about a month to even look at a rod and reel when I got home from the Cape last time - nothing compares to fishing the top end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve07 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 That would have been great fun Looks like you were fishing the flats Looks more like a bludger trevally than a golden You are probably right,looking at it again its probably not one of the goldens we got. We caught 7 species of trevally all up,which were mostly Goldens,bludgers,GT'S & some thumper diamonds around the 7 to 8kg mark. As to the longtail tuna & mackerel schools working the baitfish on the surface,that was totally awesome spinning metals at longtail tuna to 15kg,mack tuna,spotted & spanish mackerel up to 10kg,every morning for the 10days i was there.But we lost count of how many hooked fish we lost to big sharks,unbelievable! cheers buddy; steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
