Stapo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just had a short flick with soft plastics this morning with a couple of mates. Nothing to serious but there's plenty of fish if your keen enough. Nice size flathead. One snapped my rod pulling it up the jetty. Landing net probably a good idea. We let them all go as I said nothing to serious today.

Stapo Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks Donna The fish are there and easy fishing from the banks and jetties. 8lb braid and leader two to three inch plastics. Anything with a tail will work ok Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUT Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hey Steve, You three must have been pretty desperate, that's all I've gotta say. Concentrate on your weed mate. Cheers Rut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnut Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Whats the water clarity like? Is the channel east of the bridge deeper or did the big wet just push the sand spit aside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapo Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Whats the water clarity like? Is the channel east of the bridge deeper or did the big wet just push the sand spit aside?A bit of both Brad. The mouth is wide but still plenty of sand east of the bridge. Plenty of water for the black fish to come in. Water still a bit murky but improving.

jenno64 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 That's a healthy flat chap...well done on braving the crap weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnut Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just checked the middle of the lake today- Coffee Brown... Place resembles a rubbish tip. Even saw a washed up syringe. On the flipside I understand why flatties are out in force - Creeks still have conciderable flow and poddies are out in there millions... I still have 3-5cm mullet swimming at the end of the street in 'whats left of the flood' puddle. Wish I took a photo of mullet fishing from my balcony during the flood peak On a side note. When the waters were still rising/Peaking & water quality not yet severely tarnished - (the end of our street in chittaway point was 4ft deep). And being isolated on the property with only a canoe to get up the road to the cars I did abit of hardbody cranking around the flooded margins of the lake early mornings.. To my surprise small (8-14cm) Bream were on the chew consistantly in what would otherwise be dry land! T'was abit of fun concidering no power for a week and isolation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well done Stapo. I was up there a week ago and was amazed how much brown fresh water was in the system. It needed the flush to widen the mouth of the lake. Can't wait for the colder water to arrive as it heralds the blackfish season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the lake mouth wont stay open for very long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
