dirvin21 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 We've been trying to fish a lot lately aiming to get fish for the table without much success. Waking up from night shift we had an opportunity to head put for a quick late arvo session I told Amy we were doing a "sunset cruise". We decided to take a gamble and launch at Wauchope in the brackish. The fish have been few and far between I was shocked to land a bream on my second cast. It didn't take Amy long to break the doughnut either with a decent bream Fish for the esky, the fishing wasn't red hot but we were atleast getting hit and catching small bream, then I load up on a solid fish it played strange running into the deep was very excited to see a solid bass A beautiful 41cm fish which also adds bass to our einter species challenge, fish was quickly released Amy answered with a nice bream And a few flathead a couple of which found their way to the filleting table. We finished off the arvo with me making Amy a cocktail (minimal alcohol we're responsible boaters) And enjoying a beautiful arvo on the water Cheers for reading Dave 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Great job Dave and Amy! Last time I had a sunset cruise was in your neck of the woods! It was awesome, but I think I prefer your version 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Beautiful to see you young people getting life's balance right. Working hard in responsible jobs and enjoying your leisure time together. What better way than taking to the river for some quality time doing what you both love to do? As always, a great post accompanying the storyline photos. Keep on keeping on guys. bn 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 That’s awesome you 2. We were up at Wauchope around the end of June and had lunch above the river just up from the boat ramp. Looking down we could see some great Bream moving along in the shallow water below us. Now where’s the theory they move out to the coast in Winter to spawn. PS. Great photos as well. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Very nice. Fish for the table and some for sport, and a good sized bass as a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoods Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Thanks for the report Dave. Congrats on the mixed bag. How is the Boat Ramp following the floods?? And can you get down river past the bridge yet or is it still closed to boating? No need to fish further north now you can get em all up the Hastings.
