Hot lure fishing in the creeks

Gavin Matthews and his brother John fished a week with me recently and had some awesome lurising action. 5 days were spent in the creeks and one day down the coast chasing pelagics. A variety of species were caught including barras, jacks, fingermark, cod, grunter, queenfish, blue and threadfin salmon, longtail tuna
In all, the biggest barra caught was John's 89cm fish. Some spectacular top water action was experienced with feeding barras sounding like a microwave full of popcorn! The action got better and better by the day with each of the last two days scoring over 50 barras and 30 odd fish of other species.
This is one of John's first barras on a top water lure. The bites make up for the lower hookup rate. Gavin with a nice cod which took him into the snags before being extracted. John managed to keep this tuna away from the sharks.....
Gavin did well to catch this jack from among mangrove roots on the high tide flat.











John with a harbour caught queenie. You don't have to go far some days to catch some great fish.

Newsflash!!!
We have availability due to cancellation for June 18 - 22 and 25 - 29
June is one of our best fishing months and is normally booked out 12 months in advance so if you are looking at coming up, check out these dates and send me an email wildfish1@bigpond.com

Steve Cooper's Trip

The Cooper family fished with us again this year, using 2 boats for 8 days. I had them for the first 3 days and then moved on to a new bunch of guys. In those couple of days some great fly fishing was had as well as some good beach side barra fishing.





Holy Jumpin Barramundi!!!
