Family Creek Fishing
Submitted by Sean8 on Tue, 2010-01-12 20:30
After the creek session I had with Brad the family was pretty keen to get into one of the creeks to see what its like as they have only been blue water fishing. Well they were not disappointed...We headed out early to catch the tides and after a cup of coffee and a morning snack the little fellas "helped" me get some bait. I wasn’t expecting anything for about an hour but chucked out a bait anyway. 10 minutes and the rod was screaming, I picked it up set the hook and to my surprise a barra jumped out the water, a great way to start. We had a red hot session landing 2 Barra 1st one 84 cm my pb and the second landed by my wife a large 91cm. Needless to say it is no help at home with the wife having a larger pb Barra than myself.
As the day progressed we got an additional 4 Thready's, 2 blue salmon, 2 queenies and a bream. A good result and a decent mixed bag.

Pikey bream
Northern species of bream you get them around the top of australia. They used be in plague proportions in Darwin estuary's at a certain times of year

great work
and the fact that your missus is ahead of you in the barra pecking order will only drive you harder to get an even bigger fish - pressure is a great tool if utilised properly!
