Family Creek Fishing

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.

well done to the family.Looks like there was some nice fish taken by all on board, the bream surprised me as i didnt know you get them that far up north.

I know exactly how you feel about being out done by the wife, you can styill take part of the credit as you got the bait and you took her to that spot so realy it is your fish , your wife was just helping youLaughing

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

Tue, 2010-01-12 22:08

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!

Nice work there Sean, good to see the better half getting into it as well.

Much easier to get out when everyone in the house has 'barra fever'.
