Sooty Sessions

Hey guys,
Had another awesome session today on some of our local Sooty Grunter. This is the second time I have visited this location and I must say that it is definitely one of the nicest if not THE nicest and picturesque locations I have ever fished.
These fish fight extremely hard in the skinny water and a firm set drag is the only way to coax them from the rocky terrain. We found that as soon as a fish was landed (or lost) from a particular pool, the bite would shut down and we needed to move to the next pool.
Site casting to these fish was insane. More often the not, we would fire in a cast at a fish but then 3 or 4 others would come out of nowhere and fight over it.
Ended up with 7 in total.

Gotta love the sooties...geez they go hard. Lived in Far Nth Qld for a few years and loved chasing them in the gin clear creeks up there. Where abouts were you fishing?

Love it, worked up at Argyle (Barra farm) for a bit and often chased sooties (western sooties) and had the same problem, had to keep walking upstream to get more fish
