Crab Baitn'
Got a hot tip on some sambos in a local river yesterday so I took Baronvonchickenpants on a Mud Crab Bait chasing session.
After a few dropped fish Jordan finally landed this fish.
2.5kg, not a bad fish!
I landed the first fish though, using a 1-2kg 7'2" custom on 4lb braid - not a bad first fish for that rod! 2.5kg fish on 1.8kg line - took some work to get it to the boat too!
Great morning out and should get some good muddies in a few weeks time.

Crab bait! cracks me up how you guys are so fussy with what you eat.
Good fish like that would have been cleaned, skinned, minced and fried up into delicious fish cakes by now if it was in my fridge!
book me in for some crabbing sometime soon Ben.

I do anyway.... The local paper guys think it's ok to call them every expletive they are allowed to print in their quest to have NSW Fisheries reinstate commercial decimation of them...Alex wrote:great fish, awesome fun on the light gear hey!!

Gonna go chasing blackfish on thursday, will be pulling on a crusty old terry hat and sitting low in the boat grunting at others motoring past....
But only after hooning around and chasing salmon at first light :P
Dane, this was at the river mouth where I took you and Andrew January this year.
I just got back from three days fishing at hervey bay ... didn't catch anything huge ( something massive took my live bait, but stripped the hooks with it ). We caught well over 100 fish over the three days, half of them were bloody pike though, about 30 squire ( none legal, but averaged 30cm ), 15-20 Happy Moments, and a bunch of other random stuff. Only decent fish we kept and ate were a Grass Sweetlip, Tusk fish, and a Coral Trout.
I was fishing with 6lb line, so the squire and pike were still fun, although the pike were costing me a SP every catch or two by eating the tails.
The pike would bite absolutely anything, soft plastics ( even 2/3 eaten ones ), hard body, slugs, squid, pilchards ...
