I promised Cheech some fresh bait for our next trip . So I took the net down to my favourite spot.My GOOD you beaut "Bob the net maker" net
I usually use my old much repaired net for bait,(but i gave it to my brother as he wanted to learn how to cast ).
I missed the top of the tide and knew that as soon as it got moving ,,, shut the gate!!! no bait.
Sooo, I took a throw right on the boat ramp:( :( :( as i was pulling it in I could feel the little pops as threads broke ,one at a time:'( :'( :'( .
Many small mends required methinks
High risk sometimes gets high reward, so a dozen mullet of various sizes went in the bucket.
couldnt risk another throw so I headed to Pinkenba ramp hoping some bait would be schooled up in the eddies beside the ramp.
I havent been there for twelve months and so was surprised to see that nearly the whole sandy beach area was covered in dead weed.
No way was i throwing my net in that
So i pulled on the waders and had a scout around and found a bit of sand that appeared clear of weed and had a throw or two, for no result, except for getting rotting weed in my net.
I have fished that area often and never before seen weed like that,there ,
or for that matter, anywhere else in the river.
Has anyone seen it before ???
So i went and had a look at Boggy creek but as i have never netted there or in fact explored it in daylight & I was not prepared to risk my net throwing blind.
I might have another go on the high tomorrow, but i dont like my chances in daylight with the water as clear as it is.
Can anyone give me some directions to a likely spot on Boggy where i wont shred my net as I wont have time to recce it myself.
Thanks in advance for your assistance
