Thats what fishing is all about - an adventure, you don't have to be the first one there but to discover some new water is exciting. Martin

Today Jack and I headed up into the everglades, which is the top end of the Noosa River system, all freshwater.
We took the kyaks in the boat, so we could quietly explore a few small creeks, and get into areas that are too shallow for boats. We had hoped to find bass and possibly mangrove jacks, and barra were secretly thought of, but today was not a day for the fish, we had no fish show an interest all day! But just being out there was great and this area is pristine, birdlife, plantlife, its what documentaries are made of. Apologies for the quality of pics but dropping the camera in the creek a few weeks ago didnt do it any good. Time for a new one I think. Jas |

Only been up that river once, and that was too long ago. It is a fantastic part of the world with plenty of photo opportunities. Been hearing of barra up there. They are down the gold coast in the Logan, Albert, Coomera and Nerang, but not common. Does anybody know how they got there? Speculation as of the ECO PARK up the Albert having it's barra lakes overflow during flooding a few years ago. I was told by somebody that these were the farmed barra from the fish research station on Bribie Island and were released by the staff after they finished with their research. Martin

yes verlon great place to visit....fishing or just sight seeing.
Darby, will find out soon what its like, no reason why stock cant get into it during big wet seasons, and some may get stuck in dry times..........which hopefully means they get bigger!! Big area to cover though so it will be a 2 day stint sleep over and dragging kyaks across to cover all of it. Even if theres no fish its going to be a good experience..............jabiru, brolgas,swans and heaps of others flew overhead in that direction yesterday..........untouched world in there, even the ranger knows of no body incl himself to have really explored it..........No doubt plenty have though. Nothing is sacred any more. Jas |

Well I got some nice bass friday arvo..........2 well above the 40cm in a new spot I thought id checkout, made even better as they were on my lures.
My old camera died after dropping it in the water, so I took my big camera out, got some nice pics but too big to download!.........got me buggered how to work out the downsizing thing. Bought a new waterproof camera for my kyak yesterday and went exploring a section of the Mary river, 2ND CAST...got smoked into snags...lost my lure. 3 MORE DECENT HITS BUT NO HOOK UP THEN IT WENT QUIET! So we decided to explore further................paddled and walked and climbed over debris for several ks, the creek was very shallow, ankle deep, and in some sections knee deep for 2 ks or more....... finally found some very fishy water but not a touch!!....BASS are so bloody hard to understand......(Im assuming they are all females!!!!!!) like some we all know...........when they are on they are on, but when they are not, nothing can tempt them!!!!!!!! Anyway all was not lost, a new area explored and a future trip planned with easier access next time round. Hopefully I can sort out the big camera to download the fish pics. This shot is an experiment, I had the guy in the shop set the camera up for me and he set it on the wrong setting......so my new camera shots are toooooooooooooo big also!! and cant download... so Ive reset it and taken a pic of my big camera screen to test if Ive got the right setting........bloody technology! but seems its all good now, but sorry no nice shots.

It seems as if you and Jack are having lots of fun in that creek. Do it as often as you can. Time lost away from the water can never be regained.

HI JAS, my camera also takes big photos so I crop them. When you "browse" while downloading, find the photo, open photo in "preview", above the image is "fix", open that then to the right is "crop". Click on that and a "square" will appear on the image. Manipulate the size and shape by the mouse and clicking on and dragging the borders of the square. Then hit "apply" over by the rifgt of the image again andclose the preview. If you want to keep the original image, copy and paste the image first and change the copy. My camera is an Olympus, but I think this works for all cameras because of the way the site was set up. I can down size on my work computer but can't on this lap top I use. Martin

Finally got out for a few hrs this arvo, and explored further into a creek, in an area I hadnt been to.
Fish were playing a bit hard to get, hiding up deep under the banks. I managed a dozen bass, tried a few different lures, so all in all a great arvo. One of my shrimp lures caught several fish before I swapped a few around to test them, all got fish. 90% of the fun in bass fishing is the location, just nice spots to walk around and enjoy for a few hrs. The first fish I caught took about 40 casts and 4 lure changes to get him, he was hiding behind a shallow log, everytime the lure came within his zone he would dart out and hit it, but not hook up. Eventually I put on a little 35mm lure I made, 2nd cast got him...........sometimes the tiny lures are the best. Gave a certain green/yellow spotted lure a run just to tease barneyminnow....(yes mate you and sticko will get one.........very soon............I think) Jas |

Great pictures Jason, also nice creek bass. That is the places I love to fish when I was younger. Knees won't hold up to creek fishing anymore.
In one of the pictures, were you balancing the fish for the picture or was that your sneaky way of giving us the finger? The best to Y'all, Verlon

thanks for looking guys,
WRAPPER, yes its a great area, the fish are not huge, but its only a small creek, most water is only knee deep or so. Arrobbo, My lures are kicking butt mate, some better than others, which is good, Im slowly getting half a dozen that will be a permanent design for myself....the bass and other species love the PRAWN.... .....will try your little poppers in this creek next trip. Verlon.......never thought of that! but it does look that way!........will make it more obvious next time Jeff...........will do my best to get fish on them for you mate......next few trips I will try other lures, cant help throw my own on, but plan to cover everyones lures throughout the season. look forward to seeing them, no rush i know what its like.

That last creek is a bit shallow for your dads lures Aidan, will take them next time Im in a bit deeper water I have no doubt they will work.
Should of taken them today, fortunately my work takes me past, many creeks and dams, so today I threw the kyak in the back of the ute and headed to work.............hard going at times deciding which creek to fish.......... had a spare hr this arvo and paddled into a nice creek............4th cast got smashed by a nice bass, 10 min later another, 2 min later another............. and dropped two beauties at the side of the kyak..... 2 caught were nice size fish other were small Then back to work, tough day at the office We have had bushfires locally, so the wallabys were along the roadside eating the green grass that furvived the fires. Got them all on a brightly colored lure I made..THE LORIKEET. Jas |

For years ive been driving over a bridge, looking at the water and wondering, whats around that bend!?
So pulled up at the roadside, pulled the yak out of the ute, and spent an hr between jobs exploring new ground. The first half hr was non eventful, and then I came across a nice deep bank, with a small feeder creek flowing into the main system, the bank was undercut, dark, and full of tree roots from a huge overhead tree. A bout 3 casts and I got a swirl under my lure, several more casts, and several touches but nothing serious..............Then all hell broke loose, halfway back on the retrieve I got smashed flat out by a nice bass that went 43cm and was fat..........The lure I had made was called pshyco, and it suited this fish! It hit like a freight train and line peeled out, spray/mist flew off the reel, Finally stopped it just before it reached the undercut bank. A couple of quick pics and released, few more casts and got another bass of around 37cm, then they went quite, with the odd bump just after the lure dived, but nothing serious. I paddled to shore and got out of the yak so I could get a few casts tight along the bank, hoping to pull another out...............3rd cast......a big bass of around 42cm...............released after mandatory photo shoot..............1st cast............another big bass low 40s............All on the one lure. I guess that ones a goer................And on the way home I grabbed a six pack of beer.............NOW THATS A FRIDAY ARVO......Jas |
