QUICK SALT FIX AT BYNOE

Had to have a salt fix so just spent a couple of days at Bynoe...although Wednesday night did take a bit of a toll because of the QLD win, after drowning our sorrows still managed to get on the water just after dawn.   Not much movement in the tides and we were trying out different spots ...but got fish...nothing to write home about except the one that got away...only about 80cm barra...but saw a lot of action in the creeks....just missed the rain, which may stir things up...but plenty of fish out there...we got the old seven species over Thursday and Friday..

There were a heap of small steelback salmon in some of the holes..

Plenty of small macs around..very slimy

Water got glassy....really great out there with a cool breeze

One only tarpon...

A couple of snapper

One of the smaller barra 

...and a few more barra....

saw some awsome shows in the shallows when some big fish, probably queenies or trevally were cutting through schools of larger baitfish...but did not hook up on anything...lots of small queenies and trevally on tiny bait balls....with luck those bait balls with join together and bring some bigger fish around.   One of the boys got an 80 plus mackerel in the harbour but we did not see any big ones, just the little slimy's.  Its been nearly three years since those big schools of Macs used to circle knife Island with the Tuna...lets hope those days are not far away.
