Trip date: 5th October 2014
Participants: DeeCee
Launch Site: Old Bridge Yandina
Destination: Maroochy River - North then South
Conditions: Glassy, tide going in then going out, little to no current, sunny
Keen Angler Program: none
Decided to hit the river today after hitting EMD yesterday, arrived and launched near the old bridge, tide was high so decided to head upstream and come back when the tide turned. I paddled up river casting at every shaded snag or into every deep hole with no luck. Had to get out a couple of times and drag the Prowler over some rocks, tide wasn't as high as it could be...seemed to be an awful lot of surface litter around.
Went up as far as I could be bothered casting at anything I thought may be hiding fish with no touches so decided it was time to turn around as I could see the tide had changed, a couple of trips over the rocks on the way back I arrived at my launch spot with no fish yet, decided to head south for a while and see if the luck changed, around the second corner the rod bent over and a fish was on, a short time later a flathead was landed, pic taken and returned to the water. Paddled south for a couple of km's with no hits and needed to stretch my legs so pulled up the yak on a corner and did 10 minutes of land based flicking, a couple of hits but no hook ups was the result.
Headed back to the launch spot and packed it in around 10,00am
