hookerbruce Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Over the past week fished a few times for mixed results. Home Valley Station fished the Pentecost river from the shore. Cast lures for no result then tried using small dead mullet one reasonable missed hit and some catfish. There for two days only one 80cm barra caught by another camper. Then headed to Lake Argyle on way found a fishy river so camped near the river for a couple of nights. Had a few sessions interrupted by sightseeing caught about 10 legal sooty grunter kept 4 lots of small ones and spangled perch. Also caught this sleepy fish just under 40cm a new specie for me. Had a fish at the boat ramp on the Victoria River near Timber Creek today no fish will try again in the morning. Have to keep an eye out for crocs every where up here.

DaveBM Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Looks like a cross between a catfish and a flathead. I hereby dub it cathead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so they are speedy critters when hooked! Fil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
