QLD Susan River Hervey bay

With the smaller tides the River has cleared up bigtime, so its back to lure fishing.
Threw a few small shallow diving Hard bodies at some rock ledges that secured a small bream of about 25cm.
Saw a big school of something that kept wandering back and forth under us but no takers.
Headed down to the first island and started flicking some plastics into the Mangroves just as the tide was turning to go out and bagged this lizard.

Alas we had to be back in town so didn't get to fish more of the runout tide, reckon there might have been a few more to be had.
Oh well there is always next time. ;-)
Someday I'll have money, money isn't easy come by, by the time its come by, I'll be gone!
PB: Flathead 84cm, Blue Salmon 66cm, Jew 48cm, Grunter 45cm,Trevally 43cm, Bass 40cm, Coral Trout 38cm, Mangrove Jack 30cm, Bream 25cm, Fingermark 20cm

Nice lizzard there.The Susan is Generally a good place for flathead but I usually fish the southern bank from the stockyards towards Fraser.
Weren't chasing that BIG LIZZARD that has taken up residence up near Beaver Rock were you?
Cheers,Richo.
