Took the day off yesterday and went fishing up at Fishing Creek up past Yeppoon.This place is yak heaven with with at the moment clean water in the shallow gutters and sandbars everywhere at the mouth.
Wandered along with the 5wt down towards the ocean before encountering a gutter too deep to wade so waited for the tide which turned soon after arriving.Having seen a "small" threadfin of 2ft long caught back up the bank i was pretty keen.
Not much happened til about a quarter tide in when a school of small queenfish moved in to the gutter i was in,after which two hours of mayhem followed with missed strikes and follows.The end result was 8 fish for me (all released) and two for my mate who was lucky enough to score a 64cm dusky flathead which took the spoon he was throwing right at his feet.
All in all a great morning and a spot ill be returning to if i can get the boss to fly my new yak up to Yeppoon next time im back up here
