Ross (Meoldchina) & I finally caught up this morning.
Plan was to meet at the Poona boat ramp at around 0700, (we were both there by O630, Quick intros and into it,

Tide was dead low on arrival so the launch involved a bit of a lug from the end of the boat ramp to the water :shock: and in no time flat ross was into some fish

We slowly made our way upstream and as we did, what started out as little more than a drain through the andflats opened out into a magnificent creek system with some very fishy looking water. Absolutely beautiful paddle.

Ross continued to pull fish here and there while I struggled to even get a look. Eventually, when I had just about given up and was just enjoying the paddle in this lovely spot a nice little lizard of 46cm ate my blue gill and Ross was kind enough to get a couple of action shots. thanks mate.

The day was wearing on and Ross had the long drive back to Brisbane so a quick cuppa on a sand bank then head back down stream..

Lunch in a little cafe in poona near the Ramp and served by a couple of lovely young ladies was the perfect end to a day in paradise. Thanks again Ross for making the effort to come up this way & hope you had as good a day as I did.

Good to read of an enjoyable outing Mick, as a matter of interest..when launching was it reasonably firm footing out to the drain or soft mud?

G'day Richo, thanks mate.

Pretty firm sand & yabbie bank right to the waters edge then it got a bit soft but not too bad.

Mate there is a fabulous caravan park/ camping ground there, right beside the ramp. Lots of shady sites and that creek really is the prettiest paddle i have seen in this area. There's goota be some serious fish in it. i will definately be going back there.

Great report

Very interesting system.

I don't take too well to sandflies, were there any there?

Certainly looks like a good spot for more exploring, I suppose there was a lacking of stink boats there?

Cheers
