Creeks coming alive!

The creeks are once again coming to life as the water is warming with summer fast approaching. There has been some good barra and jacks taken on a mixture of live bait and lures, with this 51cm brute (pictured below) nailing a Suruna 110. The fingermark have been thick on the snags and rock bars during the neap tides, with 35- 40cm being the average size. We had an interesting experience while casting poppers for queenfish this week, a 4-5 foot croc (around 1.5 metres) became particularly interested in a pink popper after several attacks and misses from the queenies.
