ADELAIDE RIVER

Headed to Adelaide River for a run Thursday evening. Spending about half hour at each creek on the run out tide with no result. Headed for a troll on the rockbars and anchored on the last one before Goat Island a couple of hours just before the tide change. Not long into it the wife landed a 73cm barra on a Gold Bomber. A few more hits and 2 lost fish before things went quiet. Once the tide was slack we moved to the other side of the rock bar and fished the incoming tide. I got a nice 84cm chromie on a white soft plastic and another soon after at 60cm. A few hours after the tide change thought we would give it another 15 mins and head off, then woompa the father in law's blue/silver rapala xrap 20 got smashed after a short epic battle he pulled in a 105cm beauty. Great moon lit night fishing.

Was a nice night few mozzies on dark but once you put some spray on they didn't worry you and were gone. Is not bad down there at night everyone we saw seemed to leave a few hours before the change and before it got near dark. But it was worth staying and fishing that change just on dark and into the night. The full moon made it a nice night and helped alot to see what you were doing and what was around.
