Howard r landing LB
Headed down to the landing at howard river this arvo for a bit of a flick, it's got me stuffed how you'd manage to launch a decent boat off here even on the 5m tides there's no way I would drive a 4wd out onto these mudflats . But I headed up a bit further towards the rockbar and continued to cast my x rap into any area that looked deep enough to hold a barra or 2.
Out of a few hundred casts I did manage to get this little fella..as well as losing a few more. Not bad for a quick afternoon effort under a half hour from home.

Re: Howard r landing LB
Yep, walking up there and back is the scariest bit as you have to cross almost 100m of knee deep water, sometimes more if going early or staying late if you are risking it all for one last fish on the incoming as it's a fair walk (over half a km upriver to where i fish) from the access point at the landing. A mate of mine stood on a stingray up this way a few years back casting the net for mullet. And I've nearly had the same thing happen a few times crossing the river ...Doubz wrote:How did you take the pic whilst in the water Watch out for them lizards!
Pic was easy mate. I set the tripod up on the mudbank there in the pic then selftimed it.... easily done if you take a few and then check 'em out before release.

WOW...Haven't see too many people strapping a tripod to their back while they are wading through the Howard. Come to think of it, I haven't seen tooo many phones mounted to a tripod. Maybe you are confused and just used a selfie stick
Not doubting your story but it seems to have a few flaws

All I can say is
It only takes one camel
And it would seem that you have certainly had your fair share

Mate I actually think your stories would be great without all the mayo on them. You’ve obviously had some ripper trips, thanks for sharing.
And crop the glare off the photo, left of barras shoulders.
