Only been here twice… can’t say much, reserved for future use! 🙂
Category Archives: TIDES – On The Water
Lots of life, no fish
So this was my theory, I wanted to do more quick fishing trips. If I don’t have time for a full day, I would just put the boat in Dinah Beach Boat Ramp (10 mins away) and spend a few hours in the water, (plus an extra 2 packing up). Well I had to work Saturday so I figured I might as well give it a shot, and everything went great, except no fish.
Things are doing really well elsewhere so next weekend I need to put in the miles.
Got:
Me: 1 small, 1 medium catfish
Tameka: Nothing
Story of the trip:
Went down to Reichart’s and there was life everywhere. A few boofs, fish jumping, it all looked pretty good. Yet nothing was biting, apart from a couple of catfish. So much life for nothing. At one point I could see a fish (thought it was a barra, but a closer inspection now thinking maybe a shark) and I swam a lure past its face a few times, once I dragged the lure into its body, it just lazily continued swimming along without a care in the world.
Boat problems:
The battery ran out, I think I did too much on the minnkota, and not enough on the engine. I started it on the second one and managed to charge it a bit on the drive home. Started on battery 1 for the engine flush so I think it is okay.

Adelaide Bridge
Only been there once
Good but narrow boat ramp
Less than an hour away
Corroboree Billabong Location
Love it or hate it
It is gorgeous!
It isn’t tidal
Only 90 minutes away
But the fishing is… very difficult
Houseboating there is something everyone should do. But fishing is pretty tough going.
Note only plastics allowed.
Adelaide / Salty Arm Boat Ramp
Get to the mouth of the Adelaide from here.
Need about 3m to get out of the creek, but the ramp is useful even lower than that.
About 100 minutes travel time, depending on how bad the corrugation is.
