The Camden Haven is improving at last
After months on too much fresh and dirty water in both the Hastings and Camden Haven rivers things are improving. Wind can be a bit of a challenge as I don't like 25Km and over. A gentleman fisher these days. Today turned out a bit of a win though. Enjoy.

The Hastings after the rain
Просмотров 6882 года назад
About nine weeks since my last video. The rain has not been very kind. Time to travel up to the Hastings River and see if things have improved on the flathead front.
My Fishing Gear

I have had several requests for what gear I use for my flathead fishing. Here is a quick summary of what I keep in the Stacer boat.
Chasing flathead in winter

Back up to the Hastings to chase flathead in winter. The cleaning table indicates that there are a few around. Emphasis on a few.
A Good Day on the Hastings

After no luck in the Camden Haven River since months of rain, I decided to try my luck in the Hastings River. This turned out to be a good move.
After the Rain
Просмотров 3782 года назад
This was my first trip out for about nine weeks. After two months of mostly consistent rain I wanted to check out the Camden Haven. The water is still dirty and nothing changed. This will give you a look at Watson's Taylor Lake and the river.
A Day on the Hastings
Просмотров 4472 года назад
Well the rains continue here in the Camden Haven. A break occurred last Sunday so I headed up to the Hastings to see if it was performing better than here, as the next seven days had rain forecast. Whilst the water was better than here, my result was not much different.

Well here we go again. Unlike those around us we never got the floods this time. Just plenty of dirty fresh water. After over five hours fishing all over the place, I ended up with a doughnut. Enjoy the journey.
More flathead in Queens Lake
Просмотров 6022 года назад
Over the last couple of weeks Queens Lake has been producing some good catches of flathead. Hoping that this will continue today.
Time to visit Queens Lake
Просмотров 7152 года назад
This week I made two visits to Queens Lake after an absence of nearly a year. The flathead were really on the chew on the Sunday with a good number caught the following Wednesday.
Time for a bigger net

Took advantage of the weather conditions and put the boat in. Stayed at the lower part of the Camden Haven River and did not venture up to Watson's Taylor Lake. Compared to recent trips out this was a very successful day out.
Fishing the clear water
Просмотров 7082 года назад
Normally I head up into Watson's Taylor Lake which most of the time has been muddy. The result of all the rain we have had. This time I started off at the lower part of the river near North Haven in clear water. Was more productive than the lake has been. Might be a sign.
Back on the water
Просмотров 4342 года назад
Finally able to get back on the Camden Haven River after poor weather. Winds mainly. Still chasing flathead. Watson Taylor is full of dirty water from the rains.
A Nice Big Girl Turned Up Today
Просмотров 3982 года назад
After a couple of week being grounded because of rain or wind I was able to get on the water today. Great day out but the fishing could have been better. A nice 59cm flathead was a good reward. Plenty of boats on the water today with all appearing to be in hunting mode. Ran into one viewer who has the same model boat as mine. Good to meet him.
No fishing today.

This video shows the Camden Haven area that I fish. It travels up Stingray Creek, into Queens lake, back up the Camden Haven River into Watson's Taylor Lake. It is a long video as the full trip shown. In the interest of time it does not travel across Queens Lake to Heron Creek, nor move up Watson's Taylor Lake into Mosquito Strait to join up with Camden Haven River again. A large screen will im...

    Love the video mate. Gained a follower. How does stingray creek itself fish? Looks like pristine flathead territory. The lake looks massive, and hard to pinpoint where to target fish in the lake in such a vast bit of water.

      Sorry for taking so long to get back to you Peter. I have only had the boat in once during that time. A few things have interfered with my getting out, the main one being that fishing in the river and lake is not what it used to be. Even the pros are complaining. Will most probably wait until the water warms up a bit and see it things improve. Thanks for your positive feedback.

      @fishingwiththefossil.6199 2 года назад

      Hi Ellen. I have the 55lb Terrova connected to a dedicated deep cycle 140Ah Giant Power battery from Aussie Battery. Over the last six months a problem has developed but i have not had time to investigate. After running for less than two hours the motor does not want to both steer and travel - it is one or the other. Anchoring is OK. However , from time to time the spot lock switches off and I have to invoke it again. In short, I don't know if the battery is failing, or the MinnKota controller is the problem. Aussie Battery claims the battery is designed for 12 years. Though this means nothing with battery technology. When both were new I was running almost continuously for 5 -6 hours. Sorry, not a lot of help.

      Thanks for the inquiry Aaron. All is well except for the fishing. Since the last fishing post I have put the boat in a couple of times with no success. With all the rain we are having here the amount of fresh water and mud is really messing things up. Believe the odd fish is being caught in the estuaries but nothing much. Was hoping to put the boat in last Wednesday, though the day was fine we had just finished four days of rain with plenty of mud. Can only hope.

      Hi Hayden. All is well, thanks for enquiring. Have had the boat out four times in the last 8 - 10 weeks. Results not worth producing a video. I follow a few other fishos up and down the coast from here and none have produced a video in that time. I can only assume that it is the amount of fresh and mud in our rivers that are causing this. Will continuing trying, though the forecast for summer is not promising.

    Thanks for your efforts Foss. Trout fishing has had the similar limits for a long time now. 10 trout per day / per Angler with a possession limit of 20, not sue if that has changed inline with the salt water limits. These ridiculous rules are made by people who don't fish & enforced by people who can't fish. They're all very happy to accept our money though, aren't they?

    • @fishingwiththefossil.6199
      @fishingwiththefossil.6199 2 года назад

    Thanks so much for sharing. I bought exactly the same Arrowz rod when Anaconda had a sale recently and I’m looking forward to chasing a few flathead with it, either with plastics or trolling with a little Pontoon Crackjack hardbody. It’s a shame they can’t standardise slot limits. In Queensland the minimum for dusky flathead is 40cm with a maximum of 75cm.
