I have been stopping at as many creeks as I can during my recent travels. I keep the light rod rigged with a 10lb leader and light jighead, ready to go, in the back of the car. The other day, somewhere between Gayndah and Biloela, I crossed this puddle just after dawn. I could not resist a quick cast.
Looked fishy
Spangled Perch – I presume
A 2 inch plastic on a light jighead
The pool was just about a metre deep and hardly any water was running through. I put on my new freshwater favorite soft plastic; the GULP 2 inch Crabbie in the Emerald Shine colour. On my first cast I felt a few taps. On the second I pulled out a tiny pretty spotted fish – I assume it is a spangled perch. Great start to the day!

Yes it’s a Spangled Perch, great little fighters on light gear.
Hi
I will be visiting QL in Feb 2014 coming from N Ireland. Love your “have a go” attitude and would like some advice on where to “have a chuck”.
Good luck and tight lines

Where will you be based?
Good one, just out of interest, just how light was the jig head? I was in a similar area.
I was using a 1/12th with a size 2 hook
