    Usually a few nice sea run trout lurking in those waters Joe.

    Black and gold toby worked out good for me last time

    try a whitebait type fly..tied about a meter up from your toby...two ways to do it. either tidy swivel and thread fly on above it,curve of hook towards main line so it tucks in....or have about 8" of line out to side,either a loop..not so flash of again tiny swivel and leave a long tag end..... beauty of this is it looks like toby is chasing the smelt/bait...you will have 50% hook ups on fly/spinner but be bloody careful when go to net fish as that other hook in net and fish not in and your in the shit...
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Rain over night so a fresh in the river ....check

    Up early to get the change of light ....check

    Plenty of out going current so the bait will swim the sides of the river
    Check.

    Got a BIG bucket for all your catch ....check

    Got black n gold Toby's....check

    All our ducks in a row...check ....

    Ah Joe those zero baits make a very light meal when you whisk them up into a fritter. Ha ha ha ha. Keep at it mate.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Tried for a flounder on softbaits this morning, fishing the incoming tide, no luck. Bit early for Kahwai to be chasing bait up the creek, so into gathering mode.

    The estuary provides again, cockles cooked in cream with onions, garlic and parsley all from the garden. Served on cursty sour dough and a crisp hazy pale ale. Perfect starter to the weekend.
