Yaking around brisbane

[merrick]

Hi,

I have been fishing for many years, done all types of fishing, however i have only recently just got into kayaking.

When i say recent, i actually purchased mine several years ago, and it wasn't until my sister was up here on a holiday i showed her it, and realised that there was a considerable amount of dust on it - from lack of use

Anyway, I live in Spring Hill, and will be able to travel to just about anywhere (hey I'll give Baroon Pocket a bash one day) - however, is there a nice place thats not all that far away from the CBD that's is easy to get a tub in and out? (without everyone being able to watch me make a fool out of myself

Any tips greatly appreciated!

First up welcome to AFO. If you type in kayak or yak in the search forum you should get some tips.

Have a good read;)

Shultz Canal, Nudgee Ck and Tingalpa Ck would be good spots for fishing. Shultz and Nudgee Ck are awesome for lures especially.

I would imagine Boggy Crk would be okay too, and isn't far from the city ( pinkenba ).

Anywhere in the creek at Bowen Hills, just past the Royal Brisbane. About 2 or 3 k's from your place. Downey park runs along there, a few access points throughout the park, or you could go over to Albion and launch from the boat ramp in front of Whitworth Marine (Same creek, name changes along it though, Enogerah Creek, Breakfast creek).

Just becareful of the construction going on/around Enoggera creek. It's safe to pass through, but there's plenty of signs/structure and big bags to filter/catch floating crap

There is also Norman Creek, When it gets a bit hotter there are cod and jacks there, and if you go down near the scoccer club near churchy boys school there is a jetty and pontoon set up for canoeing and kayaking

Hey thanks! I have forgotten about behind the RBH, but then again all the NSBT work, it maybe abit hazardous.

However jetty's and pontoons that are set up for kayaking looks interesting! Must check that out.

Thanks for all the replies.

Stupid question of the day No #2 Rust.

I know kayaks (and canoes) are mostly composites, however is it a big usual with salt water and sticking it on top (on in my case a ute) on the back?
