carp fishing anyone?

[kevinchen19870316]

i have found a few ponds full of carp(2-10kg), mullet(30-50cm) and tillapia(20-50cm) and they r easy to catch on float fishing.

so anyone who used to do this sort of fishing and still have some passion for it just let me know.

all the spots r spot Xs that everyone can share:P

[username_taken]

That sounds like a bit of fun... I'd be up for that. Assuming it's legal to fish there ?

[kevinchen19870316]

100% legal for sure, definitely and guaranteed. lol

Are these around Bulimba Creek carindale?

The creek near the shopping centre is chockers with big mullet, tilapia and carp. Good fun on unweighted light line and bread.

The occasional bream and tandanus catty turns up as well so its an interesting mix.

Big Dave and Aaron H used to fish it a fair bit. And i fished it several times. Down by the bridge that goes over the creek is a bit of a lagoon. In the lagoon are plenty of fish. And turtles

I have seen up to 20 carp and tillies caught in a session with little effort. And not small ones either.

In fact it may be well worth a look at present as it always seemed to fire up after rain.

the spots i talk about r not in carindale. but that seems to be a pretty awesome spot as well. thanks angus

[chubbstar]

:ohmy: :woohoo: :woohoo: :laugh: I'm there mate thanks. All this time looking at the creek and thinking "there would be Trout in there if it was in Tassie" and now you tell me that theres fish in there:woohoo: . Keep an eye out for the reports :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks again Angus

No worries Kevin and Chubby.

I just checked google maps and the bridge i refer to is the one on Winstanley Street Carindale. The best success was usually had here around midday (or when the water is warmed up) using small hooks and not weight. Floats seemed not to be as successful as nothing. Its a bit of a pain but you can flick the bream bait towards the pilons of the bridge. This seemed to be the most productive. If you only get it out a little way (2-3m) dont worry, the tilapia will find it! Also a little bit of bread berley does not go astray. Just watch out for the ducks!

Smallish hook with the brad squashed onto it like dough and light line (4kg max) seemed to be the name of the game.

Good luck!

Hope to see some good verminated photo's soon.

Ahh the old spot haven't been there since I moved from Belmont to Runcorn. monster eels that know where the pylons are to, I might have to go for a bash down there I think, its a great spot when u cant be bothered hooking up a boat, want to get out of the sun, and cheap to fish (a loaf of bread ) and your set. Big mullet go hard to

[Gazza]

Corn

small plastic spoon (used to catipult corn as ground bait)

4 to 5 kenells of corn on an unweighted hook = CARP

Great fun on light gear

in slack water leave the line slack and bail arm open wait to see line moving and bingo

hey Kev pm me spot x please

[Feral]

That was my haunting grounds when I was a kid! (Before Carindale was built) how do you reckon the grass would be Aaron after all the rain? Still be able to access the water ok?

[Cowfish13]

Sounds like a good spot to catch some fish that you've found Kev:)

What suburb are the ponds located in?

Feral the fishing location of choice is easily accessible. You stand on teh bike path under the bridge. Comfy, flat, and rest your rod on the rail. Easy as.

Thats the one rocks onto concrete, can't beat it;) , and when the peoiple come to feed the ducks ready made burley:) , just be careful of the stupid water hens, not the easiest to get a hook out of trust me

[CrayfishMates]

Righto then read enough where are the spots lololol

[woody1]

My brother has seen big fish in cash's crossing in Albany Creek/Brendale on the northside. He thought they may have been mullet. This has reminded me i need to give it a try, would love a good spot only a fewe minutes from home!!!

[Chafule]

im going to head to where angus suggested tomorrow arvo. hopefully get into some fun! and catch some mullet for my crab pots =]

[clayton]

will either of these spots in carindale produce any fish tonight from 2 hours before high tide

im looking to go for a fish tonight either in carindale or a boat ramp somewhere

[Angus]

I dont know how carindale creek is now. It flooded massively during the week though. If its all settled it could be a good thing or not. Im not sure how the creek works in the rain.

Angus

[Hellcat Dan]

the ponds at logan if they are the same ones [there are heeps] i go to are full of fish the bass are small heeps of dew and mullet loads of carp you can see them in the weeds

[chubbstar]

Had a bit of time to kill Today, So went over to Carindale creek for a look with my 4 year old boy Jake.

Took some bread for bait and small long shanked hooks. The creek is still running fast from all the rain. Casted in and about 20 seconds later got hit. A small fight and landed a little Eel. "SNAKE DAD, SNAKE Be careful Dad":laugh: :laugh: My little fella got a bit worried:blink:

Anyways Stayed about an hour landed 8-10 Eels. Some big buggers in there, our bigest being about 1.5m.

Good fun with the boy.

[kevinchen19870316]

1.5m....u should give terry a call

[chubbstar]

Easy to catch Kev, We were watching them swim around everywhere. We seen some very small fish, nothing worth throwing bait at.

Jayson

[James W]

kids and eels..its great..i used to hunt eels all the time growing up....your a good dad chubby;)

[chubbstar]

Thanks Jimmy, I have a funny feeling it wont be the last time I take my kids over there;) I'm sure thier all gunna want in on the action:blink:

Jayson

[Plastic Man]

good to see chubby getting the kids into it early nice

[ellicat]

Good one Chubbs. Mitch was going to chance his luck with a mate on the weekend, but didn't in the end. He might be down there this weekend though:woohoo:

[Cowfish13]

Nicely done Chubs:)

I've got a small creek (run-off from the suburb flows into it) about 50m away from my house and I've seen big Eels cruising in a particular hole. It was an awesome sight to see completely free swimming fish, not afraid of anything. I kinda want to catch one, but I feel sorry for them as there may not be too many in there:S

I also saw a few Turtles on that same day. I couldn't believe that there was such good life in this creek.

In that hole, sometimes when we've been testing home made lures (with out hooks on), big Eels come up and attack them. So they ain't shy:blink:

[Chafule]

it probably is likely to be illegal but im not sure.

Are you allowed to cast net in the creek behind Carindale shopping centre?

I need a place i can surely catch mullet in a short time with a castnet which i havnt found
