Anyone else in a Sharing mood???

[pcsolutionman]

Reading Jordans "Summer is Coming" Thread got me thinkin, I reckon it would be cool if everybody willing to share some good spots especially around your local stomping grounds would add to this thread with say a google image or 2 with info on what how and when sort of thing ill start.

My Local stomping greound is pummicestone passage in particular the roys rd stretch which includes Coochin ck, Mellum ck and the Narrows.

First of all Coochin creek and a couple of little spots anyone chassing a good Jack or Cod might want to try

The Narrows

[img size=499]http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/pcsolutionman/Narrows.jpg

hopefully we can make this a great thread with loads of info for everyone to share in

Well these are mine and Georges favrouite spots in the south pine. Have caught many species of fish in these spots like cod, Gt, bream, flathead, jewfish, stonefish, bullshark and jacks. Also had many big bust ups in here for people who think the pine river is fished out it isent you have just gota fish the upper reaches. Hope this map works [img size=400]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/map-eec664b59bb1373cbcca93b5e3c79301.JPG

This is a few around Fig Tree Pocket and 17 Mile Rocks I have to admit it's more miss than hit but that could be my fishing skills [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/FTP_Spots.jpg

[kriso]

have heard of decent size jewies and threadies caught at this stretch of the river land based, yet to fish it myself though but my first shot would be at that rock formation in the bottom right also apprantly its pretty dark there at night so might wanna bring a torch if ya get one so you can take some photo's of your catch!

[planetfonz]

most of these are old bait fishing spots that we enjoyed before the major soft plastics revolution.. we've since gone back to some with lures and had mostly equal amounts of success. while others are still on my list as the plastics would clean up there.

1. Markeri street bridge - this is by far the fishiest spot i've fished in the canals. the sheer amount of herring here in spring and summer is amazing. much like under the Urangan Pier in hervey bay. the kind of place where 1 cast with the net gets you enough liveys for hours and enough dead bait to last a lot of winter breaming sessions. this is only 1 of 2 canals that lead into the southern lakes and canals down towards bond uni so everything swims thru here. has much more flow than my number 4 spot. most of our shark fishing was from a beach next to this bridge. outgoing tide always gave the better results

2. and 3. Lake Rumrunner and Lake Intrepid - lotsa sharks all thru the canals but in these lakes they seem to have parties. according to old timers (read: anyone over 40) Intrepid is the deepest lake in the canals. live trevally caught at spot 1 always got hit in rumrunner lake, and in fact when we'd get towed by them in our canoe they would always take us to either spot as opposed to a leasurely cruise down the canals.

4. Markeri St Bridge #2 - fair amount of bait again, nowhere near as much as spot 1. but still plenty..

5. and 6. scenes of a few attacks. a young fella was eaten at number 5 in early 90s, and another non fatal attack in almost the same spot under a year later. and it still rips me that fools swim there. even a couple years later as we'de canoe along towards the casino we would see sharks cruising (every afternoon its not uncommon to see several) and also ppl having a dip. silly move. ol vic hisplop did some bull shark killing after these attacks but he can never get rid of them. and a good thing that is too! 6. was an old fella who'd swim across lake wonderland every morning at the crack of dawn. until one bit his ass and he stopped doing it. a friends dad got towed from the bridge near no.6 to our no.1 spot in his tinny by a monster shark that took a live bream, long row home for him, and no shark..

/>http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp44/planetfonz/Randoms/Broadbeach.jpg

this the broadbeach area, once again lotsa options, most importantly the canal side servo mmm ...

8. Ray Central... pacific fair is nicely lit up at night.. wasn't uncommon to see more than a dozen large rays relaxing at anyone time..

9. Poddies.. from 9 right along to the servo is thick with mullet, so many poddies, its no effort at all to stock up on bait here.. bread helps but at night u need only a net.. we'd keep some for flesh bait only as live herring were always the preferred bait

10. Casino.. this is all oyster lined rocks going into relatively deeper water. many times here mystery fish have been hooked and taken off never to return. bricked, as i've seen it called! while i'm still yet to catch a mangrove jack (even a small one) my fishing buddy did me the honour of watching him catch 3 specimens around 45-50cms over the course of a week or so while he was right next to me. same gear, same bait, same spot.. damn fishing.. this area is also popular with the local lure chuckers.

14. 15. and 16. scenes of my own conversion to the wonderful world of lures. being one who thought luring at night was for idiots who wasted their time, it was enlightening to catch many trevally here at night while wasting my time:D

Cascade Gardens park has a lot of lights and a fair amount of bait gathers at 15. with surface action aplenty. i was sitting with a friend here one evening with no fishing gear and saw surface action so raced home and returned with the newly released raider lures, and thus caught many Gt/Bigeyes and destroyed the myth of no fish on lures at night.

spot 16 has very fast flowing current but can also give very visual trevally versus lure action. great fun here with small slugs, poppers and deep divers. if only sx40's existed when i lived close to here..always had the most success on hot arvo's .. very sheltered in a N/NE.. bait gathers around a little spit of sand and the trevally smash the crap out of it..

at night this spot is also a shark central plaza.. awesome land based sharking around here.

like any fishing person anywhere, sometimes you look at a spot and think "damn that looks great" .. all these were our spots for that, while not being secret we hardly ever had anyone fishing near us and always had success.. the canals are full of this sort of fishing.. they are one of my favourite places to fish

ps no.14.. i really don't like ibis

[Terry H]

not a comprehensive list, but some that come to mind.

Might do some other creeks later, schulz, cabbage tree ...

[namyau]

here are some of my fav spots at tweed heads - grew up there and these spots have all produced decent fish

best time for the wharf where the fishing trawlers is when the boats come back in - unweighted prawn dropped underneath and some massive bream can be had

[Sparksie]

Hi

Very generous to start the ball rolling Lee.

No pics or Google screen shots to add

but

On my Northern NSW "road trip" the other day, the pump station house at south rockwall on the Tweed River was undergoing a security upgrade. Big steel fence going up around it.

Some lads there working away, when we pulled up to fish off the wall.

Anyway, got chatting and the sand pumping jetty is also getting a security upgrade with higher fencing and razor wire etc. due to people breaking in to fish off it. :dry:

Very silly on several levels.:ohmy:

Gent told of some thumping big Bream around the pylons for the sand pumping jetty they see all day long whilst working on the jetty itself.

Probably best way to get at the spot, legally, would be to yak out thru Tweed River mouth and duck round to the sand pumping jetty.

Might be helpful info for the yak members on the site..

Regards

Sparksie

[benno573]

i'll just throw it out there for people if they want... i have spent way too long in a boat around the pin area, if you want to know anything about the area drop me a pm and tell me what you want to catch etc and i will be happy to help. there is way too much stuff in a close area for a google map or 3! great spots to start though are cobby passage, tiger mullet channel and near slipping sands.

i agree with sparksie, big ups to lee for starting this thread, a lot of useful info being bandied about that is for sure!

Behind the Tweed Hospital is a Great Bream spot MASSIVE bream to be caught during winter most +30. Sorry to use your Image Namyau just was Impatiant to add some imput...:blush:

[jakhunta]

There are some big jacks in the tweed so go get em. [img size=404]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/chinderah.jpg

Ok my favourite land based place ever.

The rocks you are looking at in this map are sometimes known as Dune Rocks on North Stradbroke Island. They are the rocks in between Deadmans and Frenchmans beaches.

Fishing landbased (spots marked in red) here I have caught and seen caught:

Snapper.

Bream (big sea bream).

Golden Trevs.

Giants Trevs.

Silver Trevs.

Big Eye Trevs.

Dart.

Whiting.

Spangled Emperor.

Sharks.

Flathead.

Jew Fish.

Yellow Tail Kingfish.

Tailor.

This location has seen my best bream sessions using only typical estuary bream gear and soft plastics. Very good fun.

The spots marked in green are the location i intend to fish in my kayak ASAP. You have to pick the day of course but on good days the whole area can be glassed out looking fantastic.

Cheers. [img size=430]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/straddymap.JPG

[Fisherjoe]

any chance on supplying suburb names with those google maps guys?

[Beefa]

I thought with the easter long weekend upon us it might be a good time to bump Lee's origanal thread. This is a spot where I have had good success in the river with flathead and cod. Sorry about my pc skills but the 1st white blotch down the right corner is the Colmslie ramp so from there heading up river the 2nd just after the wharves has produced good fish then onto the next stretch is where I have caught alot of good flathead and cod I fish it by yak but there is a park along this stretch so you can fish it land based as well [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/river_map.jpg

[sappy]

theres a great spot just before the gateway threadies and heaps of cod its like next to the cruise terminal at bretts warf :laugh: really good derections sorry i cant be more help i just know how to get there i dont acuatlly know the street sorry

[fishingnut]

rapers shoal would be nice!

[Terry H]

Rapers Shoal is 2km off Currimundi Beach. Use google earth, you'll see Currimundi Lake coming out onto the beach. Head 2km east of that.

You will also see some of the real shallow parts near the beach just north (You will see the rocks under water on google maps)

[fishingnut]

many thanks terry :ta:

[jackman60]

going to strad this weekend might have to try that place

one of my favourite places is in kingscliff river if you a kilometre or so up river

i have caught big eye trevs, flathead, pike, longtom, bream and also good if you go up a bit further for mudcrabs

[robin]

WOW this is great seeing all of you share your spots.

Not sure how to do the Google Earth thing, but just south of the "bigger sharks" mark (Pelican Banks, I think) try for sand crabs in summer and diver whiting in winter.

What a good thread this is. Thought it was well worthy of a bump and reminder.

(Please don't read it if you don't believe in sharing though)

[doss]

thanks every 1 for that

[Lachie]

hey brian mate do you mind sharing the gps coordinates for the whiting for bait and dinner,squid and the prawns if you dont mind sharimg them !

ohh and the flathead by the bucket !

[Gad]

if your really lucky he may just come out and bait your hook and play anchor boy for you

[Bi_polar]

Does anyone want to share any Thready or Jew spots at the mouth of the Brisbane river?

Just finished a major refit on my boat and keen to give the mouth a crack tonight.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on the thready's as these are one species that i have never got in the Jumbo size....

Just go to google maps, find where he put the pins and get the coordinates off there. you have to do some of the work yourself!!

yep... since that post BrianD has moved to Gladstone

[josmo99]

Folks, thanks for the tips!

Last week we were getting into quite a few thumper winter whiting up to 28cm along the edge of the Rous channel (?) north of the Amity Banks (?). I might have got the names wrong, only been out in the Bay twice. Anyway some of you should recognise the 'landmarks' in the pic below.

Bit of a drive to catch winter whiting but we got lost trying to find Harry Atkinson. Got lost on the way home too, ended up at Cleveland instead of Wello Pt where the car was.

[Oconnell]

Mate this thread GOLD!!!! thanks for posting up the locations around coochin and the Narrows.

I am keen on 2 spots as it looks like we can land based fish there.

[tugger]

Infront of any of the wharfs down in the brisy river just keep 30m+ way from them for security reasons and you'll be on the money, live bait helps attrack them and use a 60lb flurocarbon leader as they are known for chewing through

[tugger]

The group off stradie is a great place in summer and autumn for pelagics like spanish mackerel and marlin then winter its hots up around boat rock for reefies. Palm beach and mermaid reefs are a couple of my favourites in summer and autumn for pelagics like mackerel and cobia just don't forget to use wire trace as they are very toothy. The eastern shore just outside of swan bay is good through winter for tailor and jew where the water drops into the deep and the south east point of short island is good for bream tailor and jew all down near the pin.

[btke70]

We've been fishing golden beach a fair bit lately with plenty of variety to boot. Last time we bagged a few decent Jew all of which were 75+, bream ranging from bait size to horses, flathead and even an off season jack. If you know where the boat ramp is, just a little further along the road is the bridge. Go up top and you'll see the Jew schooling. Plenty of live bait around if you like it.
