Was thinking of trying weedless jigheads to try catch some bream over some submerged rocky area and perhaps for flatties to, this would be from a land based spot or perhaps from my kayak, any help appreciated, cheers John

Thanks benno, I'll give it a miss at that, cheers mate.

I'm thinking of heading to kalinga bank from jacobs well, in a hire boat, they are five hp I think, can anyone help and give me an idea how long it would take please, cheers John

Yes ellicat, we have gone out in Jacobs Well in hire boat, they are only low speed, does us, we're not aiming for stradie, just some more fishy spots the land based might not have, we enjoy it.

Thanks angry, but as my mate would help and it would be only every couple of months, I didn't think of all that.

Hi I fish the estuarys of the gold coast, mainly salt Creek, coombabah creek, I like to mainly wade the flats in my kayak, but I've decided to get a little boat, so my mate can come with me, as I'm in Toowoomba, we only go every few months, would a 12ft car topper, with say a 5hp motor be OK, just something to put on my hilux Ute, go for a fish, nice and simple. The other thing with the kayak is that at 60,im starting to feel not as secure in it. All advice appreciated, I'm pretty green on this.

Thanks mate

G'day guys My mate caught this fish on the goldy, any ideas please. Ta john

G'day all Some of my trebles on my lures have rust, should I change them? Cheers john

Does it matter if you use short or long shank hooks for whiting, I'm going to use nippers for bait, I've got the short size 4,hooks, but thought maybe I could use the longer ones. Interested in experienced fish as views, cheers John. Ps just fishing the flats.

Kat, I'll certainly be do a report, I'd never done whiting before till I took a disability client to the broadwater on a Brad smith fishing charter two weeks ago, we used straight though fluro carbon, 2lb and used yabbies as bait, it was brilliant and worked well, great in fact. So I thought if I ran mono all the way through 4lb,i can try top water lures as well straight to the mono. I'll just get on my kayak and then wade the flats. That's my plan, but there's so many set ups you can use, I'm trying to keep it simple. My usual fishing is after flatties with sp, which I run braid, fluro leader etc. So this is new, it was great fun I'd never got yabbies before either, so got a pump for that, just shows you can teach an old dog new tricks lol. Cheers guys

Thanks again hamish, I managed to get some of the taniki trout clear online so I'll give it a go,thanks again, John

Thanks guys, very informative. Yes I tried this fishing and loved it, mono sounds the go, plus I can use it to throw a top body lure, which I want to try, what's a good quality mono guys, cheers again john

I'm trying to get into a whiting set up from my kayak, mostly walking the flats, using yabbies etc I've only really used sp, but not targeted whiting, I wanted to run fluro right through really light say 4lbs, but thought I'm probably better with say 6,lb braid with 4 lb leader as then when not targeting say whiting, that rod is still good for flatties etc. I've looked at YouTube Vids, I see youngy uses mono all the way through, just wondering if others have done this type of fishing there thoughts, the areas I'd fish would be yabbie banks like the gc broad water, cheers again

Thanks breaming with bro, very comprehensive ta
