queensland Brisbane River - Pinkenba 3/11 - 4/11

[fidel]

So a mate, my brother and I decided to randomly go flick some bait around last nite about 10pm, dropped the lil 12' tinnie in at Pinkenba boatramp and headed only 500m inland, before settling on what looked like a productive location, 30mtr off the bank

3.5hrs, and 2 whole mullet (cut into strips later) come up with

8 bream from 18cm-45cm-wish big one was at BRC time!

4 snapper all above 25cm (my bad I thought that was legal size - have since bought a measuring chart today from BCF)Unfortunately I kept the 25cm+ ones thinking they were 23cm rule!

1 Shovelnose of about 70cm

1 Spangled Perch???? (see attached)

5 of these slug things (see attached - upto 25cm)

Slug thing is a Bristle Worm. Nasty fella's

Perch is a Moses Perch

Awesome Bream :woohoo: but yeh, the Snapper:unsure:...

[Mack_attack]

Ah well atleast you'll only do it once although if a fisheries guy came around you'd be in trouble. Good bream though, on prawns?

[fidel]

LOL - I almost didnt post up the photo after being told my error - but was too good of a catch to let slip by - I know the rules for next time now tho

[fidel]

I thought they were all bream at first - my mate said they were snapper - but none of us were sure of the legal size.

All on mullet fillets

[fidel]

According to my BCF chart - 35cm

[Mack_attack]

yep that's right

[ellicat]

Nice breambo !

Don't forget to tell all your mates about the legal size.

[chubbstar]

A 45cm Bream:blink:

A 25cm Bristle Worm:ohmy:

What kind of chemicals are they pumping into the river there?:dry:

[fidel]

yer i was googling those worms before - apparently the worms grow to like 40cm, size depends on nutrients in river.

there fertilizer plants nearby maybe?

No idea but I be back there this weekend

[Davo_Dinkum]

i was down there 2 1/2 weeks ago and a Bristle Worm(now i know what it is ) was going hard flogging my bait. it was about 10 cm ish had 6 bits of my squid and prawn in it before i got it. WTG on the bream nice 1 makes the 1 i got down there look like a baby.lol

[fidel]

they kept swallowin my hooks - left them on the hook 2mins once out the water and they spat the bait again

[Enjoyfish1]

Not a bad outing!

If you notice, you'll see that the angler now knows this, as highlighted at the beginning of this thread.

yes but that was my reply never the less

geez aren't I allowed to make a statement?

Dan

[Terry H]

I don't see why such a statement should be made. The angler knows he was wrong, why make him feel worse?

[Shrimpo]

Kinda agree with flatty catcher, He knows it now well and good but still shouldnt of taken 6 snapper at that size, their like bream at that size.

Ohh also, i wouldnt have put pictures up because you never know if anyone from the fisheries is on the site.

point taken, apologies

I don't wish to make the guy feel bad.

have a good one

edit: but yes shrimpo we all make mistakes, every now and then, so I guess this is just one of those times,in his credit he knows he made a mistake.

my post was just a one off I didnt think it would attract a reply.

[nadders]

hmm never caught a bristle worm before lol, they look like disgusting little bastards. heard they sting you if you pick em up too

[Angus]

Sounds like a fun session.

Moral of the story thought, for any species, if you dont know the size limit, throw it back.

fished around the bay a bit. as a kid on the trawlers these used to come up in the nets and it was the last thing you wanted to grab while sorting. if they are the same little beggars we used to call them prawn killers and they have a very nice set of choppers that are similar to the ones found on centipedes - only bigger, with a similar sting. have been bitten by both. beware nice oyster cracker mate, btw
