queensland Brisbane River Jew.

[BassTracker]

Since my boat has been out of order for the past few months Ive been doing a lot of land based fishing for Jew and Threadies, both with quite a bit of success. I have caught 9 threadies in the past four weeks ranging from 81cms to 1.26meters and three jew the largest being 1.41meters. This is just out of the brissy river.. how lucky are we guys to have such amazing fishing right on our doorstep.. I want to post a pic of one of the jew but you can clearly see where its caught and I want to keep it a bit of a secret. Has anyone else been having sucess especialy with Jew in the river? I'd love to hear from you guys..:fishing:

[Angus]

waiting with baited breath still

Well done on the land based fishing though. Excellent effort.

Cheers.

Angus

[webbfunk]

Oh yeah, I know that spot.....

[Ash]

Mate i havent caught a jewie in the river for a couple of years! Id love some hints and tips from ya as im dying to get another one!

[BassTracker]

Hey Ash, I was just talking to Angus about the same thing.. If you Pm I'd be happy to help if I can,

[pinkey]

Awesome stuff mate! , keep that spot to yourself! :cheer:

[BassTracker]

yeah Ive learnt my lesson about telling people spots haha, the last threadie spot I gave away ruined it, I still cant fish it a year later because too many people get in there now.. I'm lucky to have a couple of fishing monthly pro's give me a few hints from time to time but the rest is hard work and time so I dont see the point in giving them away for nothing. I always sware my mates to secrecy when I take them and hide our catches in case someone comes along and spots what we've caught.. so paranoid lol

[flathead]

Great work mate. Yeh keep that spot to yourself

And good to see you were catching some in the day time.

[krisco]

i thought you couldnt do this to photos, not a good way to help other members

[BassTracker]

well its either that or no photos, when you work hard on finding these spots you dont want to go back and find 20 blokes fishing there. Although I am happy to help you out with any questions you've got I cant give spots away.

[nadders]

nice catches mate especially the jew. did you get em on lures or bait?

[BassTracker]

That one was on a live bait, but Ive got a couple on plastics too, (over 80cms) under that Id call them schoolies...

[Dinodadog]

rules are rules goes for everybody

[BassTracker]

I didnt know it was a rule not to obscure the background of a picture, is it? If so I'll just make sure I photograph them away from the scene of the crime next time so i dont have to worry.

Yeah thats the best bet. Its pretty easy to take a photo looking down etc so its still a good photo and doesnt give away anything about the location. Except maybe to a few budding geologists

Angus

[BassTracker]

Its all good, thanks angus for the tips, i'm hoping that not a lot of geologists go fishing...

[Ash]

Its a rule. Thats it. Bass tracker has admitted he didnt realise, and like he said, now he'll just take photos that dont show the back ground when in spot x's. problem solved. This thread isnt about questening the rules, its about a dude whos caught some awesome fish. People can dedicate another thread or speak to admin if they dont like the rules.

Now back to the thread. Thanks for the tips to Bass tracker:)

No worries mate. Catch up soon. We discuss in further detail that other plan as well.

Cheers.

[BassTracker]

Thanks Ash and Angus,

Your both welcome to come next time I head out...:fishing:

[BassTracker]

Although there is a secret cerimony of secrecy and spiritual cleansing that must be done before we go haha;)

[Terry H]

I've never caught a jew or thready, but it seems like they're on again, might have to get out and target some!

You and those bloody goats again! Honestly, you'll use any reason to bring out your goats!

Basstracker sounds good mate, always keen.

[BassTracker]

I dont mind goats, they are clean animals and if you bring sheep the kiwis always turn up and spoil the fun.. haha (Hope that doesnt offend anyone)

[Ash]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Do$tylz]

man that's some great hauls of fish. Can't wait to start committing some serious hours to fishing once this month is over so I can start trying to find some spots to catch stuff like that.

nice, i've only caught schoolies before and on dead baits at that, and a threadie on live herring. i'd really like to get a few jews and threadies on lures, going to start getting serious about it though because i've bought a bunch of lures but never had the balls to go and fish with just them.

reckon some gulp 5" jerk shads would do the trick, or maybe a 13cm barra hardbody?

would love to bag a big jewie, last one i ate at 85cm or so tasted fantastic no matter how badly i murdered it in the kitchen

[RatKing]

Wow 1.41 thats a huge jew especially land based!!!

Ive bn catching a few but nothing for 2mths! tho Cheers Simon

I think the jerk shads would work really well, i think its all about finding the spots, If you'd like some good threadfin lures to try out just email and I'll tell you a few that Ive found work well..
