queensland reclaimed land @ bris river mouth

[Smiderman]

Hi Going to try the reclaimed land / rock wall at the mouth of the Brisbane river tonight any recommendations

* drift

* anchor

* bait

* stage of the tide?

* distance from the wall

please note I'll be in a 3.7m tinnie so I cant be too adventurous

thanks

half or full pillies on a 2/0 or 3/0 snell rig with 20lb mono leader, no sinker in water 3 mtrs or shallower , just drift your baits just out from the wall, and make sure you throw one out wide, i usually anchor up and get a small berley trail happening, just about any of the wall will work even if its only 1.5 mtrs deep , if the sea gulls get ur bait put the lightest sinker on, i fish the entire stretch on the river side

has there been much caught of late wesfish?

casting hardbodies right up into the rocks at night can get ya some nice cod and squire too.

I was thinking of heading out there on Sunday morning in my Kayak if the weather permits.

Was going to float some livies along the wall.

Is this a nuts plan in a kayak?!?

Where should i launch from?

Does anyone want to join me?!

Cheers

my mate has got a couple of nice squire and cod in the last week, SAX i would put in at fishemans island ramp and paddle around or over near the poo shoot and cross the river there in a yak, it would be good if you could put in at the docks then its just a short paddle, make sure the wind is e se or sw for the protection along the wall any thing northerly and it gets choppy..

I will be out that way on Sunday morning. If you see a 4.35m Sea Jay Territory with an older guy (me) and a young guy (my son Chris) and an Asian girl (his partner, paddle up and say hi. I like the incoming tide in that area and will move up river on the outgoing if the conditions are ok.

i was heading there monday but i just checked the weather and it looks sweet as,im gunna head out instead...good luck guys let us know how you go..

[Feral]

Good luck, I've just been down the caboolture river and the wind is a sh\ocker, even with wind with tide there are 2 foot whitecaps (in the river!)

Took me half an hour to paddle to the first nav marker going against both. Literally coming back I just dropped the paddle in the water near the arse of the yak and steered home ! Took less than 5 minutes to get back to the ramp with wind and tide on my back.

Tides changing now, reckon its going to be like a washing machine shortly!

[uglyfish]

just checked again 5 to 10 monday,most likely change but at this point im going still..115hp is a bit different to ya paddle feral lol,howd ya go any way?did ya soak a plastic or 2?

[Feral]

Yeah thought you meant you were going out "now"

Dragged a plastic, no action though. Was only on the water for an hour, conditions were just to bad.

sax i would definately call that a nuts plan on a kayak lol. the chop out there + wake from tangalooma cat/50m tankers/etc is bad enough in a tinny!
