queensland Tingalpa Creek

Fangdangle: Mate id say based on its tail walking your little herring looking fish would have been a tarpon. A good catch mate!

Would you be interested in showing me some fishing spots from the yak sometime? I also have a fishing yak and would be keen to try it in some new waters.

Not to mention illiminate some pests.

I think it was pretty much the top of the tide that day, it was only a small tide. On the really big tides you can get some nice sized bream there.

I was the one there when you left. I was by myself but those kids on the bikes were a friends who lives just up from where you were, they see the car and always come down for a stickybeak.

I'm thinking of heading down this afternoon just off the bank for a bit. Got an hour or two to kill, see how it goes.

OH so I didn't quie meet you - next time - I saw the change of shift and commented to wifie how it didn't take long from someone leaving to someone taking the spot.

So it is tidal - I wonder how far I can get my tinnie and where to start from.

Brian,

When I was a kid my mate had a little tinnie we used to launch from Queens Esplanade at Lota, just inside the mouth of the creek. It was the only ramp in the creek back then, dunno about know.

You can launch in Tingalpa creek near Birkdale Brian, but I think there is a very shallow rocky run that will stop you near the Old Cleveland road bridge, the lowere reaches I've caught flathead, small jew, big bream and whiting.

There are 3 prop hungry rock bars in the creek if you go there below 1/2 tide.There was a post on ausfish a couple of weeks ago that gave the exact locations I think that the post was on prawning.I launched from the end of Queen St several years ago and bkew a prop within 100 yards and havent been back.
