queensland Time to kill in Gladstone

[silver_rex]

Had a couple hours under my sleeve today while up in gladstone for work this week, of course I bought the rod and backpack with lures. Only managed to fish for about an hour, did ok i think :woohoo: :woohoo:

Caught on TD Sol 2500 and 12lb braid and Daiwa D Red Back 6-10lb rod & 20lb leader. Rapala X Rap lure did the damage Nearly spooled twice, upto my knees in mud chasing the dam thing and about 25min to land. Worth it? Absoeffinglutly!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

top fish, you might get in trouble for dropping the naughty word though :ohmy:

[Joel Eadie]

wow! thats such an awesome catch especially land based!

[Do$tylz]

haha.. good save on the f-bomb.

Sweet fish for a short fishing session man. And landbased too... that's the sorta stuff I always try to catch when I'm on short work trips.... I'd be very happy with that.

[silver_rex]

all fixed nadders, my bad lol

a lot of good fishing oppotunities land based in CQ and North Joel, this one spot if the bait is there your in for some fun. Couple other guys did well on the poppers when the queenies arrived I had to leave them biting

[nadders]

im still waiting for my brissy river queenie, the invitation must of been lost in the mail

[wesfish]

you crazy bugger chasing the thing bank side at the hot water lol crocs get around that area lol

congrats on a great queenie for the efforts! :woohoo:

[Damien2Rad]

Are you CQ local? I'm movin' to Rocky tomorrow for at least a while (year+)

Would love some fishin' buddies...

[tugger]

good queenie they put up a fight and jump and carry on but i reckon your right fishing off the bank in croc country wes when you got mates with you just i never do it alone. i lived in north qld for a while and that was the rule of thumb

[Angus]

Nice fish rexy

Good work!

Yeah the thought did cross my mind about the crocs :dry: But had a couple locals help me out, like tugger mentioned safety in numbers.

Tugger believe it or not this one did not jump at all I thought I hooked a decent threadfin till I saw him bankside, was quite a nice suprise.

Damian2rad im not a CQ local, but up this way once a month for work.

Got some time again this afternoon, lets try for round 2 :woohoo:

Lmfao you got more chance of winning the lotto than getting hit by a croc in the calliope river, not saying there not there but ud have to be bloody unlucky.Lived and fished there most of my life even swam in there, im still alive..

Nice Queenie mate shame you didnt hit one of the huge barra that get around in the hot water outlet...

Yeah I agree uglyfish, fished here plenty times with no problems. Never had a problem in the gulf when I travel up there and they are heaps more prolific up there :dry: But always know they are around. I was only chasing barra, but got by catch instead But have seen some horse barra pulled out of here earlier in the year :woohoo:

[uglyfish]

you get some big salmon there as well, if you have a boat there are some big finger mark n jack to get towards the mouth..

Mate try just the other side the main rd bridge theres an old boat ramp there(or atleast there used to be) ficlk some lures around there you will get jack barra salmon and big pikey bream..i caught some big trevers there also..

[stingray]

Nice work mate, very well done for a 1hr fish, if only my work would let me fish lol.

[Travis]

Nice queenie steddy!!! :woohoo:

[Rocket75]
