Brissy River Livies

[Bri The Pom]

Going to hit the mouth of the river in a couple of weeks,launching from fishermans island and heading for the sunken wall and poo chute.

Is there anywhere i can catch livies with a cast net,herring or prawns,im not sure whats about this time of year never gathered livies in the river before.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Bri.

Usually a few around the ramp at fishos, or if the tide is in, head around behind the tug station. There is a small creek there and there always seem to be bait fish schooling around the entrance. I have heard that people castnet around the poo shoot as well, but I am am too shy of all the snags in that area.

Good luck.

Last time i was out at the sunken wall - 4-5 weeks ago, i just dropped a bait jig over the side and was getting plenty of herring

[Beejay]

yeah theres been a few threads where guys in the river say they cast net around the poo chute for bait.

Wheres this sunken wall everyone talks about? Cheers Beejay

say you launch at fishos - go under the bridge and straight, once you reach the t-junction of the main channel go at a slight angle to your right and it runs paralell to the beach there

Is this the ramp at fishermans island that i want to launch.

[Old Scaley]

No, Bri, the fishos ramp is open. It is on the south side of the river near the port and the Pinkenbar ramp is on the northside.

[Bri The Pom]

Phew thanks !!!!!

the poo chute is safe for your net if you drop back about 20-50mtrs from the very end of the chute, i all ways seem to get heaps of gar and silver biddies and blue herring. poddy mullet i chase around the entrance of boggy creek in the shallows. as well as prawns.

[Smiderman]

I've cast around the poo shute as recently as a month ago and it was clear of snags right up to the concrete outlet (front and either side).

same for me, i've always cast hard up against the concrete outlet without problems.

thanks for that mate, I always wondered where it was...cheers Beejay

[Beejay]

anyone have easy directions to the poo chute as well. Ive never thrown my net there either....cheers Beejay

launch at fishos go under boat passage - once u hit that t-intersection go right. head up the channel and the poo chute's on your left hand side. Concrete thing that comes out from the land a bit..

Follow the pipeline til it ends then go up a little more and its on your left.

Hope that helps

hey wes , when you say back about 20 - 50 metres do you mean back down the river way our back out from the poo shute itself?

Any body getting any crabs out the river yet,is it worth taking a pot or 2

you might not be able to go under the bridge on wednesday from the fisherman island ramp with the closure like for a few days around then with construction works on the new bridge. i would suggest the comslie ramp and you can get livies around there easily onj the pontoon next to the ramp. what species of fish will you target ?

Like to have a few livies in the well in case we target tailor or a jewie,threadie.

Are you saying that ramp will possibly be closed,so use the ramp at comsile,is that the best ramp coming from the gold coast.

Cheers

Bri

[tugger]

the fishos ramp isn't closed but they will have the bridge works on so you can't pass under and access the river so the best bet is comslie for you as its not far from the motorway. the comslie ramp is good and you can get livies there easily with some good fishing options close

[Bri The Pom]

Great Mark, thanks for that.

[ellicat]

Colmslie ramp is at the end of Col Gardner Drive (if you're plugging it into the GPS or Google Mapping it).

[crazywalrus]

as I read this post Fishos Ramp is ok tomorrow? (sunday)

Also I have never used the fisho's ramp. Can someone please post the address for me?

[tugger]

its on port drive go over the bridge onto fisherman island and do a 180 on the roundabout pass over the bridge again and its on your left imediately

[crazywalrus]

thanks mark

[Bri The Pom]

Did anyone use the ramp at fishermans island, can you go under the bridge to the river,just checked comslie ramp and its alot further up the river

I read a post from Ray saying closed thursday onwards,i want to go this wednesday.

Cheers

Bri

[Old Scaley]

Hi Bri I used the ramp today and it is open both ways. Ray's post says you will be good on Wednesday, but Thursday & Friday you will only be able to go towards Manly, not into the river.

Good luck. Might see you there.
