List of fish types and time of year migration.

[Burly mate]

G'day guys, I was looking to make a chart of the Brisbane - Gold coast area, of the types of fish available at the different times of the year.

Has anyone seen something like that around or should we all maybe chip in our experienced observations?

Cheers,

Alex

Flathead - July - November

Mackerel - January - April

Nov & Dec closed season for Barra

you can take barra from dams during closed season as with bass but the scale doesn't ring right with some species to me in the south east queensland area.

That's a great start fellas,

That chart was pretty cool, good hunting there, JamesMac. We can use that and add other stuff like summer and winter whiting etc, Might also add some pics of rigs to use and where to fish for em without getting into writing a book.

Never did do my homework back in skool days so i sure don't want this turning into work. :dry:

Just a quick reference guide is all we want.

That might mean adding minimum sizes as well. Hmmm

Anybody good at homework?

Well, anybody finish skool then? :S

Just kidding, i'll get to it.,

Cheers

That is a great start, but maybe we could narrow it down further, rather than stating the best time for a particular species is eight months of the year, narrow it down to just the best two, and make the other six months the "average time".

No problem mate, just give us a hoi and we'll come and bait the hook for ya and wind it in and everything! Or if you like, give us your address and we'll just post some fillets :laugh: :laugh: Only kidding, but how much info do you reckon people can give you in this sort of post? Have a look back at other posts on the site. Heaps and heaps of info on species and where to catch them. Good luck.

Thanks Scaley, i'll have to do that, sounds too much like study but yep, i want to get all the species and mainly get the month and possibly moon phase that the runs start and when they peak off.
