after yesterdays efforts with mark i was keen to hit the mouth of the river to see what the humble pilchard could pull from the river, i started the day near the dredger flicking a new yo zuri vibe and managed about 30 tailor from 30cm-45cm and a lil flatty,my camera was not working properly as the screen is shattered , so no pics of tailor.

i moved to the docks and started with the pillies, i managed some monster hub caps, big catties and shovelies. i was a bit annoyed at the camera so i started banging it and pressing buttons and ching it came to life :woohoo: i stuck it out in the one spot and put up with the vermin :dry: then my old mojo baitrunner started buzzing, after a strong but short battle i had a nice jew boat side, quickly netted and to my surprise i had my first brissy legal jew 75cm :woohoo: :woohoo: i continued fishing and not long after the bloody lil symetre 1000 screams its head off zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz z z z z zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and after some very close to the pylon runs and a very sore wrist 3 mins later i had a great brissy snap in the boat, 61cm on a symetre 1000 was a hell of alot of fun all though 10lb is a bit much for the reel as it twisted up and i thought it would break the reel :laugh: :laugh: great fun!! i eneded up with a few 37cm and smaller snaps that all got there freedom as i had 2 great fish sitting on the deck!! so once again the bevans pilchards do it again! ;)106_0010_800x600.jpg

51mpl-probally a ray, but chance a cod or jack if in a rocky area ;)

hooked-on-trout, never ever use gangs in the river, snelled 6/0 circles for the jew and single 5/0 circle for the snap as the lil rod i only put half pillies.

tugger- :laugh: couldnt resist buying a box of pillies on the way out, was meant to be a lure only day, but i could hear the pillies calling my name!!

Great fish Wes - not bad for the humble Brissie River on the humble old pilchard!! Very jealous as I put my motor in for a service on Monday and waiting to get it back. I'm a school teacher on holiday so itching to get amongst them. Couple of quick questions about fishing the docks - I've only done it once back in May. Do you bother burleying (at all or just on the slacker water?) and do you bother using the sounder to pick a spot or just pull up wherever? My bro is bringing down a spare battery for me next month so waiting til then to rig up the sounder.

Sorry for all the questions - great catches once again!! Oh and by the way those snell rigs are awesome. Was first shown them by a guy at BCF when we me and some mates called in to get some gear on the way to Teewah Beach to chase tailor - certainly better than using ganged hooks. I haven't tried them with circle hooks yet - is the theory that they produce better hook up rates?

No more questions I promise!

Cheers,

Kelvin.

yeah like all bait situations a lil burley often, usually chop a pilly up every 15 mins or so and scatter it around general area or up stream of current, best at slack where it drops more straight down. the circles on a snell i only started this week, to be honest i miss a fair few fish with circles, but will keep using them for now, when live baiting i just use one circle and it seems to work fine. oh and with the burley aruond the mouth expect the vermin to come on , big rays, big catties and shovelies galore ;) still catching them beats not catching any thing at all waiting for the jewels of the river.
