Hoping for a Cod or Jack

[Mr FeLiX]

Afternoon ladies and gents,

I'm dead keen to get out this weekend and head either north or south (within reason) in the hopes of blooding my new combo with either a Jack or a Cod.

PLEASE understand, I am asking for advice but I am NOT asking for your spot X.

I'm keen to try both larger blades and plastics, but I'll also take the cast net and livie bucket/pump should the fail.

I am landbased BTW...Still...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if I hook up you will forever be considered a fishing god.

P.S. WIll be fishing a G.Loomis GL2 B/C matched with a Saltist HRF and 20 Lb braid for a start.

Thank you in advance for any contributions. May the fish be with you

Mr FeLiX

When I fished land bassed for these critters I fished the Pimpama river at the weir, which is on Kerkin rd. I didn't have much luck using lures back then, live bait was the go. We threw the cast net off the bridge/ weir and caught heaps of herring, poddy mullet and occasionally a few tarpon around 30cm long which were excellent as strip bait for jacks. Cod, jacks, bream and small bullies were our main catchs down there. I think at the moment it wont be worth fishing due to the amount of fresh there is, hopefully it will flush out soon so I can launch the yak there.

Thanks for the advice mate, will definatley check it out when the water subside a bit.

fish any bridge over a river/creek on the gold coast on the run in tide - make sure you fish close to the mouth so you get some clean water.

currumbin and talle have bridges a couple of hundred metres form the mouth so they are obvious spots to try. a few of the canals that feed off the broadwater also have bridges near the mouth that would also be a chance - you may have to wait later in the tide though for the clean water to reach them?

Thanks for the advice marty, sounds to me like a plan of action. Sheez, I might need a few more lures though judging by the pylons on a few of those bridges...:pinch:
