Show Us Your Brisbane River Captures

[Angus]

Hey gents.

This has probably been done before but...

I had a huge chat with this guy at work who is still one of "those" people who seriously believes there are no fish except cat fish in the Brisbane River. He concedes the odd flathead or bream may get caught in the lower reaches but thats as good as it gets.

I wanted to start this thread to show his a one stop shop of awesome to make him eat his own hat so to speak

Cheers.

Happy to kick this off...

Little bully.

PB Flathead.

PB Jew.

PB Threadfin Salmon

School Mack caught on the beacons at the mouth.

Not my PB overall but my PB Brisbane River bream.

Cheers guys.

Lets make this a good thread!

depending on his level of education flipper might pass for a species of fish this was the little feller that hung around fishermans island ramps for a while until he was relocated, i think he bit rocket rods hand?
