New to Brisbane

[PilbaraBrad]

Gday ladies and Gents

I am new to the Brisbane area, i have recently moved over from Far North West WA, from the Pilbara region. i traded in my North West boat recently for a 5m hornet trophy. I have allready had some pretty good success up in the sandy straits on barra and flatties, fishes a lot different to what i am used to but a lot of fun

I love just about anything, particularly estuary fishing for barra and heavy popping for GT's. I got into fly fishing about 2 or so years ago and having a lot of fun with that as well.

Would be keen to catch up with some people to fish with locally, i live in Manly and like i said am happy to use my boat or decky.

I have attached a couple of photos for interests sake, feel free to drop me a message or reply if anyone local is interested

cheers

Next time your heading up the sandy straits give me a yell, im happy to drag my boat along or tag along with you. Theres some decent popping ground out front of straddie that isnt too far but the trophy would need a really nice day for it

Always up for a decky mate! Heaviest gear I own is 12lb, but use it to chase just about anything haha.

Welcome to the site, you seem to go on some mad fishing trips!

Welcome to the site mate. Was just reading your Port Headland reports - some seriously epic fishing!! Not sure if you've heard but threadfin salmon are quite abundant (and yet as I write this I remind myself that I am yet to catch one!!!!!!) in the Brisbane River. Most popular places I know of seem to be around the mouth on the northern side and the pipeline a few hundred metres inside the river mouth on the northern side.

Plenty of places/spots to explore with a boat like yours. I have a 4.2m Stacer with a 30hp Johnno and need to get out and try a few more places (mainly done the river mouth and Mud Island so far).

Anyway, have fun exploring and might catch you on the water sometime. I live at Murarrie, so not far away.
