queensland In the river winning gold not silver.

[Funfisher]

Hey Guys

I took my Dad out for a fish on the river the other night to chase my usual target of jew and threadfin. We spent the begining of the night in search of some silver to no avail so we shifted our focuss to the threadfin and came up trumps. I ended up landing four 98,80,91 and a little mid 60's and Dad did manage to hook two good fish but unfortunatly did not end up landing them. All fish were released so someone else will be able to enjoy their fight in the future.

Nice one tristan! Shame about your dad not getting one in the boat......

That release shot is pretty cool for a night time pic!

[muzz]

Wow, that is awesome.

What sort of gear are you using targeting them?

[fishingnut]

Nice reward for braving the cold

Cheer mate and this time i was using a shimano scorpion DC on a megabass 10-25lb stick and 10lb powerpro main & a rod length of 40lb black magic tough trace and lure was a 16 gram threadybuster in the blue colour.

cheers Beau it was freezing i am glad i had an extra few layers on and my Buff for the cold boat run.

Can you elude to what part of the tide you target them on? and,

Do you sound up a bait school and pepper it?

Just asking mate because you seem to have unlocked the key

I was up at Bribie last Saturday with a mate and I reckon that threadies were busting up baitfish against a sand bank. It was on the change, rising tide. It was pretty cool to watch a gold flash smash through baitfish in the shallows! Pity the wind was blowing its ass off and only had the 3lb bream gear.

[Funfisher]

I usualy do best around the top of the tide and you have got it in one.. find the bait and you will find the fish. That would have been awesome to see out at Bribie, I am keen to target them in the pine one of these days too.

I have been in the northern America's for the last few weeks so maybe a little of their gold mojo rubbed off on me hahaha

Hahaha classic Nadders. Try doing it in my boat at 70 kph! But I must admit the cold is soon forgotten once a good fish hits the deck.
