queensland Fishing Bribie Passage

[Coochin41]

Spent a few peaceful days camping up the top end of Bribie Passage and catching a couple of good feeds of big Whiting and the odd good Bream. A very enjoyable way to finish my holidays.

well done mate......some real nice whiting...live yabbies or worms?

[Coochin41]

All the Whiting and Bream were caught on bloodworms. I have never found the Yabbies very sucessful where I fish in the Passage.

Nice work Couchie, but are you going to lets us in on your techniques?

Camping - wasn't it cold?

[Tim a]

That is a beasty whiting coochin!

[Coochin41]

It was bloody cold during the nights , but we were sleeping in cabins not tents . As for techniques . I have gained a few after many trips to the area. It starts from crawling through the mud digging blood worms ( The most important ingredient ) to using a no. 4 long shank chemically sharpened hooks , very small pea sinkers above an 18\" trace and soft baitrunners on 7ft nibble tip rods. Good luck.

Its always good to hear advice from someone who has obviously had success!

Good work.

Thanks Couchin but do we have to crawl through the mud? I too old and fat - I'll sink to China!

[Coochin41]

If the mud is not your go you could try for rock worms around Redcliffe foreshores using a very solid garden fork. Still hard work but you won't sink too far. Alteratively you could con a mate to dig them for you though I haven't had any success with this method as yet.

Thanks again Couchin but I don't have any mates either! Can't I buy em?

On a serious note - you have a lot to offer - Do you want to do a bit in Hints and Tips on the Bribie whiting? it might seam a bit basic to you but every thing is easy when you know how.
