queensland Logan and Albert Rivers

[aridyne]

Hi all,

I've been fishing out of Skinners Rd Carbrook Boat Ramp recently and moving up and down the Logan and Albert Rivers. Haven't ventured out past the power lines really. Last 3 trips I have not really found a spot worthy of anything. I've only caught a small Bream and to be honest I've had more luck landbased chasing flatheads with soft plastics. Are there any particular spots worth trying. I am a soft plastics person and only use 2-4kg and 3-6kg rods. I like to catch and release with the odd keeper for the BBQ. Is it just me or is it quiet around the rivers and if not what's biting?

I'm in a 4m, 25hp tinny. I can get out into the bay and along Jumpinpin etc but I would like to try my hand in the rivers first as I am new to the area.

Cheers

The Logan River is turning to shite.

I blame the trawlers and the run off.

However I caught this today and it's bigger brother (got off) so I suppose there is promise.

Mulloway 70cm caught on cheap cooked tiger prawn from woolies.

Thanks for the feedback Vaughan. I wasn't aware of the trawlers would affect the Logan river so much. I have noticed how dirty the water is downstream compared to the mouth. I'm going out again today for another squirt closer to the mouth this time. Hopefully I can pull up a few.
