queensland bli bli aussie fishing park

[PLASTICK]

ive been told to try and get some whiting herring and mullet from the river so ill throw my cast net around for a bit befor i get there

[Tim a]

Yeah they gave you good advice, also see if you can get prawns.

[kevinchen19870316]

i have found handle backplay on all shimano spinning reels including biomaster, twimpower and stellas, just so disappointed and distracting in finesse fishing. might have a go at daiwas.

line twist....er.....simply cannot figure out why, but i do have them on symeters and a 2004 stella i used in China.

[Tim a]

Respool it really carefully and tightly. And don't forget to get the line facing the right way.

[kevinchen19870316]

i have been using spinning reels for over 10 yrs ( though i am only 20 now) so i don't think i can cast well, retrieve well and battling a fish well when i spool the line in a wrong direction, hhehehehe

simply no worries on baitcasters...i feel home holding a BC in my hand, ha

[Tim a]

Yeah, unless you wanna start casting lightly weighted sp's or tiny hb's. Theres only one bc that can be used for that and even its no where near as good as a spinning reel for it.

[Feral]

I have only just started using baitcasters, mainly for bait fishing for bass -cant work out the casting, about as accurate as a long range weather forecast, but I love pressing the button to drop the bait to the bottom!.

But I had heard once you mastered the casting, it would cast further than any other reel?

Usually from taking the line sideways off the spool, or the spool is upside down when you are taking line from it (I always take line with the spool flat, so the spool spins clockwise as line strips from it.

[MichaelJ]

kevin u could use your baitcaster for the big boys pond

plastick tell me what u get cause im goin there on tuesday

[Dan23]

Maybe we should organise a AFO trip up to the farm?? We might be able to procure a group discount or something????

[rayke1938]

Just saw on another chat board that they are having a night session this Friday night they are staying open till 11pm cost is $40.

[MichaelJ]

dam i was gonna go friday lol

[username_taken]

A AFO trip there would be good fun. Maybe an evening session?

[Dan23]

Friday arvo could be painful with traffic. I reckon if we organised it a few weeks ahead it'd give people a chance to work something out with work to maybe go on arvo mid week. Just a thought.

[MichaelJ]

be better on summer holidays

[Dan23]

Maybe we should organise it for just after xmas or something when people are likely to have time off mid week. I'd imagine it gets really busy on weekends?

[MichaelJ]

theres heaps of room at the park and doesnt get really busy

[rayke1938]

It isnt only for ausfish members it is just their first night session for the season.

I do not know how often they have their night sessions.

Ray

[MichaelJ]

i think they have it once a month

[kevinchen19870316]

yeah, good idea, daniel

just need to set a date

[jeff f]

last time we organised a trip up there we did an allnighter it was great fun

[shortie]

fishing at a fish farm is like going to a brothel.

No challenge and your bound to catch something.

[MichaelJ]

but barra dont live down here so we go there and catch em plus challenging when u fight em and they fight hard

[kevinchen19870316]

better than nothing,hehe

[MichaelJ]

did u guys catch a lot when u went last time?

[kevinchen19870316]

i have never been there, so i really wanna know how fishing is before i go

[MichaelJ]

first time i went was january this year the barra were really active in little creek chuck out bout 5 pellets and lots of barra come up and smash em off surface ill tell u how i went tuesday night after ive been there if i got any

[jeff f]

here's a link to the report we did from the trip last summer

[MichaelJ]

only talked bout 5 ppl's catches though

[kevinchen19870316]

now let's have a AFO trip there someday?

[MichaelJ]

lol kevin has that all u been thinkin bout since dan mentioned afo trip?:laugh:

[rayke1938]

My scottish ancestry is coming to the fore. $40 to fish and then if you want to take your catch home you have to pay for it.

I will prefer to spend my money on gear or going to Lenthalls.

To each their own I am just mean.

Ray

[MichaelJ]

i wouldnt buy the barra to expensive lol $18 kilo and a third of the weight is the head and scraps lol

if u went to lenthals takes longer to get a fish pretty quick at barra farm in right season

[Tim a]

there are night sessions there every second Friday subject to change guys.

[Feral]

If you go fella's be a bit more sensible about it this time around, take turns getting a couple of hours sleep through the night, dont want any accidents on the way home!

[MichaelJ]

not naming any names *cough* *cough* jeff

lol:silly:

[webbfunk]

Much more action when its warmer there.

[MichaelJ]

any spots round the park better then other bits?

[MichaelJ]

whats best way to rig live bait do u attach them to a float? or do u keep em on botom?

[MichaelJ]

not worth starting new thread

we first went to boatramp to get some bait got 3 poddy mullet and 5 whiting or so lol

then we went into park and as soon as we chucked out some pellets for burley barra came up straight away then me and my firen set up rods with livebait(but didnt ever get anything on livebait)the barra kept coming up and taking every pellet except ours and even though it was overcast they were really really active there after about an hour i pulled in the first fish a tarwine 37cm and back it goes then kept trying around there but got nothing so we moved to another spot in park after a while we finally got a barra not me though about 55cm the back to fishing after release same guy out of the three of us caught another one then and back it goes after that i lost 2 from line snapping i had bad leader on though then my other friend loses 1 then i lose another and thats it

and through out the whole day other people were catching a lot more than us about 20 barra were landing throughout the day id say and most the ones were caught by people who had no clue what to do
