I don't know Schultz very well, so I'm guessing it's easiest if we just meet up somewhere around the nudgee rd bridge. Which I think is where the carpark is. see here :

google maps

[shortie]

He knows where he is going. Im just the chauffeur.

Yep, the park is just inbetween the two bridges. If your heading north along Nudgee Rd, you have to go past the bridges, then do a u-turn as quick as possible, and the park is just on the left when your going south along it.

Good Luck.

[Lozzel]

Have fun fellars, I'll be thinking of you while I'm WORKING.

So much for having RDOs.

[pinkey]

Good luck ill be thinking of you while im AT SCHOOL..

[shortie]

KEvin: You still right to fish in this rain or not.

[username_taken]

bloody well better be!

[Fisher_90]

Bright sunshine here and im like 10-15mins from shultz.

[faulked]

how did you guys go at shultz this morning i landed 2 small sharks half adozen 2ft plus catties 1 bream in the castnet and a heap of little catties. i couldnt get up as far as you guys as there is a barge being used as a bridge it blocks boat access up the river at that point:( still it was good structure to fish against on an incoming tide:)

[Fisher_90]

That barge is for the 2nd Gateway Bridge. Its been their for 3months or so now.

[kevinchen19870316]

faulked: hopefully report later tonight. keyword: nothing caught

[Plastic Man]

sounds like a good little session what did you get the sharks on

[faulked]

i used prawn for the catfish and live herring for the sharks i only had 4 big herring and they all got gobbled 2 in one dropped and the 4th bitten clean through on 20lb wire just like snips good for a laugh though

[Rocket75]

Faulked, Sounds like not working FT is aggreeing with your fishing!

Enjoy it while you can, before you know it, it will be work work work...geez I wish I was out fishin:angry:

[faulked]

mate i just spent 4 days tidying up under my house i needed a fish for my sanity thats more work then i wouldve done at work by miles the missus grabbed me on it about an hour after i lost the old job jeez i thought the sharks hit hard lol

[MichaelJ]

how wide is shultz were those two bridges are near the white footpath?

[username_taken]

I met up with Shortie and kevin and spent a couple of hours at Schultz, but there was too much of the fresh flavoured water from last nights rain, so the fish were off.

Gave up and headed up to NPD, getting there somewhere around 10:30(ish). Parked at Forgans ( I think? ) and Kevin explained to me that taking two rods wouldn't mean twice as many fish, so I reluctantly left one behind.

After a bit of walking with kevin stopping occasionally to test the depth we finally found a decent spot. I threw on one of my Aldi lures ( $6 for 4 ) and quickly caught a 30cm Bass

This is my first ever Bass, my first ever fresh water fish to be exact!

Had a laugh at the fact that the Aw/s400/DSC03012.JPG

It's starting to get hot by this stage, and Shortie tells us he's buggered and asks for the time, of course in the 5 seconds he's not concentrating on catching fish, a bass jumps on his lure and he brings in a nice 40cm bass

A bit more fishing, but no more fish, so we headed off around 1pm.

[boon]

Nice stuff guys! Can't wait to fish NPD some day

[Plastic Man]

good work one place not working so go to a new spot and it pays off top stuff

About 10m, maybe a bit wider in some areas.

I have also found that at Shultz, the rain gets all the fish off the bite:blink:

[MichaelJ]

cowfish how deep does it get then?

[Cowfish13]

At the bridges?

Under the Gateway, there is a rocky ledge that is only about 1m at high tide, but there is one section just beyond the ledge (southern side) that would be 2m at high tide.

Under the Nudgee Rd, it would be 2-3m at high tide.

The Nudge Rd bridge is better, We've caught 3 fish there compared to none under the gateway.

[MichaelJ]

na where u mainly fish how deep?

[shortie]

HAd a great day today with the guys.

Mrs asked me why i spent 35K on the boat to fish from the bank.

Oh and next time i wont forget my hat. (ouch) tonight.

Yep im definately to old and fat to walk the bank. Thats why i bought the boat.

Thanks Guys

I had a great day.

That varies alot, but during an average tide, we go to areas of around 1-2.5m deep. But mainly around 1.5m is where we get good results of Bream, Flathead and Cod.

[kevinchen19870316]

shortie ur fine, just a bit more practise than car&boat.ha

[Dan23]

At least you all got fish in the end. And catching Bass at NPD isn't a guarantee trust me.

[kevinchen19870316]

give it another go dan, u will catch some. guaranteed

[ellicat]

Not a bad way to spend a Friday:)

I reckon you're right about shortie - you do look stuffed in that pic haha
