queensland Livebaiting The Beach - Fnq

[tiotony]

Hi All,

Long time no post for me - have been living in Singapore for the last 3.5 years but got over it because the fishing is terrible. Was time to take a pay cut and move back to Aus and fortunate enough to get a job back home in Cairns. Been back two months and hitting the beaches for the spring salmon run; found the key is reasonable sized live mullet late afternoon and wearing my lucky fishing t-shirt (seem to catch only sharks if not wearing the brown shirt with a shark on it). The odd barra (just before closed season but released anyway - I'll wait for February to take one home) and queenfish has been in the mix, plus a couple of spoolings on unknowns. Looking forward to two weeks off at Christmas when there should be some big king salmon lurking at night. Here's a few recent fish.

Nice vids mate! Great looking Tailor and possibly the smallest hammer head I have ever seen!

Blue salmon mate, no tailor this far up the coast.

Great videos @tiotony - you make it look easy, especially with those windsurfers cruising around near your fish ......  Assuming most of those were blue salmon and not tailor?

[tiotony]

Would be a very lost tailor to be caught this far north!

awesome mate, use to love the blues when i lived in CQ, go hard and taste good if looked after.  nice bonus barra there too, perfect eating size.

 

Any thoughts on the unstoppables?  sharks, crocs, rays?

Awesome. Well done mate. Great to watch. That barra looked great too. Do you just fillet the Threadies?
