To do list for local fishing.

[chubbstar]

I'm at a loss. There's so many things I want to do right now, I just cant make up my mind.

A small list of fishing and fish that I'm looking to Target.

After reading this months Bush'n'Beach about Mangrove Jacks, I've been bitten by the bug \"HARD\". So I'll be looking at Lures poppers etc to do the job soon.

As you may know already I scored a bargain not long ago, with a Beach fishing rig (4m rod and Alvey 650B all for $7). I'm keen as to give this type of fishing a go as I've never surf fished before. My main target will be Jew, ooohhh to catch a Jew *DROOL*.

This is just 2 types of fishing and spieces that I'm realy keen to try.

Of course there's more, But I want to complete them first.

I know basicly F.A about this type of fishing, so it's going to take a little while to learn the ropes, Hopefully the fish will follow.

What are your \"MUST DO/MUST CATCH\" dreams. Remember please Keep it LOCAL.

Jayson

PS if you have tips to help others catch thier dream fish, feel free to share them.

mines to catch a shark in the rivers

[woody1]

SHARK!!! yet to pull a shark out. I have studied all the articles and reports AFO has to offer, and will be making a trip to the river some time very soon.

Be sure to tell us all when you want to have a go at those jew. I love a good surf fishing trip, and hope to have a 4x4 really soon.

Shark, I've nailed that 1, Was a pure fluke. Having a boat helped me.

The best of luck.

I to would love a jew of the beach or anywhere else for that matter.

[kevinchen19870316]

threadie, jew, snapper, tuna(any kind would keep me happy), big cod, bullie(easiet amoung all if i take the effort), oh and river cobia. ha

[Brian D]

Ha Kevin that Ippy Cobia would be a catch. :laugh: You do have a sense of humour.

I have a couple to target, Albert River Perch, Albert River Freshwater Mary Cod, Brissy Thready, Logan Jack, Moreton Bay Tiger Shark, Pin Jew and \"small boat\" sport fish like marlin and warhoo. But don't forget the metre plus Barra.

Just a few to chase over the summer.

[Confused]

Thx Jayson well i pretty much go up there most weekends, so when u have a weekend free let me know and i will take you. This offer applies to whoever wants to come, Especially and yakkers i can cary those up aswell, When mine arrives i plan to go around DI headland or if weather is crappy in noosa river.

[Cowfish13]

Mine are pretty simple. The list is in order.

1. A first Mangrove Jack. Any size will do (will be trying mainly with lures)

2. A Bull Shark from anywhere

3. A Tuna from the bay

4. And Schultzy told me that he gets most of his bigger Bream in summer, so I would love to break the 1 kilo mark:woohoo:, but it isn't the higest on my list.

Have being trying for the Jack pretty constantly, especially at Shultz.

[Cowfish13]

I've already got a couple of Squire/Snapper.

But there is another thing I'd like to do, though its not really the right season:huh:

5. I'd love to get a legal Snapper/Squire on a lure. Biggest is 32cm so far on a soft plastic

[Tim a]

As some may know from many nagging posts, I just want a Jack.

Thanks again

[pinkey]

[Oztrav]

[Plastic Man]

jack and or thready on lures cait wait

[chubbstar]

Can someone tell/show me where the Pumicestone Passage is please?

Jays

[Fisher_90]

Bribie Island right through to Caloundra. Probly 30-40km long and is good fishing in parts.

[Dan23]

I have the worst luck with setting goals

Every time I say I have a new mission for summer I get it straight away and spoil all the fun.

Happened twice to me already this summer. First was when i said I wanted to catch my first fish on a popper. 30 seconds later I did. Then I said I wanted to catch a wild river bass. 30 minutes later I did.

I'm jinxed I want something I can spend all summer working towards.

Maybe Thready on a lure land based. Now that would be a challenge.

Or bass at NPD. Everyone else thinks that is easy but it is my number 1 failure.

[woody1]

Dan, I think what you have is a gift. Next time you're fishing say \"this summer, i want a land based marlin\" let us know what happens

[Dan23]

Hmmmmm

It could be done

[MichaelJ]

it actually can be done they catch some in nsw and som1 caught a marlin at mouth of cabbage tree creek

or u could set yourself a real goal and catch a 1000lb marlin

[MichaelJ]

and i also wanna catch a 100kg+ blue marlin early next year

[Dan23]
