queensland Indro Bridge

[Tim a]

Had a quick fish(2 hours) under indroopilly bridge today. It was my 1st proper sharking session so I wasn't expecting much and I did'nt get much either. End result 1 oversize catfish and I found a dead floating estuary cod which was a great suprise.

Any one else fished there before with success?

The little pontoon there is great!

good to see a cod up that far...bad to see it dead thou

how big was it timbo? (the cod)

[BIG DAVE 1]

hey timbo bad luck,at least you gave it a go, which is the main thing. it took me and my mates 10 months of trial and error before we landed our first one. this summer is shaping up to be a good shark season. What bait were u using tim? livies are the best bait you can get.

[Tim a]

Jimmy the cod was about 30 cm but I didnt get to measure it.

Dave I was using mullet flesh but I found my first problem, the traces I made a way too long for casting so I either need to shorten them or find a way to deploy them.

yea i tried indooroopilly bridge and didnt like it much though...its preety solid though if you want some crabs...

[Tim a]

Yeh gerty that wasnt you there was it? I like it because theres heaps of rod holders and I could spend a few nights there.

[Gerty_92]

[tdawg]

Hey tim, i'm tim. im the guy on the potoon unda the indro bridge the other day. I went the next day at about 4:30. i had lots of bite but only caught a bream about 15-20cm. There was this lady there that could two mud crabs as well.

haha nice hey tim. Yeh I was the one having trouble casting my redicoulsy long traces. I'm going back this friday after school until dark and trying again because its been a bit warmer this week and wev'e found that the river dosn't fish aswell after rain. I amazed that after all that we only caught one cattie that day, usually theres plagues of them around indooroopilly. Yeh theres heaps of crabs around my mates pontoon aswell I think that whole area has them.

[tdawg]

sounds good, i might come if thats ok with u. (depends how lazy i'm feeling). where do u buy bait in our area? i seriously don't know anywhere that would sell bait in indro/chelmer.

[Gerty_92]

um its called get a castnet tdawg...gosh...nah jks...seriously the only place to get bait in your area is like woolies buy some cheap prawns from there...

[Tim a]

Yeh thats fine with me, Ill have a distraction while waiting for the sharks to turn up. I live near a BCF so I usually get my bait from there and just bring it with me to the spot. Do you go to school near there?

[tdawg]

nah, i go to school in the city, but i live really close. like a 5 min walk. Gerty will probly come too (since when i last spoke to him). what are you going to use for bait?

Tim

[dom...]

Hmm Terrace or grammer?

To keep it cool during school put it in a cooler bag and put small ice packet things that you use at physios. If you do bring your net be carefull coz there are screwloads of snags.

Tim

[Gerty_92]

Terrace...best skool

[dom...]

sweet good tip timbo...........yeh i keep my tackle trays in one fo those environmental cooler bag things you get from woolies ..so that works well

[Tim a]

haha terrace. I cant talk tho I got to st peters. Indro's ages away from terrace, wouldnt you try somewhere near the city?

[dom...]

indro is on the way home from terrace for me and gerty anyway.............. timbo i know heaps of guys from st peters....julian?? big tall guy with black hair...hes a mad fella.........and bibs lol fat ass.................also what bait are u using for friday........ii got heaps of mullet and u can use it aswell if u want

[Tim a]

dang son that is so moin about bibs! yeha jules is at Ironbark. I know alot of guys from terrace aswell. If I go friday I'll probaly just use mullet or I may bring some light gear and catch some live small catties. When I was going there last time I got some mullet so nahthanks man I don't need any. I have heaps in my freezer from old trips aswell. I'm not sure if I'm going friday as I'll be fishing all day sat anyway, but I still may go.

Tim

[tdawg]

hey howie wer did u buy your castnet?. i looked at some online but they cost like 90$, what are you plannin on getting in it in the river?

Tim

[blue_mako]

Goto Amart and get a Jarvis Walker Maxi Cast cast net. I have had 2. Get them when they are on sale since it's way cheaper then everywhere else. But still even without sales on Amart still beats all when it comes to cast nets. I got my 10ft net for $70. The way they are designed stretches far more then a normal cast net. As they are made from 5 seperate mesh layers. Instead of just 1. A cast net with 1 layer usually springs out then back in quite a lot. I'm not sure is you understand it but yeah. Get one

Troy

[dom...]

yeh i got mine for $50 at this tackle shop at currumbin...(gold coast)................its a 7 ft and it casts really well ...........i can nearly get perfect circles everytime and ive only used it for like 3 hours

i dunno about it in the river...... but they are awsome at oxley anf bretts as ive heard.......will landsberg's bro caught a 55cm flattie in a cast net at oxley
