queensland The First Fish In My Life!

[JAYJAy]

I posted an article last time asking for advice on catching a bass near Lake Wibbon.
I didn't catch any fish and concluded that lake fishing needed a boat.
I went to the mouth of the Brisbane River because I was a poor foreigner and could not buy a boat.
Where there are private vessels, I got a proper seat in the river and I threw a fishing rod.
After tens of minutes of twitching and jerking, I finally caught the first fish of my life.
Even though it's small, it's such a happy moment!
And caught a fish the size of Luer. What a happy day!

Lour is a big w minnow.I began to feel more interested in fishing in the future.

 

And I give this honor to those who helped me in the comments last time.!!

Great stuff mate, those two fish are a flathead and whiting - both good eating if they were bigger. Where are you from originally?

Yeah keep going That’s pretty good for you’re first time fishing .you might want to have a look at tackle shop bargain bin lures as their usually a lot better then those big W lures and possibly even cheaper . I would also recommend picking up a Shimano viper x combo at BCF for $110 and also some braid if you’re serious about fishing.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing. That's what fishing is all about!! Actually really good effort to get a couple of fish the first time you used lures. It takes many people a lot of tries to catch their first fish on lure! 

Well done, happy for you. Nothing wrong with that lure for your first one, it obviously works!

Breaming with bro is absolutely right with those bargain lures

You get buy tons of softbait packs for like $2

I got some softbait shrimp and they never let me down

Keep up the good work!

Nice to meet you Jayjay.

Cracking fish mate. Well done. It is quite an achievement to catch a whiting on a lure, well done!!

Hey JAYJAy

Those are two awesome fish for your first fish on lures, and out of the Brisbane River. Looks like you've found yourself a secret spot! Good job.

Like @kmcrosby78 said above, the first is a Sand Whiting (legal size limit 23cm if you keep fish) and the second is a Dusky Flathead (legal size 40-75cm). They're both good fish to catch on lures  

The advice on getting some better lures is good too.. Or even some soft plastic lures, which are cheapies but work good on most things.

Cheers Hamish

Other way round Hamish just in case you have managed to confuse him ....... first is a flathead, second is a whiting .
