queensland Myles’s catches and questions

[Mylesfisher]

Hey guys welcome to Myles’s catches and questions a place for me to share my catches and my questions

[Mylesfisher]

Here is my list of catches feel free to add questions

[Mylesfisher]

Here is my first shark a shovelnose Me and the boys caught while Trev fishing it took 25mins to reel in and was a cracking fight

[Mylesfisher]

Here is a lovely Trev we caught on a popper after a few jerks of the rod we got on it was a lovely fish

Some good Christmas fun there. Was the shovelly on a lure ?

[Mylesfisher]

Nah mate we did some lures and live bait that day for Trev’s but after lures did not do the job we switched to live bait

[Mylesfisher]

These are the only w catches we were able to get photos of we got a 90cm gt 2 flatheads a 37cm bream and a whiting 

[Mylesfisher]

Here is a Queenie we caught on live biddies we released it as they are a bad eating fish we put it in the live bait tank with a biddie and let it go

[Mylesfisher]

My mate finishing it off

[Mylesfisher]

Gonna finish up this year with some Jack fishing and more Trev fishing gonna spend me Christmas money on two more rods

[Mylesfisher]

What is the best rod for Jack’s? Is baitcaster better than spin for jacks? What line should I use for jacks? What leader? What swivel? How long should the leader be? Sinker size? Best reel? Reel size? And what bait live or dead should i use? Also any good locations I can target in a tinny

 

sorry for the long list but I want my setup to be perfect

also my budget is 250$ for the rod and 400$ for the reel

 

cheers, Myles

Nice work Myles. Sounds like you caught some good fish.

90CM is huge for a canal GT. POIDH. Lol.

If you wanted a spin combo you could get an Abu Garcia Veritas with a Shimano Stradic. Around a 4-7KG rod and 3000-4000 size reel. 20 or 30 pound braid. 30-80 pound leader depending on how big the fish are.

If you’re using lures a lot of people have success on poppers, hardbodies, and soft plastics (ie sugarpen or zman grubz). If you’re fishing with live baits you’d want to try them unweighted and on the bottom. Big livies, like mullet, are supposedly ok. A lot of the questions you are asking you will need to experiment with yourself. Sometimes fish in different areas need different rigs.

I wouldn’t buy a bait caster unless you’re exclusively using it with lures. They aren’t that much good with bait.
