New to Brisbane and looking for fishing friends.

[Memsmullowayhunter]

Hey all!

Little about myself, born and raised in Sydney however moved upto Brisbane with my partner. Don't have much of a social circle up here and would love to meet some new like minded people and go for a fish. I have done a fair bit of fishing in Sydney, love chasing squid, kings and the ghost of the estuary. It's amazing how many species we have up here that aren't in Sydney. I mostly do bait fishing with occasional soft plastics fishing. Currently only really doing land based fishing however will be buying a boat late this year or early next year. I work Monday to Friday in an office role and impatiently wait for the weekend to soak some baits. I'm a male in my mid 30s and looking at meeting some locals who want some company fishing.

Welcome to the forum, can't help as I live in NQ.

Born and raised in Sydney, weellll, we won't hold that against you.

Some one from down your way should be along shortly with some help.

Look to join a local fishing club, put notice in local tackle shop.

Good luck.

Hey mate, Welcome to the forum.

I fish the Bay quite a bit, but only weekdays as I'm retired. Do you get RDO's ?

Unfortunately not, I do work from home frequently and finish in the afternoon, so some week day arvo/evenings i do get out.

Okay, I do some arvo/evening sessions, so will keep you in mind and send you a PM, if we can get the stars to align.

Welcome to the forum. I’m mostly fishing weekends at the moment because my main fishing buddy works during the week. I’ll try to let you know next time we’re going out.

I didn’t know that you had come out. Good for you, Brian. Was it a surprise to Mrs Ellicat?

Although I wasn't born in Melbourne, I did spend most of my early life there till I started travelling and then came back, married had a couple of kids and then escaped permanently with my wife and very young kids to Qld., you couldn't pay me enough to live there again.
