Bris River Easter Sunday '24

[mangajack]

So Raef and I did a quick run in the Brisbane River this afternoon with the winds dropping off a bit and the showers clearing. Launched at the Pinky at 3pm and fished until 7pm with plastics. My best was a snapp about 55 that was sent back....then a tailor about 50ish.....not welcome in my boat.

If you want a feed of tailor go to the grain  wharf at Pinkenba at night and throw anything into the lights under the wharf....you could bag out in 30 minutes easily. They all seem to be 40 to 50cm there tonight.....I wasn't interested but had to throw a lure into the lights anyway.

Water quality is decent but the run made it a challenge to work the lures well....next weekend will be better tides.

No photos, nothing worth the cost of the flash.

Good stuff @mangajack. Do you ever see any threadfin feeding under the lights when the tailor are there?

Hi Hamish, only in the city reaches for me and not when I've been actually fishing.....nearly all of my Brisbane river fishing is below the gateway bridge to the bay. The guy to talk to would be Joshua Charles BrizVegas fishing....he  has a couple of youtube vids of surface threadies in the bris riv.
