queensland how to get to shultz canal?

[dexxl]

hi all, i'm new to this forum and after reading an overwhelming praise for schultz canal. i am very keen to try it. problem is, i dunno where the heck it is... whereis.com doesn't show it. i even googled it and closest thing that came up was toombul station. sooo does anyone have a street name that i can punch into the GPS?

i'm really keen to try catch something on lures, soft or hard. i'm pretty sucessful with bait, but when i try lures. it's like playing throw and retrive by myself for hours... so i guess i'm asking WHERE on the shultz canal can i lose my virginity with a lure. erhh u get the idea... i dun even care if it's a catfish! i just wanna freggin catch something! i might even settle for some riverweed!

This question is the most asked on the website :laugh:

Here's a thread with an answer from a day or so ago.

I can "raise ya" on the riverweed!!

Was down there 3 weeks ago, outgoing tide.

Bang, good strike and rod goes over....as I was winding in..

Think - "oh yes its a good flattie".

Actual - a discarded crab pot.

Good luck with anything over any above riverweed or tossed crab pots!

i cast netted a office chair at jindalee

[faulked]

i pulled in a mountain bike on a hand line at deagon:)

lol an office chair.. the easiest way i know to get to shulz canal is just go on nudgee beach road. head straight up past that confectionary warehouse place, keep going untill your opposite virginia soccer club and just go down the grass there.

Mate go to google maps and type Kedron Brook Floodway or Nudgee Beach. All the smaller waterways around there are great fun for flatties and cod etc.

Welcome to the site by the way.

We really should post a definitive thread or article on how to find Schultz, where to fish etc. Then when people ask as they do we can simply direct them towards a section on the site that will answer all their questions.

Yeh we should. Ellicat raised this issue in an earlier thread this afternoon and I tried to see how to add an article on it, but I couldn't find out how.

Like I said in that thread, I'd be happy to write it:)

thanks for all the advice, i think i should be able to find it now. nudgee beach is definately my fishing residence. i catch a heap of bream, tailor, winter whiting and the odd flounder. however, all very small. so small infact, i bought myself an ultra ultra light tackle (1-2kg shimano rod and the smallest daiwa reel i could find) just so i could get a kick out of it

being there is the most important thing, whether i catch fish or not. i get spoilt there cos there are no snags and the fish seem to catch themselves. but taking my often neglected dog out for a run on the shallows in always good for the soul.

i will try shultz canal, most likely next weekend. and will post to let you guys know my results.

thanks again!

The next instalment will be how to escape a DLP at shultz canal, as the alaskan dept of wildlife and fisheries would say a defense of life and property.

fishing shultz at daytime is always ok. u don't have to worry about anything except snakes. just watch ur steps and u'll be fine.

using 1-2kg rod at shultz should be fun. especially if u try a bit bait fishing with that rod.
