where art thou?

[mark]

hey guys,

i'm really in the mood for a nice bream session one of these mornings but i dont feel like driving all the way from kangaroo point out to pinkenba to do so.

Im land based and prefer using bait (just cant figure those damn soft plastics out). Only asking cause im new to brisbane fishing and don't know to many spots. Any ideas for a \"fishing is okay here\" spot for bream thats not 30 mins away from the city?

Also, you can count me in for the BBQ, just where is breakfast creek? Hahaha, i sound so lost dont i? :laugh:

[Feral]

Breakfast creek is along the road to the airport, about 15mins from you.

Other locations you could give a try (I fished these 30 years ago) are

Kangaroo point cliffs (Dock St)

Dutton Park Cemetery (Princes St)

Norman Creek (either Canning bridge or Heath park)

Mowbray park, (Lytton Rd)

Check out the ferry terminals, sometimes some good structure around them for Bream, otherwise check out the above at low tide to see where the structure is.

Well suprisingly you can get bream from most areas along the river now aslong as you have the right bait. But someplaces like breaky creek do out perform most others.

Gday mark.

I would not go to pikenba for bream. Mainly Flatties.

The best bream i have caught in river size wise were at..................................................wait for it.........................................................................................................................................................just opposite Kangaroo point.

I have been meaning to try at the cliffs where people climb for ages as i reckon the rocks there would be teeming with them.

So to save you a drive to pink, i would just walk down there if i was you.

New farm park is good as well and very close.

Angus.

[mark]

all signed up there for the event now big dave;)

you know angus, ive never caught a flathead ever! not just at pinkenba but fullstop! Strange cause im told that flathead are a \"bread and butter fish.\" I have tried many a time but I've always ended up catching something else.

[mark]

hey just looked at the map for breakfast creek and saw where newstead park is. Is that where you guys usually head out on friday night? I thought that there would be a problem with \"undesirables\" at newstead park on a friday night..

[Feral]

Geez the boys are not that ugly!

[Angus]

Mate the only others i ever see on a friday night are joggers and fishermen.

Its all very well lighted etc.

Angus.

[Ash]

And dont forget the drunken slappers yelling out at each other!

[Brian D]

Timbo -what's the right bait?

[Ash]

hey Mark,

even with \"undesirables\", a good sized Angler group tends to be safe. might have something to do with the fact that nearly everyone is packing a massive knife, or in my case a gang hook!:woohoo:

[mark]

hahahaha yeah good point!

I have friday night off work so i might head down as long as i get a free pass for the missus!:whistle: :laugh:

Anyone here thinking of a fish on friday night?

Well it depends on the ethnicity of the \"slappers\", if their of the indigenous persuation, a bottle of Royal Reserve port usually does the job, if their a little older (say 30 plus) spumante is the go, if younger then definately a six pack of \"tart fuel\" (anything in bright colours with 7% alcohol, and a name like \"breezer\")

:evil:

Psh, I must admit those brightly coloured drinks are easy to down. Except I prefer to be able to taste the alcohol, not some raspberry flavoured drink.

Newstead park is ok at night, usually there's half a million cast netters on the pontoon, the odd couple walking through the park, and even some crazy hooligans paddling out in an inflatable boat. Seriously who the hell does that?

[BIG DAVE 1]

In my case i have about 10 knifes, so watch out all u pissed people at brecky. Breezer....raspery drinks are you guys fishermen or chick drink conesuers? I prefer beer! Notice the XXXX hat in most of my pics

Well Kazabri(how ever you want to spell it?what does it mean?)

I now mainly use soft plastics but if im feeling like a bait session I use Prawns or Pilchard fillets. It depends on what you want to catch like if you want to catch something bigger like a shark or salmon I'd talk to angus or troy about live baiting.

[BIG DAVE 1]

If its sharks you are after i can help u. Live baiting is a wise option, i have also had success on chunks of catfish on 8/0 livebait hooks. Allthough depends on the size shark u are chasing

[blue_mako]

yeh i wudnt goto pinkenba for bream... mainly flathead... i had only ever caught about 3 or so flathead b4 i started sp fishing... now ive cort about 30 or 40 haha.. flathead r keen sp eaters... and alota fun to

troy

[BIG DAVE 1]

yeah its 10 times easier to catch a flattie on a plastic/lure than using bait.

[Terry H]

As this thread is NOT a fishing report, I moved it to the Fishing > Saltwater section.

[BIG DAVE 1]

Oh thats right your a moderator. rad

[Brian D]

Kazabri = wife name Kaz + my name brian = kazabri. I was going to call my boat that but now I think I will call it \"fish pest\". Does anyone have any better names.

[BIG DAVE 1]

I once heard of a really good boat name BIG DAVE 1, it was named after this really cool kid who was also a good fisherman, hahahaha im stuck for ideas

dave

[blue_mako]

ive got a good one!!!... \"COOL BANANAS\" haha

troy

god im original

[Feral]

You should always name your boat after your wife, coz then you know she'll never go down on you!

[BIG DAVE 1]

yeah ive heard of that one.

what about these R'Sup, Wayne-king & Sofa-king.

dave

[Tim a]

You guys are the most unpatriotic queenslanders ever! I think he should name something like 'Queenslander' or 'The men in maroon'. These names are simple but effective! (lol)

[BIG DAVE 1]

Dude, TIMBO read some of the other posts, you'll actually find out that Brian is a New South Welshman.

[Tim a]

Davo that was the idea!
