Squiding at newstead...maybe?

[Jeryl]

Haa its the question ive been thinking about all week...could there be any squid around newstead area because i reckon if the threaddies and jewies or even dolphin all call the river home so why not squid too? They're probably feeding on squid too right and newstead has the structure too but i'm just a bit doubt about the water quality and flow, or has anyone actually seen them around? :laugh:

[Terry H]

Definitely seen them at other brisbane wharves.

easy jeryl, i'll give my squid jigs 20mins tomorrow night.

[kriso]

worth a shot specially if you find somewhere thats pretty well lit too or chuck a small glow stick above the jig

[Jordan]

we get a fair few in the cast net there at some times of the year. never actually taken note exactly when because they dont interest me at all but we use to get them in fairly good numbers for a couple of weeks or so before they would disapear completely again for months on end

[Jeryl]

HAHA alritey Kevin let me know how u go tmro or maybe i'll drop by too.

So thats what the massive Cobia in the river eat.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to try your squid jig, I might have had some squid on my rod the last time as there was a small hit, some weight and then nothing, like I pulled the hooks or they let go...

[Jeryl]

haha nah .. just stiring u guys alittle... but i reckon Squid needs salter waters to live.,.

[pinkey]

newstead isnt salty?

thers defenetly squid there, but they would be pretty spread out i would think unless you know wher to look

[kevinchen19870316]

i just fished the river at toowong with squid jigs and got 2 nice squid at dead low tide. both hit came right against the rock which made me think maybe a cod wanna try the big jigs. they were 28 and 31 body length( so head's not included when measuring).

also got a tiny cod no bigger than my squid jig! was gr8 fun for 1hr fishing.

only stiring
