queensland Best Brisbane River Session Ever

[Dan23]

Me and Kev found a nice fishing spot last night. Managed to catch some decent fish on soft plastics.

We also saw some nice scenery we hadn’t noticed around Brisbane before.

Kev landed two of these and one massive bust off. [img size=282]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/kev__s_thready.jpg

I tried out my two new rods. This was my first fish on my 1lb trout rod a nice mid 30s [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/nicebream.jpg

[Dan23]

And this was my first on my new 6-12lb Trion, took 15mins to land. Hope no landmarks give our spot away lol. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/thready_statue.jpg

[Rocket75]

Nice fish "Devil Boy", I bet you and Kev were stoked:cheer: , suprised I didn't hear him from my place! I'm going to start tailing you two and find this mystery location, I must be one of the only fisherman who hasn't caught a threadie yet:blush:

Nice work.

Rocket

[STU]

Nice fish fellas the threadies must of been attracted to the lights of the statue :laugh:

[MichaelJ]

great session there kav and dan:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

and rocket i havnt caught a threadie yet lol

and how big were the threadies?

[ellicat]

Couldn't be the Brisbane River - that water looks blue:laugh:

[Dan23]

Thanks guys we were pretty pumped. Was a great little session that's for sure.

Oh, and my thready and bream are still there so I can go back and get em in the BRC!!

[kevinchen19870316]

should've brought my BC and load it with 50lb leader!!!!!!!!!

i got hits from meter+ ones but i didn't have a chance to land them

[Dan23]

Yeah you still did ok to land yours on 2lb line Kev.

[kevinchen19870316]

haha, it's quite fun and risky catching them on 2lb line but man i did it. lol

wish i had my BC so that i won't be praying: a smaller one please when a fish hit. haha

i should've take a pic of the 2nd fish. it's way bigger than the 1st one. well, u were too busy fighting urs i know.

[STU]

Light line and spin reels kev you have changed your fishing drasticaly and look what your catchin now.

[kevinchen19870316]

lol, if i had my BC, u'll see me holding a m+ thready for pic. lol

just kidding

but with BC, i'd defi have more confidence when throwing sp in front of the bigguns

[STU]

Yeah I got my m+ threadie on baitcaster more confident with a bit more weight to handle them I would freak out till the threadie was in the net with light spin gear

[kevinchen19870316]

yeah, that's right.

it's easy to land ones under 60 with my 2lb line but for anything over 70, i'd love to fight them with my BC so that i can have a peace of mind.

[Dan23]

I was fishing what you'd probably call medium weight spinning and until I landed mine I had no real confidence I could. You really would feel more in control with a nice BC that you could thumb. I was constantly tweaking my drag and controlling the spool with my winding hand.

[adri4n]

Thats fantastic, don't worry about the threaddies rocket, I haven't caught one yet myself...

[shortie]

What time were you fishing Dan. I thought i heard a girl squeeling in the distance throughout the night. Could of been Kev. lol

Ha ha ha ha ha:laugh: :cheer: I actually heard a scream too when Kev was fishing a small distance away and no one else was around. How do you explain that Kev????

Mine was about 80cm, only had a 40cm ruler so was hard to measure. Kev's ones weren't measured but they weren't as big as mine:P

Next time I'll take a heavy outfit and try and land a one meter + It's seriously nasty territory there though so landing a fish like that will be very difficult.

[Cowfish13]

That's awesome. Well Done!!!:woohoo:

What lures did the damage?

I tried all sorts of HBs and no hits. As soon as I used Kev's used 2" Gulp Shrimp the fun started. It must resemble their food source or something. The exact same gulp and jighead landed all 4 fish for the night. Don't know what brand the jighead was because was Kev's.

[kevinchen19870316]

we tried a few lures but settled down with gulp shrimp 2' for some reasons.

1, won't be crying when a meter+ one hit the lure.

2, sp don't spook fish.

3, fish love it

[Cowfish13]

Thanks for that:)

I've got a couple of packs of those so I'll give em a go next time

[Dan23]

Yeah that was the first time I've ever caught anything on a gulp shrimp. I never thought much of them. just bought a pack today though:cheer:

[kevinchen19870316]

i reckon small HBs will work as well but i didn't really try. i got 1 hit on jackall TN60 but missed hook up .

next time i'll cast some lucky craft staysee 130mm, lol

[fishyman]

ive heard threadies dont like the rattle of lures so much and thats why the mask vibes work so well. like a TN60 without rattle

[flathead]

WOW IM JEALOUS thats a sweet sessions guys always good to get them on lures what size were the jig heads you were using and colour of the shrimp?

[MichaelJ]

how come threadies like really small sp's?

[Dan23]

The baitfish around there were tiny so I guess that's why. I think the jighead was pretty light but you can't really make a call on that sort of thing without sussing out tidal flow at the time. The shrimp was a grey white natural colour.

[jeff f]

they probably matched the size of the prawns they were feeding on

[pinkey]

Gw guys, Threadys are going off atm.

[username_taken]

damn you guys! where was my invite ?

congrats on the threadies

[fishyman]
