queensland Raby Bay

[Aaron H]

After a long boring rainy afternoon (Not complaining great to see rain) decided to head down to Raby Bay just to test out the new baitrunner reel I got off ebay. After about five minutes the reel screamed off and after quite an impressive fight pulled up a nice fork tail catfish. Meanwhile after buggerising around trying to get it off the hook the other rod screamed off and after another great fight was very surprised to see a nice snapper. First one I have caught down there as I normally get Tailor of the rocks there. So quite a nice addition to the esky. After that the crabs moved in so decided to call the quits.

good catch mate - what was our bait?

[Terry H]

awesome, where abouts at raby bay was this?

[John]

when im down at my boat moored at raby bay i always see these huge bream under the marina pontoons, and always tell myself i should throw a line in. after seeing those fish i think i might next time

im guessing you're fishing the mouth of Endeavour Canal of Raby Bay as it goes into Moreton Bay to get snapper and tailor?

[Aaron H]

Brian, just using unweighted pillies.

I usually fish both canal entrances guys, this was the one Ormiston side, theres a big park nice comfortable grassy area to sit in, instead of tripping down rocks

[John]

cool, i usually see a few people fishing from the rocks or park into the channel there when we take the boat out from our berth in the Raby Bay Marina, now i know what they might be catching.

sometimes i even see some super keen people fishing into the channel, out waist deep in water on the Ormiston side of Endeavour Canal, offshore like 100m on the shallow edge of the canal.

also, the Ormiston side canal is called Endeavour Canal and the Cleveland Point side canal is called Ross Canal

Great snapper, but why'd you keep the catfish?

[efess]

very nice catch mate.

[Aaron H]

Cowfish, kept the catfish because I have a mate that swears by eating them, mind u he eats eels and mullet raw so starting to wonder if he has tastebuds

[blue_mako]

Nice Squire mate. I bet he fought and went down well on the chew! .
