queensland Cracking new farm session, first squire!, pic now

[brisbanebound]

Hi

Couldnt resist going out for a fish tonight as thanks to the boys on here O now know when run out tide is.

Theres a big floating crane on the river just now so coulnt resist having a fish round it using small pilchard tight to the hook with elastic cotton.

Every single cast i was hooking up then losing.

Finally I caught my biggest Bream yet, 25 cm, and decided to keep it for the pot as ive never tried bream before.

The highlight though was catching my first squire, a beautiful wee pinky roughly the same size as the bream. The pinky was returned unharmed, Henry has the pic hopefully he can post it for me.

Heres a pic of the bream, must say looks delicious.

Image too big! Try and resize just now.

Incidentally, what are the legal size for the most popular fish. I know Bream are 23cm but havent a clue with squire, flathead and almost evreything else to be honest.

Really chuffed about the squire, i always thought you had to be at the mouth to get them, they really are a beautiful looking fish.

Cheers

Sorry about the size of the pic, beleive me that was a struggle and I work in IT!:blush:

Cheers Tim

I thought squire was 55cm, but thats good to know. Nothing wrong with taking 1 or 2 squire at that size considering how few you actually catch.

Will be targetting them tomorrow.

Great stuff mate. I was stoked when i caught my first squire at 33cm landbased in the river

[bogan]

nice work, sounds like you had fun.

[ellicat]

There's a maximim size of 70cm on flathead too. (Only Dusky flathead, but until you're confident of telling the difference it's easier to stick to the 40 -70 range. Other flathead have a min of 30 and no max))

Well done on your success - it's all upwards from here:woohoo: )

Great fish, I've had great sessions at new farm and some dud ones, never caught a squire there though so thats nice, if you have a look under 'hints and tips' on the top links of the forum and follow it to fish species you can find all the legal sizes of different species. Great fishing, which side of the park was this?

[adri4n]

I was feeling in a helpful mood so got the link for you, both fresh water and salt water are available HERE

cheers

Cheers henry

Will see you tonight.

I dont normally fish the park but the other side of the powerhouse on the walkway.

Too lazy to walk round to be honest. :blush:

The joggers and dog walkers are a pain but theres something surreal (and comfortable) about plopping down on a bench while fishing.

[flatty_catcher]

you might land a big threadie there too

good luck

[adri4n]

Yeah i know what you mean about the benches, I fish there occasionally and its nice to be able to sit down on a bench while bait fishing...
