Kreel: Generally no in our experience. Though for different reasons that what you'd expect. Usually the way a Jack gets off is that it busts you off or straightens the treble, so you're gonna have to stuff around for a bit re-rigging so you sort of miss the opportunity for another shot. However, if you get a hit and it misses it, then yep, they'll hit it again the next cast.

There were some great Bud Light adds during the super bowl. Good ones by Coke and Doritos as well

Stonker fish! I reckon that'd be close to the best ever 1st fish on a lure!

Kev, it's just patience. Just keep fighting the fish until you can land it. Never try to land it when you first see it surface; it takes many goes.

This is all assuming the fish doesn't bust you off within the first 5 seconds, which frequently happens with Cod and Jacks

Got a 60cm Estuary Cod on 4lb Braid, 6lb leader. Swam up a concrete pipe about 10m and took me over 10mins to land it. Bricked me twice...

Found some other, better quality pics of our dog. Kelpie x Cattle Dog x whatever...:laugh:

I think that the pelagics tend to be in good numbers up there around winter. So would be good on the spinning and poppering front

Lol:lol:

I guess that our dog is just behaving they way she was bred to as well

Lee: Really:blink:?

Our dog just stays around us. Because she's so dark, she's gotten locked outside a couple of times(outside our gate) and she just waits at the front door, waiting for us to let her in:)

You know it. She gets really goofy when ever we pull up on a sandbank at places like Jumpinpin. She can sprint for ages.

Pity she's stuck near the city so there aren't too many wide open places for her to run around in:(

In action on the boat:silly: she loves to come out with us, no matter where we go:) [img size=374]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/sooty_boat_dog_AFO.jpg

Dunno how these'll turn out, but here's our 3.5 year old Kelpie x Cattle Dog x Border Collie x any other working dog:silly: Picked her up from the RSPCA when she was 6 months old. Bit of a goofball, but a member of the family:)

She's an cool dogB)

I never said that I had any pictures:huh:

If you don't want to believe it with out seeing it, that's fine. It's your choice

Yeap. And some have been caught in the Logan (as a few people said above) and one was caught at Jumpinpin

I guess everyone said that Threadfin would never be caught in the river, and now look how many there are. Bring on Global Warming if it means that the northern species are coming down:woohoo:

This isn't just a tall tale or anything. It happened!! The fisheries inspector saw the fish.

Like I said above, it probably isn't a wild migrant Barra, but it was there.

I'd put money on it spilling in from a private dam or something

That's what I think as well. Probably got washed out or released in the upper reaches of the river and then was washed further downstream during the floods.

My Dad's a docter and he see's alot of people and sometimes talks to them about fishing and one of the people he see's is a Fisheries Fish Counter and this looks a the types of fish being caught and how many. You may have been approached by one at a boat ramp before:dry:. They just come up to you and make a tally of fish caught. I don't think that they have any legal power so they can't fine you.

Anyway, he told my Dad today that someone caught a 1.3m Barramundi in the Coomera River. This guy was using pillies for Mangrove Jack and he caught it as bycatch:ohmy:. They don't know whether it was a wild one or just an introduced one. Unfortunately, when they tried to release it, it died so they kept it.

Just thought I'd let everyone know:)

Yep. I think I've been there before:D. When we went to the spot I'm thinking of, a creepy old man came up and started talking crap. Talking about John Howard not liking something, selling razors, owning a massive pharmacy and then asking my brother if he had started to shave yet:S

Thanks for the clarification

I've heard of Cams Rocks from a number of members but I'm still yet to pinpoint its position. Odds are I've fished there before though.

Can anyone give me simple (very simple) instructions on how to get there from somewhere like Breaky Ck or Bretts Wharf?

Thanks

OK, I don't understand. Do you think you could put up a couple more pics.

And then make a program to show us how to follow all those pictures.

Dolphin fish grow 30cm in the first mont and reach full size in 4 years

They're really old fish, so we usually don't take them. But legal size is 23cm.

Excellent as flesh bait,schnapper love it. Too boney to eat may be ok if minced . I just couldnt be bothered.

They have only become prevalent on the bay over the last 5 years before then I hadnt seen one.

They say that Snapper used to keep the Grinner stocks down but overfishing of Snapper has lead to a major increase in Grinner Numbers

Think of a Catfish cross bred with a Pike Eel. What comes out is a Grinner.

This is a good picture
