Wow, sounds a bit too hectic for me.
How was the ramp rage ?

Good day out, but played with fire and got burnt - that's not what the doctor ordered. haha

Yes it’s certainly a fair trip up there from the Southside of Brisbane, especially on a public holiday .
Presume you got rewarded with quality fish .
We got back from our stint dog sitting at Bribie yesterday and I went for a whiting fish this morning. There was a heap of boats out down the Pin. Surprisingly I managed to find a quiet spot out of the chaos and got a nice feed of pretty good fish .

Dohles was ok...Deckie dropped me off at the pontoon, I reversed down without waiting and deckie drove on and we were off the ramp in under a minute.
There were 4 boats being tied down and about 6 boats arrived at the ramp just after I pulled out....it would have been busier then.
Dohles ramp is pretty good being 3 lanes.....trailer parking is limited to about 30 trailers i guess...sorry 25 trailer parks....i just checked on google earth pro. Best thing about it is there is a cafe that does great coffee at the ramp that opens at 5.30am every day.

Good stuff Ray, sounds like an excellent session. Shame the pie shop was closed.

Looks like you had a good day Ray.
I presume you got the job done for Bill?
Pie shop shut - what a tragedy -a total unjust ending to the day!

Redcliffe was loaded with boats....like a regatta....hundreds of boats everywhere.....pine was the heaviest i have ever seen it too.
2 small snaps, 1 decent flounder, more than 6 tailor up to 60cm.....went into the pine for a look...found a pile of fish near the slabs with two big jew under them.....i pinned 1 jew on 8lb line.....that finished as soon as it found out it was hooked. Raef got done by something decent on the rock shelf.....boated several brassy trevally and small jew.....got about 2 litres of prawns for lunch.
All fish released....

We have been trying to get up to Baroon Pocket dam for a while and been thwarted either due to availability or the dam closed due to rainfall. We finally made it this morning to find the visibility near zero due to a heavy fog that did not lift until around 8am. We used the gps to find one of out usual spots and found the bass hungry . We pulled around 40 before they went quiet so we went upstream and could not find any bass so we went downstream and found another school where we ran out of shrimp . Final tally was 62 bass and one tandan. Largest bass went 42cm and the tandan 58cm. Only disappointment was that Bucks pies were closed due to anzac day. 2 fish kept for the table others all tagged and released.

ellicat reacted to Rebel in New Build - Shimano Vanford 5000 Compact XG + SAMAKI ZING XTREME V2 SPINNING ROD 15 - 30LB
I take two rods wherever I go.
On the rocks or the beach you need two. One for bait & one for lures.
If you are interested in Samaki. The one to buy is the Samaki Zing Gen3 10'6'' 12-25 lb. Top rod. They also have a 12ft.
Just makes life easier.
Cheers.

Mate.
Have a look at the Penn Prevail 2 range. Great rods for the rocks. I have a 10ft rod.
Penn slammer 4500hs. Top reel. I use both off the rocks.
Good luck.

Decent sized kings and jew it will be fine for...salmon flathead and bream it is way oversized....2-4 or 3-6kg rod for the last 3 fish.
You can catch some of the smaller fish on bigger rods but will likely miss most of them.
Opt for two setups.
Nothing wrong with the rod or reel....sized for larger fish though.
The thready below is a 1 metre thready caught on a 2-4kg rod with a 1000 stradic and 8lb braid - 14lb leader....caught 2 that afternoon on that setup, lost none. Pine River 3 years ago. Even small gear can comfortably land large fish if you don't get excited.

what would your likely target species be?
It is a lot or rod and reel.
