Fishing was slow yesterday but got a few in. Biggest issue was visibility, finding fish to cast at was the hardest part

Right at the end of the tidal influence there.

I would like to have an exemption to allow bow fishing carp and tilapia. Would be much less frustrating.

What kind of lures will the tilapia take at Rochedale?

something really small with lots of trebles or Berkley earthworm softplastics rigged like bait. Otherwise the only plastic small enough for them to readily attack are Damiki Bings

But when they are in a feeding mood poppers work too. This one is a big timber bass popper from D&S

I find the best way to tempt the ones not feeding is to cast a small float past a nest with a red wriggler worm about 10cm under it. Slowly edge the bait into the fishes face and eventually it will mouth the worm. Wait a while for it to get eaten then slowly lift the rod to set the hook. When it is windy, forget it.

Ir you are talking about the ponds on the left of valley way just before the shopping village they are no fishing courtesy of the progressive redlands council.

I queried Redlands Council early this year about fishing council controlled water and their response was a shock.

"Fishing is not permitted in any council controlled water or land"

I tried clarifying that its just the ponds in parks that are out of bounds, but apparently Tingalpa Creek is out of bounds too. I guess you are allowed to use the ramp to launch your boat but better only head to the bay. (or maybe referring to the non-tidal section)

I guess the kids wetting a line on the foreshore at Cleveland are in line for some council fines at some stage.

Mad Alvey bro. What rod and brand of bread did youse?

9foot Wilson Rod. 6lb mono straight through. Multi grain from Rays Bakery at Oxley.

Product: Damiki Monstermiki 2.5" 4.5" and 6"

Type: Plastic, shrimp scent

Colour Range: 6, plenty of solid colours to choose from

Preferred Colour Thus Far: white

Quality: strong scent, soft with heaps of movement

Action: best when lightly weighted and wafted down the water column

Experience: the downside is that they are a pain to cast when lightly weighted. Better suited to dropping over the side or with the 2.5 inch I like to present them to bream and bass with a intermediate line on a 6wt flyrod.

Has produced the goods skinny water bassing and chasing bay snapper. Throwing a 6 inch one onto a 2oz nitro jighead and drift through pearlie terrain and it outfishes bait every time I have been out on a baitfisho's boat.

Sweresy, it was just nice to see you getting past your clean hands OCD

The guys at work tell me the same thing about the Brisbane river too.

Are you using 60lb mono with a paternoster rig and stinky old bait too?

Pss.... No need for Tomca to answer the Queen Street Mall question ;-)

I use a big ass trolley, causes more carnage than a little panel of plastic :whistle:

Don't do it Henry you will look too much like an illegal. :silly:

Imagine the harrasment you will be on the recievng end of from fisheries, not to mention border security.

Imagine the harrasment you will get from me :evil: :evil: :evil:

I did own a pair of these, they are comfy as

company policies aside, you can work if you are under 14 with some restrictions, like not more than 10 hours a week or after 9pm, from memory, but the powers that be change rules every second day so try this:

a tiddler by yank standards, type 'noodling' into youtube and check out the size of those catties and the 'bait' they use :ohmy:

I prefer mullet for jacks and a hook tied to the end of your line.

Hook goes through the nose of the mullet and cast it up against the rock bar or rock wall. Anywhere will do at the moment. Canals like Pelican Waters or Coomera River. Still yet to get a jack on a lure, but everyone else I fish with gets them, ranging from plastics to big blades or small bream hardbodied minnow lures.

kayaked the upper Noosa River last year and the bass were non existent. Other campers had luck at night landbased catching some solid bream. It gets very choppy on the lake when the wind picks up.

Old thread but thought I might introduce the new member of my family. She's a tibetan spaniel cross and the g/f is unimpressed I started training her up like my other dog I use for work:lol:

Should stay small enough to keep me company on the yak. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Honey_and_Dix.jpg
