    Fishing brisbane/gold coast

    in Saltwater

    Posted

    it is near impossible to find a spot near brisbane/gold coast that no-one else fishes.

    Suggestions for success:

    - Fresh or live bait is always best.  In estuaries this could be yabbies, worms, small live fish, soldier crabs etc.  For beach/surf locations live beach worms or pippies are great.

    - try and fish during non-peak times if you can, weekends will always be busier

    - fish as light as you dare, personally I believe anything more than 10lb in the estuaries and surf to be overkill.

     

    as far as locations go - without you giving us a lot of info as to what areas you like to fish and what fish you like to catch it is hard to recommend an area.  there's heaps of spots that will produce well around paradise point, the canals at the back of surfers and along the broadwater, if you put in the time to crack the code re tides, baits, rigs, time of day etc.

    Hobie Outback on a small car

    I’d check the weight capacity of the roof and then the roof racks. Outback’s are about 36-38kg which shouldn’t be a problem on most cars with decent roof racks. Stability wise the further apart the racks are on the roof the better, invest in some good tie downs and you should be fine. It would be significantly easier to lift onto a Corolla for sure!

  19. Blackfish (Luderick) locations Brisbane

    welcome to the forum.

    They are allegedly a more common fish in winter, however, I believe they are around all year (like whiting are a summer fish but you catch them all year).

    I haven't targetted them specifically around the brisbane river, however, have caught several larger ones in breakfast creek in the cast net and one off a sandy beach in the river at new farm as well.  i have seen people fishing for them along breakfast creek and as previously mentioned by others around the boat passage at fishermans island.

    good luck and look forward to seeing how you go with it!

    Great fish Brian! Don’t worry about the worms - they are not harmful for humans raw or cooked, just offputting! You will be able to see them in the fish flesh mainly along the backbone bit. For want of a better description, they look like a white tadpole - white with an oval head and curly tail. You can use a skewer to dig them out of the flesh. 

    Are they the same ones you get in tuskfish as well?

    Looking forward to the prawn run this year. Missed out last year thanks to the weather. Hoping we don’t get another flood this year.  Better get the net out and start practicing. Or better still, make a list of friends who can competently throw the net while I skilfully manoeuvre the tinnie around the other 50 hopefuls.

    Hi, how you doing... 😉
