  2. Greg here, and a new Boat

    in Introduce Yourself

    Posted

    I lived in Yeppoon for 10 weeks in 2019 and tried fishing land based at The Causeway and Emu Park and went on my uncles boat about the same distance off shore and got bugger all. I caught more fish at the top of Farnborough beach at the mouth of the river there with low tide some queens and big dart being in the pools of water trapped in then at the run out blue salmon and queens in the waves at the mouth there. Used to use metal slugs, popper, fresh worms and pilly cubes.

    There used to be a guy on here called Madmullet he put this up for shark fillets. I tried it with shovel nose and stingray and its bloody awesome. I used the Samboy ones as they seem to have loads of flavour. 

    Great recipe!

    definitely not my choice..... can only guess the system is default tipping for me

    EDIT some tipping sites tip the away sides if one doesn`t lodge tips for the round.... 🤔 may be my lucky round if that`s the case 🤣

     

    Hey GAD this happened to me a few years back I had to reset my phone as I was doing it on my phone. As in turn it off and let it reboot. If its the computer and you haven't shut it down for a while sometimes restarting it helps... Otherwise as Ellicat said try logging out and login again... Hope this helps! On a side note after all these years being on the site I just discovered you live in Silkstone... My family is from Karrabin and I am born and bred there. Living in Childers at present but am back every fortnight visiting my kids... Should meet up one day for a coffee. Keep safe.

    I was going to say your tips would probably transfer over if you use the same tipping site.   Hmmmmm .. Brian, are you able to uninvite him ...... 🤔🤪😁

    Sorry mate....... I can uninvite myself if I have annoyed you that much. I have been in the comp the last 3-4 years...... I normally come 3-5 just below Ellicat.

    Hey lads sorry I didn't join the comp this year. I have been so busy with my kids and focusing on them and trying to not have the ex take them off me that I forgot to join. ON a positive note I have had 2 perfect rounds so far and leading my school tipping comp by 4 points. Robbie you have to stop tipping the Broncos but I do agree with kmcrosby that they did play well against Panthers. Hopefully they play like this more often. My tips for top 4 are Penrith, Bunnies, Roosters (injury preventing), St George. Mine and Ellicats beloved Tigers well we will see but. I don't think they will make there 9th spot like normal. 

  13. Heading up to Five Rocks in Byfield

    in Saltwater

    Posted

    Hey man just make sure your tyres on car and boat trailer are down the hill half way through is tough. I went through in 2019 and it had been rained on a week or so before I had the 1HZ 80 series on 20psi and I ended up dropping to 16 as it was like powder on the hill. Great place amazing fishing off the rocks at bottom of beach. I fished from farnborough beach (Yeppoon) for 10 weeks at the mouth of the river and got blue salmon, queens, massive dart and bream in the waves. 

  17. brisbane river session #84 [my type of party!]

    Hi all

    After doing tennis in the morning today, it was my sister's birthday party. I tried catching up on some sleep but Dad got me and before I knew it, it was time to go. He told me the spot we were going to was on the river, so I excitedly packed my telescopic rod, a little bit of gear, some bread and lures, and some water into the bag and we set off. I was thinking the spot I would get to would be tidal, and maybe even a jetty of some description if I was lucky. WRONG! 😉

    After the short drive, we arrived in the Kholo Botanic Gardens. We sat around, my sisters and her friends did all the party stuff (and I ate junk food), and sooner or later they had left. I'd had  quick squiz at the river, and it seemed like it might all just be reads down to the river.

    Dad and I went down a path, called the 'Brisbane River Trail' and past a pond. It had lots of little fish in it, probably baby Tilapia or Garfish, but one thing that caught mine and Dad's eye was a floating lure. I quickly hopped in and grabbed it, and, "Hey, Bingo!", I had myself a new lure. It needed new hooks, but I was pretty happy with it. Our theory was it had been washed down in some sort of flood, as we didn't think anyone would use a lure this big here.

    After that, I pointed out a path to Dad. It was nice and shady, and also going down in the direction of the river. We decided to go down, so after a nice walk we saw water. The first spot I could've tried was sitting on a log at the mouth of a little drain, which probably would've been OK for a bass, but then we found a nice little park area, so we decided to go there.

    Down we go

    New Spot

    After a quick look in the water, we saw garfish swimming around. I knew this was good, and I saw some eating the plant that was growing in the water. I threw out of a bit of bread after putting on my smallest hook, and it came off straight away, which was disheartening. We saw something swim away which was shortly identified as a huge mullet. I'm sure that thinking would've tugged hard if we landed him! I was sure excited, as I've wanted to catch garfish for some time now.

    I was going to walk out to get some of the plant for bait, but figured I may as well give the bread a proper try first. I threw a couple little bits in, and moulded some on my hook. Then, the went into a feeding frenzy, snapping them off the surface. Tension was building, and in no time a gar had taken my hook. I brought up my first garfish, and was quite happy to say the least!

    This continued, and I wasn't casting my line out one bit. We were thinking I'd need to put on a little sinker to cast but there was no need. I just fed out some line, and I was placing it in. A big 'ball' of gar fish were holding next to the shade, and maybe 2 metres out from the bank. I'd lob my bait in and get nibbles, nibbles, and the bait taken!

    I have more vids, but they were to big to send in file size 😞 

    They got finickier as the fishing went on, and after a while I only had a 50% success rate. We had to experiment with size of bread and how we were hooking them, so after a little while the technique was letting a fair bit of line out (instead of about 50CM, 2M) and really letting them chew on the bait, and simply pinning the hook through once to keep the bread in tact.

    A couple highlights were when I caught one on a bare hook, and when I had to dive on one in an attempt to stop it from getting away. Dad had a crack as well, and he pulled up another couple garfish. They were really fun, and it was great sight casting them. We saw another big mullet swimming out deeper, so it looked like it was minding it's own business and not interested in our offerings.

    In the shade, there seemed to be some little fish, maybe baby garfish or mullet. They were vicious though, and you had to be careful not to get your bait in there or it would be off before you know it. We kept fishing, and there seemed to be more gar and less caught. It was fun, but we ended up loosing track off time. Before we knew it, it was later than anticipated so we had to go. Dad got up me at the end for having one last cast, so we legged it. The bait was put in a slurry at home, and I tried butterflying one. Lets just say that looks easier one YouTube. Lol.

    Alright; so this is the lure I went and retrieved. Anyone know what it is? I had a couple people tell me it was a Kato one of some sort, but I really don't know. It was about 11CM.

    I froze up the gar for bait, and I'm going to try them for a bully tomorrow. Hopefully with some success! A couple questions though, does anyone have any opinions on bread or dough? I know dough would've been far more durable, but is bread the best bait? And, what is the most likely species for garfish? I know about tailor, mackerel, and some reefies like them, so is that about it? Thanks for reading the report if you're still here, and I hope you enjoyed. Here are the stats of the trip -

    Thanks for reading, apologies for any errors. I will add more photos or videos if possible.

    Cheers Hamish

    Hey Hamish I used to be a local there and grew up fishing there and the junction. If you keep fishing where you were you can catch massive catfish between 50-80cm. Use the gar as bait but in chunks or strips like you lilies for flatty. We used to use 2/0 hook with a chunk on it with about a 45cm trace with a small sinker and swivel. There are bull sharks where you were too. Used to live at Kholo fished in that area loads. You should also get stripped grunter and eels.

    Bloody Storm cost me a perfect round! IT's time for Sielbold to go. It's turning out like Farah and Taylor stand off. Like Kevin for the job however concern is the culture of the club is the problem not the Coach. Heard some things about off field shenanigans and also seen some damning video evidence on a guys phone at the pub who knows a guy who knows a guy. Anyways was all legit. There is more problems at the club than they are letting the public know.....
