With ease mate

I used to take my 3.8m to moreton on good days

It's approx 7-9km from the mouth of the river

Flick me a txt a I will tell you how to catch the macs their

Also take a shark rod and when the macs go if the bite, fish for sharks. I usually turn the mackerel into whole baits lol

I will also tell you exactly where to anchor on each tide

I might try and pick your brain soon too Kurt - hoping to go there in the next couple of weeks. Was tempted yesterday as weather was good but had 3 in my tinny (30hp) and a late start so decided it wasn't worth it for the short-ish time period.

Are the schoolies around all year but just more of them in summer, or basically just over summer? And is there just one measured mile beacon or two?

Good luck Chris, looking forward to the report.

Mate, more than happy to help

Give me a call or txt

The schoolers were around last winter, not heaps but they were around

either put the smaller ones out whole or the larger ones cut in half or fillet them

my wife would love me to bring home a 3rd dog, but my 2 girls domino and make ( staffies ) would not like it one bit.

looks very dingoish from neck back..... very light coloured Shepherd. i like it, very differant

i have sharked all threw that area. Bullies are most common but you will catch duskies, hammers tiger and a few other whaler species. Myself, grrenmachine, nook, rosstralia and sharklady did our final trip of the season late may half way up the island. Got on huge hook up where I nearly got spooled on a penn inta 80w. Got busted of on coffee rock.

Try and stick to your warmer months, you will have more success, not saying you won’t catch sharks during winter, it just slows rite down

well i have got a stupid amount of gear so its very hard to choose from as they all have differant purposes, so hear is 2

The Arrogance of Authority

A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas , and talked with an old rancher.

He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."

The rancher said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location.

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me !"

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher.

"See this bloody badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land !! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear......do you understand ?!!"

The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull......

With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....

(I just love this part....)

"Your badge, show him your bloody BADGE........ ! !"

no#1

main spot and most axcessable

no#2

i used to fish this spot yrs ago when my ex used to ride horses and got afew on live podies.

no3# hendersons street park. now i may have spots mixed up but their either is or used to be a boat ramp their or i am thinking of another spot

if i think of some other i will post. it is much better to fish the incoming tide as it is very shallow at low tide.

live podies, bony bream and eel are my choices of bait. their are alot of caties in the area so if you use flesh baits, they will get picked to bits

good luck mate

Cheers Kurt hitting it up tomorrow morning is there any good spots and what's the current like?

mate it does hook at times mate. and as for spots give me a min and i will put a map up

Has anyone targeted the bullies up Logan village way as I have heard of reports of them being there but wondering if it's worth a shot or not

mate their is heaps up their, infact i have caught them as far up as buckley road north maclain another 6-10 away. since the floods, their are alot of snags. use same tec as anywhere else.

as far as im aware you need to go a little south to get the carp. ie over the border towards nsw

the fish youve heard about is tilapia. another noxious pest. when we had the floods they got into the lake at pinerivers park and if you just go down and worm on a float youll get some. and they are in the rivers now and any body of water really.

mate carp are everywhere.... most fresh water creeks and dams around surbubia have them. their are pleenty of creeks and dame on the sth side of brisbane that hold carp, too many in fact.

to easy, if your ever keen for a bow fish p.m me your number

Which bay was that if you don't mind me asking? Did you just patrol around with the spotty until you found them or did you bait the area?

moreton bay. on my tinny i have to big flood lights on the bow facing to the water and we just drifted around over the shallows. but for night time bow fishing you nedd in to be glassed out otherwise the reflection of the rippled on the water make it hard to see

i use to do alot of bow fishing in the bay for big parrot and cod at night. and day time for shoverlies and stingrays

i had the same problem a few weeks ago with my 2500 symetre reel ?? It was stiff to wind and same deal , was all pulled apart and totally regreased / oiled but it was still stiff .

a few runs from a 60cm flattie seemed to sort it out somehow ??

I actually thought the reel had shit itself when it freed up and wound like normal again

Perhaps run the dog on it again and see if they can free it up abit . Put a cardboard fin on its back for a real fishing experience

Im guessing some gear or spline wasn't meshing properly and re seated itself with the drag running under pressure for 4 odd 20 - 30 mtr runs from the flattie

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.lolololololololololol....thats hell funny

Is it stiff only when the drag is actuated, or all the time?.

as soon as i start putting the lever up and the higher it goes the tighter it is

sounds like the main bearing, or you have put the drag back together out of sequence , lever drag sequence?? or your dog has got revenge and pissed on them while you not watching :silly:

lever drag sequence..... please explain

sounds like there could be some old grease in something gumming it up.

can you isolate the part/parts that are stiff??

i totaly flucked all old grease on of every bearing and every moving part and put new real oil in its place.

ok their is no corrosion on any bearings or gears.

before i pulled it apart it was quite stiff to wind.

i have serviced many reels over the years but have never come across this.

can anyone shine a light on this as 1 of my tld25's have done it and a tld30 2 speed also.

thanks heaps kurt

just try and never give up.
