Oh. Okay. That might explain it

Thanks mate, hopefully heading to the port tonight in the tub. Wanted to share some of the older pics i found in digital storage as haven't seen them in years
 
but will have a few more to post up soon.
 
Hopefully some great new catches too 👍

The main areas i used to target back then were the bridges between Kangaroo point to Milton with the odd bass trips, Normally late night outgoing tide after city cats stop casting lures around the pylons and eddies. Some bass trips use to come when i would go gather gudgeons and rainbows to feed my tanks and the odd trip out to the ppo chute which i don't think you can access by foot anymore.
I'm further out west now so do a lot more around Jindalee/Riverhills area.
Have been exploring the pin and southern bay islands aswell last 12 months

Yeah, i got my second biggest snapper at Newstead went nearly 4 kgs  i remember pulling coral up too on some occasions, even caught a few spangleds there and at Brett's Wharf back then too.

Hey jred1
Those are some ripper catches, good job. I’m assuming you do most of your river fishing in the lower reaches and upper reaches of the river as opposed to the middle reaches?
Cheers Hamish

Ah yes I remember these days well. Back when I lived in Ipswich for a while there you could go catch a feed of fresh flat head and big muddies at colleges crossing. And threadies any stretch of the river, 60+ cm snapper at Newstead. There were even reports of dolphins as far as jindalee or Goodna. Although all of this was a result of severe drought and really high salinity though so not ideal 

Some cracking fish there mate. Well done. Time to get out and grab some post flood fish i reckon 🙂
 

@ellicat definitely some great memories, was glad to find them and this page again. Sadly some of the spots aren't accessible from land anymore and i normally take my boat now but nothing makes me smile as much as landing a decent fish land based out of the mighty brown snake on a lure. (except for maybe pulling them out of the feeder creeks)

Hey guys, new to posting here but long time member.
 
I recently found some of my older land based catches around Brisbane most of them before the floods, back when jewies were 45cm limit lol, which has got me keen to start targeting the jewies again this season.
 
I will update with some more pics and journals soon but thought it was worth posting them before they get lost again.

Yeah, river has definitely changed a lot since the floods, but on a plus side lots of new snags 🙂. I recently found some of my old fishing journals so might start uploading some of the old info and pics  on here over the w/e as i'm a long time lurker have not been much of a poster.

Yeah, hoping people won't make too much of a mess down there. I've caught a few nice ones in that stretch from the boat on hardbodies targeting the mouths of feeder creeks, can sight cast to them in some cases when theyre feeding up on prawns in the shallows
used to get a lot of threadys of the oxley creek pontoon back in the early 2000's  before people started making a mess and council clamped down on it, one week i managed 3 trips 3 fish in 3 casts but this was pre 2011 floods when the drought had the river firing for saltwater models all the way up to the mt crosby weir and snapper and spangled emperor were not uncommon up to the newstead reaches of the river.
