    Nice paddle from adder to the gorge and back yesterday. Little window of calm! No proper fish though hence scenery pic. The weather has been all over the place this year!

    @Do$tylz 100%, all of that

    Shimano Sienna! 2500 size for your rod. Great value, my first reel to learn on too. If I had my time again I'd choose the same thing

    Nice one!! Looks good (apart from the accidental leader half hitch ). Looks like you could get it a bit tighter though. Yes you gotta keep everything tight throughout the process but before you cut the leader tag end give it all a proper pull... use gloves or whatever so you don't cut yourself. Otherwise when you load up on a fish (or snag lol) you'll pull through some of your half hitches and reducing the life of your knot.

    Casting through the guides?

    When the first of the westerlies start in May and through til July you'll find tuna pushing bait into the wind and therefore right up along the entire Bribie coastline. Definitely doable. What you use definitely determines what you may catch! It helps to have a plan in mind for a target species and hone in on that. To be honest I haven't fished at night in a very long time. I guess I don't feel like I'm missing out on too much, at least not worth the extra hassles of fishing in the dark. But thats just me. Lures do work at night though!

    And yes that's right! At night time everything seems more active doesn't it with a full moon. Bait fish throw a stronger silhouette from the moonlight for those visual predators to feed more easily. Which means when there's no moonlight those dawn and dusk times seem to be a bit more frenzied! Even throughout the day. I have found the middle of the day to be the best time for catching tuna for example, when the sun is at its highest point. Pushing bait fish against the surface and straight in line with the sun light seems to create the longest of feeding frenzies. And easier to catch. Catching these visual predators can be a struggle in low light as they find it more difficult to ball up bait fish I reckon. Anyways I've gone off on a tangent there My point: new moon during the day fishing seems better

    Wouldn't have a clue sorry! I've pretty much always fished with lures, the occasional livie of late.

    Spike and bleed! A sharpened tent peg or screwdriver is fine, or small knife. I carved this nice handle, a gift for a fishing mate. Not sure why he didn't want it?

    I find new moon is better than full moon for the visual-feeding pelagics during the day as they seem to be more frenzied up during sunlight hours. Especially dawn and dusk. Combine that with a moon rise and you could be in for a good session. Not sure about the science behind moon rises, but it's definitely a fish feeding time. Metal lures are cheap yes but they don't need to be fancy. You could literally put hooks on some cutlery and you will catch fish. They attract the more aggressive species like trevally, mackerel, tailor, tuna etc and can be a lot of fun to use when these fish are around. All it does is flash around on fast retrieve and prompt a reaction bite from these fish. If the fish are a little more shy then that's when plastics and other lures designed to be worked more slowly come into the picture

    Worth buying a metal lure for something different too! Long casts and interactive method

    Have caught jew, tuna and mackerel behind the breakers at woorim in a boat. So if everything lines up you'd be in for a chance landbased too

    I haven't read enough into it to be honest, there's so much happening on the island I wouldn't be surprised
  14. samsteele115
    Nice mate! I usually work on the weekends but will let you know when I know my roster. There's been stuff all around this week!
  15. samsteele115
    Yeah that's all I've caught on livies out there, with wire
  16. samsteele115
    So an unweighted livie out the back whilst fishing lures I'm a chance at a snapper? That's great to know
  17. samsteele115
    Great tips! Motivation to try something I'm not good at. Do you weight your livies so they reach the bottom?
  18. samsteele115

    Wow!

    They sure are, and for a limited time only you can get yours for $199.95 outta the bay and no more to pay!
  19. samsteele115
    That would be "chick", unfortunately @GregOug is a correct northsider, "chic" pronounced "sheek"
  20. samsteele115
    That's a perfect size. I've had one at 70cm and it was watery and not as nice
  21. samsteele115
    I think that will be quite doable mate!
  22. samsteele115

    Wow!

    samsteele115 replied to GregOug's topic in Boating

    Yeah, straight to the coroner's office
  23. samsteele115
    This was actually out at hutchies north of Moreton. Long boat trip for 1 fish I agree... and to those who don't believe us check out these tasty little morsels!
  24. samsteele115
    Delicious firm white sashimi a 20kg+ hit my popper first but the little guy got the second go at it unfortunately for him
  25. samsteele115

    Wow!

    Yes, even when we paddled back in
