Cracking fish. 
 
If you leave from a Tweed ramp, fish QLD waters, and return to the tweed ramp, do you need a fishing licence? 
I know they're cheap enough and all, just curious as to the situation.

I just want to thank you for removing these horrible things from the water ways. 
 
Chop the head off, and cut the backbone out. 
Float em down. 
They do work.

Give the Saltiga 12 a go. 
I love the stuff. 
Super thin, super strong, great casting line. 
PE6 is equivalent to 100lb. 
Can fit 300m on a saltiga 14000. 
Another one I recommend is Gosen. Awesome stuff as well. 
Seems to last if not used much, which has been the case for me lately.

I have orange 50lb braid on one of my overheads. I can't remember what brand but I use it to bottom bash and troll. I didn't buy it for the colour, though I would not hesitate to buy orange line again. 
 
Most of my reels have multi coloured on them.
This is not a "preference" thing. It's because the thinner stuff tends to only be multi coloured.
 
Diameter is what I tend to preference. I mostly use spin gear so I am looking for capacity and strength. 
 
 
 
 

You could easily paddle to coochie on the yak. 
Urban legends have people walking over there at low tide. 
Red beacon area on the NE side of coochie is worth a look.  
 
 
Bass in eprapah Creek, next to movie theatre. There's also a few ticks in there as well. Check yourself over after a visit. 
You could launch a kayak down the end of beverage road. 
There are jacks in there. Also big cod and a big groper.  Caught a few of its grand kids, but no chance turning it. Very pretty fish when juvenile though. 
Massive green zone at the mouth of eprapah Creek so be careful there. 

 
I've pinched this map from beacon to beacon. If you don't have a copy then... Here's a copy
 
 

That size lure is going to attract large fish. 
As long as you're using a decent reel with some good casting PE, you will get away with it using the technique bob mentions  above. 
Rods are just the delivery system for the lure. Let the fish fight the drag in this case. 
 
Good luck. 
 
 

Just keep at it mate. You're not doing anything wrong so to speak, you just need to experiment. 
Your catching fish. That's a start. 
Start with presenting your baits in different arrangements. 
Remember, what works well today, may just get ignored tomorrow.
 
The tackle you're using plays a big part too. 
Fish as light as possible.
Start with about 8lb main line, braid or mono. 
10lb fluorocarbon leader maximum. 
 
I'd suggest a running sinker rig to start with. It's a very common rig to run. 
 

 
 
Find a sinker size that sinks to the bottom as slow as possible in the conditions you're fishing, if that makes sense. 
Don't drop an 8 ball in dead still water. 
If the water is dead still, try no sinker at all. 
 
Use fluorocarbon leader.
Instead of 1m to 2m of leader in that pic above, keep the leader length down under 1m. Around 500mm to 700mm should work well. 
 
Hook selection. 
Small hooks equates to small fish. 
A 2/O or 3/O size Mustad big red or similar for general fishing. 
Use long shank hooks for whiting. Again, larger hooks will not fit down the gob of smaller fish. Whiting inhale the bait, so you end up with a hook in the gut of undersized fish if you're using smaller hooks. 
 
If I'm predominantly catching small/undersized fish I tend to move on, or target a different area of the waterway.

Brilliant. 
All you need now is a slingshot.

I have a 6m plate boat that is heavy. 
I use 10m of 8mm gal chain. 
Always use reef anchors and never had to cut one off. 
It will even hold in that silty mud in the Brisbane River. 
Occasionally it will not hold, but only in really strong, full moon type currents. 
Reset and it is normally all okay.

My opinion....
 
No dramas at all swapping handle over, that I know of. 
The handle always winds on the way you wind to retrieve line. 
Makes sense, no? 
So if the handle is on the right hand side, it's righty tighty, lefty loosy. 
If the handle is on the left side of the reel, it will be lefty tightly, righty loosy. 
That could be the only drama I could think of, that and the handle may become really tight to undo, but drop a touch of anti seize on the thread and it will be fine, well that's what I do, but I use Daiwa. 🤣
 
Hope that is sort of clear.

I'm happy landing anything. And getting on the leader board. Until Neil goes fishing again ...... 😂😂

Nine years old. 

Hahaha. 
My kids were out there at Easter and asking why noone was jetty jumping. 
They thought it was because there were no stairs to get back up onto the jetty. 
I explained that there is no stairs because the authorities do not want people swimming there due to the shark population. 
 
 
 
My PB sighting of a tiger was on the other side of Fraser, out on the Gardiner banks. 
He's a local out there I'm told, and he would be up around, possibly over the 5m mark.
I'll never forget the size of that huge blacked out eye as he glided effortlessly under the boat about 10m down. 
It was a 5.5m boat and this thing was just as long. 
 
They're like mobile reef systems with the amount of fish that hang off them. 

You can also swap the treble out for an assist hook. 
 
If they're not skittish you can drop your slug out the back in free spool while on the move.
Do a big arc around them, pull up, then just rip the slug back through the middle of them. Only seem to work if they're not skittish though, which is hardly ever.
