Hey MaCauely, Try the albert river above the weir or at Chardon bridge mate, great Carp in there, easier accessed by a Kayak but you can get to the banks, just be care full of snakes 😄 I usually take the kayak down there and grab a few carp every trip, changed the Yak recently so haven't been for a while but all ways keen to hunt some carp

Hi I have lived on a sailing catamaran for 17 years and owned one of the first hobie adventure islands in Queensland. I would not hesitate to do that journey on an AI however I would check the weather on something like windy or meteye and consider the tides and plan accordingly.  There are AIs making much larger trips than that, but again it all comes down to the 7 pees. Prior preparation and planning prevents piss poor performance. Starting slowly and carefully with shorter trips, doing some heavy weather work on a lee shore so that if you sink or capsize etc you get to experience these things at a low risk as you will be blown ashore. You can prepare your craft and yourself to survive these conditios comfortably and expand your horizons appropriately.  No one just gets out of their lounge chair and scales the north face on everest, it takes preparation. Increase your knowledge base and your fitness, get the right gear, epirb life jacket etc organise to travel in company with other vessels etc. In other words be prepared for the worst and hope for the best not vice versa. The hobies are a fantasic boat and in perfect conditions that is a 3 hour run but more likely 5 hours. There and back in a day is a much greater challenge due to tides and afternoon sea breezes. I would camp on moreton and return the next day. A much better option would be to start somewhere like caloundra for instance as there is great fishing just a few miles out. I bagged a 42kg longtail there the best tuna Ive ever caught.

Thanks mate I’ll have a look at that over the weekend. Do bass like any bait or is my best chance of hooking them with lures ?? 

@Nickflud i should have tiem to get out over easter too mate, im based in beenleigh adn usually fish the albert. Have you heard of any other spots?

@Drop Bear

@Nickflud May be another week or two before i can organize a trip out at the weekend mate. you fished for carp before ?
 

Hey all 
 
I ended up heading back home to ireland at short notice but back on the river now, went out again at the weekend tried a new swim wiht some success, but far too many turtles. Might give it another shot on friday morning
 

Hey guys finally got my ass into gear and got back out on the Albert. Got myself a Kayak to try some ares a little further up river, no luck in the lower reaches but have finally found a few carp above the weir. Good sizes too. All dead and buried  so i will be heading back to get hooked into a few more. Great fun and great fight out of them too as i expected. Any one keen to join me for a few carp??
 
 

Im planning an early start out there in a few weeks just have to go check out a spot to land the Kayak mate, or may just hit the banks at ceder creek

Thank's mate, will remember that for the weekend, im defenitly not a fan of the cat fish.
 

Hey @ellicat im fishing the bottom, looking for big Carp mate, Heading back out at the weekend or tomorrow to try the weirs or further up stream. river runs a little too hard close to where i live so need deeper water i think

So the Albert is full of Cat fish?? no Carp tonight just barbing little bastards of Cat fish  laid down some bait for tomorrow hopefully a little ground work and i can get some feeding tomorrow night.

Ill keep you posted on the Carp situation, im heading out tonight on the Albert to see how they go. Just Corm and Bread should do the trick if all the research is right.
 
At least your catching something.

Hey Rus_Tay
 
Any Luck with the carp mate, Im in the same boat, havent fished in years but keen to get some big Carp on the end of a rod, hoping to try the Albert tonight on sme sweetcorn from the bank
