My boat had a slightly bigger motor installed & I got a revised compliance plate from KPS. 

That’s true. To make it Mire confusing he supports QLD...

Very close.
It's not often you see "mate" and "Manly supporter" in the same sentence. haha
just jokes.

Hi all
Here are the two reports from my weekend, and while not much happened they were still somewhat eventful. I am hoping you will not find this boring, but here goes! 🙂 
Once the lines were in, baited with fresh, dead banana prawn, I set the gear up, got the net out, filled the bucket up with water, and threw the net. The first cast resulted in nothing, but in the next four casts I had two solid prawns in the bait tank. I chucked the salmon line out then, and began my long wait. While this was happening, I was talking to two people about a couple years older than me. One of them recognized me from the tennis competition I play in, so we had a chat (I think I've played him once or twice). He said he owns a house on the water, and he told me he'd caught a few bream, a few catties, and one thready. This was just in the duration he lived there I believe, as he said he didn't fish that much. I also told him what I'd caught there, but the thing I find funny is that the species list is becoming too long to remember. 😉  
They then left, so I gave the lines a quick bait check. They were all pickered, so I rebaited them all. I chucked them back out and set the drag. I then started to cast net a bit more, and to my surprise a whiting came up in the net. After a quick look at it, I noticed it was a Winter Whiting, so into the live bait tank he went. Here he is prior to being deployed - 
He stayed in the bait tank for another uneventful 20 minutes, and then I checked my line. The prawn was off it, so I pinned him through the mouth like you would with a mullet and chucked him out. He seemed to stay put, so I did a bit more netting. I didn't really get much, but the prawns on the other line were still on. I then just sat around the top to have a bit of a relax and waited. 
The fishing was very quiet, with no bites. Since it had been about another 20 minutes, I went down to the jetty to check on the whiting. I reeled it in, and to my surprise when I pulled him up, well, he/she was a mess. To give you an idea, look at the above and below images as a before and after 😉 

Done!
I am not sure what it might've been, but my initial thought was a little shark, as I have heard sharks will hit their baits from the tail first, not head first, like other fish do. From second thoughts, I realised it very well could've been a crab feasting on my live bait, or it even could've been baby breamv or something of the likes of that. I guess, unfortunately, I will never know, so I will just have to guess and hypothesize. 😉 
After that whiting, another live prawn was deployed. It would've been close to dark by now (around 5) so I starting tipping water on the jetty to get mud and gunk from the net off, and put the gear in the cart so it was ready to go. I made sure to keep the rods in though, just for good measure. In another few minutes of pacing around, the rods seemed like they could use a bait check. The two rods were pickerred, and I decided to keep the bottom one out so I had better chance. I re baited and re casted, and hoped something would take my bait in the last few minutes... 
Well, that never happened and it looked like I was going to finish up with another doughnut. I sadly did, and then I trudged all the way home, dragging my fishing cart along. This was not before I decided to take a quick sunset snap of the relatively gloomy day, so at least the report had some pictures - 

That is it done and dusted, or the first one anyways, so here are the statistics of the trip - 
Statistics of the trip - 
Tide: Low, 11:30AM, .5M, High, 5:15PM, 1.7M

Air Pressure: 1019.8 - a bit lower than my better days have been
Weather: Quite cloudy, light winds, gloomy
Tackle used: 14lb and 30lb mainlines, braid, 30lb, 15lb fluorocarbon leaders, 80lb trace, size 2 and 6 ball sinkers, 4/0 circle and suicide hooks, large barrel swivel.  
Bait used: Prawn, live and dead, and live winter whiting
Bait caught: Winter whiting and banana prawns
Fish caught: - 
Overall success rate: 40% - Not to bad of a day out
OK, that is the report done. I hope you enjoyed reading, and hopefully you aren't bored out and can't read the next. I hope QLD's COVID-19 cases stay at a minimum as well, and I hope everyone can get out for a fish soon. 🙂 
OK, so here is report two. It was a bit more exciting than the first, and I had three of my mates with me, two who had never really fished before. 
I met them at the train station at half past one, and we would've had our lines in the drink by about 2:00PM. The first cast I did I got zilch, but on the first cast I did on the jetty bait started rolling in. In about 5 casts, I had three solid mullet and about a dozen prawns, which I happily live baited on the lines. My mates were pretty happy with that, and then we could just sit and wait for a bit.
Since there was no action in about ten minutes, and one of them kept bugging me to show him how to throw the net, I showed him. Giving him the best instructions I could, he only managed a figure of eight on the first throw, LOL. The second was a slight improvement, but then he decided to put the net down and fish for a bit. I gave the lines a bait check then as well, the mullet was still very lively and the prawns were actually still on, much to my surprise. 
They were deployed again, and this time the wait was a bit longer. To keep myself from tiring out, I kept catching some prawns in the net. The best throw was three bigs ones, and, boy, they certainly make the net vibrate and pull A LOT for their size. By now, it was about 3:15PM, and with nothing happening, I was starting to think we might doughnut again. Luckily, the fish liked the live prawns and I saw the rod out in the middle of the river (or that area) getting pecks. I figured it was a perch, so I set the hook and told one of my mates they could pull it in. I suspected it was a perch, and I turned out to be right. A tiny one - 

I de hooked him, got my mate a quick pic (he's only caught a few fish in his life as he doesn't fish often) and then I chucked him back. He kicked off straight down, so another that was another successful release. Once he had dealt with that, everyone wasn't so bred again so I did some cast netting. Since the tide was absolutely rushing in, the net was a big effort. I also wasn't getting any bait, so I decided to give that a break for a few minutes. In that time though, one of the rods went off. To be specific, to cod rod did (no rhyming intended but it does 😉). I picked it up with haste but to my disappointment it had bricked us pretty good under/around the pylons. At the start, he was right stuck in there but with some rod maneuvering he started to come out. Then, whatever it was, took a run for structure... That had us done, and I could tell we weren't landing that fish, after about a ten minute wait, I started pulling the line out and eventually the braid snapped. That was a pity, because the fish (most likely a cod) felt pretty good. 
After the liens were re rigged, I had a throw of the net off the jetty. I felt some vibrating in the net, so I thought I might have some prawns. When I pulled the net up though, I realised I had a little perch in it. After a quick photo (sorry it's not to good) I chucked it back in the drink and off he went. Here it is - 

After that, they were really shut down, or maybe we were just missing them. I know that the lines weren't getting pickered, because when I did bait checks there was still bait. My friends had to go now though, as it was pretty much four thirty (they wanted to be home before it got dark). I said goodbye, but just before this, my other mate (who normally comes fishing with me) said the rod I had positioned in the channel just went off. There wasn't a fish when we reeled it up though, just a headless prawn. Whatever it was (most likely a small perch) had completely missed the hook. 
This was probably the last event to occur, as it was very quiet for the rest of the duration of my fishing. By about 5, it was getting a bit darker, so I knew it would be wise to load up the cart ready to go. Once this was loaded, I went down to check on the jetty rod. It seemed to be getting picked/pecked, so I picked it up and reeled it in. I assume the culprit was a bream, but both the mullet and the prawn which I had put on were gone. I guess some fish got an OK feed, but not me. I casted it out again, with the last big prawn and hoped. 
To sum it up, nothing more happened. I left in the dark, miserable that I hadn't gotten anything good. I am also quite tired today as I went out mountain biking this morning (that is the reason I wasn't out this morning). Here are the statistics of the trip - 🙂

Tide: 12:15PM, .4M, Low, 6:20PM, 1.8M, High. I fished the rising tide. 
Moon Phase: First quarter, so not that much run.
Air Pressure: 1019.9. Just realised I got today's air pressure for yesterday's fishing session, so you'll have to do without an accurate one for that one.

Fish caught: River Perch x 2
Bait caught: About two dozen prawns, Mullet x 3
Bait used: Live mullet and prawns, dead prawns
Time fished: 2:00PM-5:20PM or so
Tackle Used: 14lb and 30lb braid mainlines, 80lb mono trace, 30lb and 15lb fluorocarbon leader, large-ish barrel swivel, 4/o circle and suicide hooks, size 2 and size ball/bean sinkers, size 1000 Shimano Sienna, Size 2500 Shimano Nasci, Size 2500 Diawa Shinobi, Size 650 Penn reel, 6'6" Ugly Stik and Rogue Firepoint rod, 8' Ugly Stik Rod.
Overall Success rate: 60% - A nice afternoon. 
OK, that is the double report done. I hope you all enjoyed reading, despite the fact it wasn't the most exciting session at all. I hope you can all stay safe with the virus. 🙂 Sorry for any spelling errors either. 
Cheers Hamish

Hi Elli
20pd braid with 40pd mono leader
Bait was a not so fresh Halco slug ...😨
 
 

Good for you @AUS-BNE-FISHO. Hamish, you are showing some of us older blokes how it is done. You get an A+ for perseverance and dedication. Nice work. And you are keeping good records so it could be a science project for school. Not to mention how your English expression is getting a workout. We have seen a lot of young fellas come on and off this site over the years. I thought they were all super keen, but I think you have them whipped. 

Hi all
I'm a bit (very) exhausted at the time of writing this but I'm going to do it anyway. This arvo I decided to finish up school (which I did, I have a weekend free of work because I finished it, hooray!). I asked my mate if he wanted to come down for a fish and by three fifteen I was out of the house with the loaded up cart. I walked down with four rods and was fishing with all lines in at about three thirty. 
The first ten minutes was more setting everything up, but then I had a couple throws with the net. Except for a couple of tiny biddies and bloomin scat, I had nothing. I did a bait check on the smaller lines and they were all pickered. Then I remembered since it was rising tide, a line right in the channel made between the jetty and shore is good for perch and catties. In about 2 minutes of having this line in, it got pickered. The same thing happened a couple more times and then I realised we were running really low on prawns. 
Action was required and I got throwing off the jetty. The first cast resulted in some good prawns, so I gave my mate a yell to come down with the bucket. Down he came, and I tested the new Pryml aerator.  It worked excellently, and it kept the prawns live. I decided to reel in the heavy line after that to get a live prawns on pronto, but as I did I felt weight. It took about 2 seconds to realise I was on, and I gave my friend a yell to come with the net. The first fish of the day came up shortly, a decent catfish of 38cm - 

I tried to deal with him, but the circle hook had pinned him twice through the mouth. It just happened that when I was struggling de hooking him, my Dad came down with my brother and Mum. He eventually got the hook out, and I gave the catfish a good swim. He wasn't going straight down, but he was swimming the right way up along the surface. I think he just needed some water through his gills, because I think he swam back down up the river. 
After that, I deployed a live prawn and bait checked the other lines. They had been picked, so I re baited with a bit of mullet and another bit of prawn. It wasn't long before I was back cast netting, and I got one or two more prawns. Just then, the big rod went off again. I thought it was just a pick, so I told my friend so and he was aware. Then, just as I was pulling up the net, it buckles over and line goes out. I yank up the net (which had a couple prawns in it) and I tighten the drag and strike. I am on! The fish first took a good run down deeper and I just had in the back of my mind what it might be. After about two minutes of screaming runs and me pulling it in, I began to get it closer in. It tried to go under the jetty and pylons, but I made sure to keep it out. It was just about then when I saw the trace and what came after it. Another Threadfin Salmon! 
Simultaneously, my mate and I yell out in joy, and then we try to land the thing. It was hooked very well, so I knew we weren't losing it but I also knew it wasn't worth getting the hook back because it will just rust out soon, as opposed to giving the fish surgery. He ran back up to grab the scissors, and then we proceeded to properly christen the new landing net. It took about 4 goes because the fish kept jumping out, but eventually I got him in then it and brought him up on the jetty. The thready initially tried to hop back into the water, but I picked it up quickly, hastily measured it, and then got some ripper photos (or to be specific, the group of boys who went to primary school with me did 😉). 
Here is the thready, sorry the photos aren't entirely the best but they are still visible - 



After he/she was safely released, which was a bit of an affair as it required quite a few good swims, I just enjoyed the moment for about 5 minutes, and then everyone else there wouldn't shut up and just kept yelling, "Yeah Hamish, big fish!!!!" LOL. It was actually quite fun, and then eventually I checked the other lines, which had no bait. By this point, I simply just cut up a live prawn, chucked them out and waited. I then re tied my hook on the trace and cast the other out with a live prawn. 
By now it was about 5:00PM, so it was starting to get dark. My mate said he would be going when I left, and I told him we'd be about another half hour. The lantern in the cart came out now, just so we could see a bit better, and I kept throwing the cast net off the jetty. This resulted in a couple more big prawns, and time flew by. Before we knew it, I made the call to start packing up and it was good I did. By the time everything was away, it was getting dark. I made the trek home, and the funniest thing was when I saw my Dad in the driveway I said one word. "Salmon". He bluntly replies "Yeah right, show the pics mate!". I very promptly showed him and the look on his face was great! 🙂 
I then unloaded the contents of the esky of unpacked the prawns that were leftover, and some were of great size. Here is a quick happy snap of them. I also find with about 15 minutes on an ice brick, they go to sleep so I think for anyone keeping them that is the best way to get them killed. Here they are - 

Here are the stats of the trip - 
Stats of Trip - 
Tide - Low 12:20PM, .6M, High, 6:00PM, 1.6M 
Moon Phase - Waning Crescent, which is the phase that occurs roughly after three weeks of the full moon. This means there isn't much run.
Air Pressure - 1021.8

Fish caught - Catfish x 1, Threadfin Salmon x 1
Bait caught - Prawns, biddies, scat. 
Bait used - Live and dead prawns, mullet. 
Tackle used - 8", 6"6' Ugly Stik and Rogue Firepoint Rods (plus a graphite rod that I don't quite know the name of, which also starts in Session #4).

Overall success rate - 100% - Target specie caught
OK, so I hope you all enjoyed the report, I certainly had fun catching the contents of it 😉. I hope everyone can stay safe with COVID-19, because while the restrictions are eased it is still around. I also am super happy with the thready, my thready curve of once a year might become once every three weeks. 
Cheers Hamish 🙂 

Hi Cavvy
Even though you're my Dad and I could say this to you in person, welcome to the forum anyways. Hopefully you eventually end up spending as much time on here as I do, LOL. 
Cheers Hamish 🙂 

Hi all
As some of you may know, I was going out for a bay session in the yak today (well, I suppose it was hardly a bay session as I was pretty close to the ramp the whole time). It was a bit of everything, as we did some drifts, did some crabbing, I got wet and frozen and was my Dad's wind shield once the wind picked up. Overall though, we learnt how to use the sounder pretty well (but I'm not going to say how it is because we haven't actually got an idea to mount the thing on the end on the kayak, or we haven't gotten around to it yet). 
So, we decided to do any early morning session. Once I was woken, at about 5:30AM (so not to early) we got the kayak on the roof of the car, I got the bait I'd caught out of the freezer, and we set off. Since it is about a 40 minute drive, we arrived a bit before 7:00AM. We got there and no one was at the ramp except a guy throwing a cast net, so I had a go with my tiny 4 foot. The only problem was since it was so tiny, I could barely pull anything together. A herring, big glassy, and some prawns (which I didn't even catch, the guy gave them to me). By this time though, at about quarter past 7, it was time to set off. I baited the pots up with a mullet (caught in cast net) and some herring, and sat them on me to paddle out. Here I am at the start of the day - 

The first went to the first green marker, then the second went to the other side. We had one big blue one (even though it's a BCF cheapy, it works well) and a tiny orange one which I plan to replace (it's probably to small). After that, we decided to begin fishing. My dad had the rod I rigged with a two hook paternoster rig, which we had the top with a live herring and the bottom with a good fresh prawn (the ones caught in BR Session #18). Mine had a little live prawn on. With the help of the sounder, which we struggled to read at first but eventually got it going, we found some decently deep water. We paddled up and drifted back until it pushed us a bit too close to the bank. No touches, nothing. We proceeded to do this for a second time, but in a slightly deeper patch. This was a longer drift, and about half way through we saw some fish on the sounder. They didn't touch it though. Then, there was a huge eruption right in front of us! We couldn't believe our eyes. A massive fish of some description (we didn't get to lay eyes on it 😞) had just busted up in our faces. After the initial shock, and some colourful language, LOL, we got the lines back into the water. That fish had left us gaping, literally, so we went for a third drift. This time when we saw some fish on the sounder though, we were getting small nibbles. I felt them, and they weren't big by no means, but I reckon it might've been a decent bream. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to hook up, so after about 5 minutes of them having goes at our prawns, and us drifting towards shore, we were back.
Now, the wind had picked up considerably. There was a little bit of chop (probably not that much for most with boats but enough for me in the front of the yak to get soaked, as well as the reels). We were about 1KM away from the POB ramp, so we knew we should get back in to shelter. In a very rough, wet, windy, cold paddle, we made it to the sheltered (and probably shallowest part of the area). We tried doing another drift there, but it was a bit to rough and windy. The tide had also run out enough for us to see 4 big crab pots right on the beach, around from the boat ramp. We were a bit bewildered, as we knew this spot was probably overfished, and couldn't believe someone may put pots right there. Someone could've walked down and back with all four and got away in no time, not to mention whatever was in those pots would be high and dry in about an hour... 
We were back at the ramp after a bit more paddlin', and we offloaded the gear. The decision was made to call it due to the wind, because I was freezing.  We then went to get the pot on the other side, which was good because soon it would've been high and dry. We went over it and I thought I'd saw a crab, but then we I was pulling it to the sandbar (easier to balance than on a yak) I thought there was nothing. Then, my dad pipes up and says "Hamish! Big crab!". I was immediately excited because it would be great if we could get one keeper but on closer inspection it was a jenny. I was really sad, but we paddled back to the ramp to deal with it and released it after a quick video - 

IMG_6396.MOV Does the video actually work? Tell me if it doesn't because I'll just put a pic in. 
It scuttled off under the ramp and probably to some mangroves, hopefully it can make more muddies and I can catch them next time 😉. After the pots were done with I threw the mullet and herring back into the drink to Mr Percival and his mates, the seagulls. The rods were away and the kayak was put back onto the roof just as the wind picked up even more. When I was back at the ramp, quite a few boats were coming in. I don't think anyone did the best, but some people I overheard said they'd gotten an OK feed of something and were scooping livies out back into the drink. 
Back at home, after warming up and having a rest I began the task of giving the reels a nice wipe and clean. I took them apart, made sure all the parts were clean, wiped off everything, wiped it with a cloth in freshwater, then dried it. I then proceeded to lube up the reels, so they are ready for next time. The rods were given a good wipe as was terminal gear (i.e. pliers, lip grips, etc). As I was putting the crab pots away though, I noticed one of the ropes was frayed. I realised how bloody lucky we'd been not to have lost it, because it was frayed well - 

I cut that off and it's in the bin now, but I think that was pretty lucky.
Here are the statistics of the trip -

Tide: 5:40AM High, 2.3M, 12:30PM Low, .6M. 
Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous, so more than 50% but not quite full

Thanks for reading this report everyone, I hope you enjoyed. I hope they eventually ease off the restrictions of the virus so we can get out for more social gatherings, though I guess that won't be soon. Also, thanks to everyone who gave me a pointer about this area, it was really helpful. We would've been absolutely clueless otherwise! 🙂 I am going out tomorrow again with my friend for a fish, so if the results are really worth reporting on I'll put up BR Session #19. 🙂 
Cheers Hamish

That’s awesome! Great report and great to see the results! 

Prawn topped home made pizza just awesome Had a thin base with olive oil then cheese advacado red onion prawns and melt cheese again over the top 

Went prawning with Robbie and Steve yesterday we left redland bay ramp finding the boats and finding the prawns. Some of our 1st casts had great numbers of prawns in the top pocket of our nets.
We worked around the area with Robbie the skipper putting us on the good shows. Some casts had 20 to 30 prawns which brought big smiles and the odd YOU BEAUTY.
I think we did really well and had the other boats following us. I tried telling others nothing to see here no prawns here but they were onto us. 
I must thank Robbie and Steve for their patience as I had to cancel the morning session as work got in the way. The midday session ended by 2pm with our bag limit of 2 bucket of prawns.
My share of prawns I cooked 2 kg in sea water with a good squeeze of honey and will peel the rest for prawn meals like curried or chilly prawns with rice. No need to line up in shops to get a feed here mmmmmmmm tasty prawns.

This popped up on my FB newsfeed today https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/AuctionLots.aspx?smode=0&aid=16011&_ga=2.155173368.1526970417.1584400204-1294719126.1527242374
Lots of random items - tackle, lures, boat accessories etc. some good brands as well. I have bought cars at auction but never tried one of these general auctions. Could be a cheap way to get a tackle supply that will keep you going for years?

Hi all
Since I am going on another scout camp this weekend, I was just wondering what your favourite fish story is. Maybe of your best catch (that you consider) or funniest fishing trip, etc. 
Mine is where I was fishing at Colmslie Beach Reserve targeting jewfish and threadfin. We were walking up the beach to do some more cast netting (only had one or two mullet left in the tank) but we didn't get any more. Though, when we walked back I realised we were missing a rod, and had a quick look. To my shock, it was in the water going out. I ran to it as fast as I could (not very fast 😉) and picked it up. The drag was locked (my bad) and I proceeded to drag in a nice GT, my first Brisbane River specimen - 

Sorry its not the best photo, either.
The setup is still working well too, it has caught shovel nose rays and little bullies as well. 
Hope for some interesting stories,
Cheers Hamish 🙂 

Me and my brothers did a morning charter with Smithy out of Mooloolaba yesterday. We’ve done a few over the years but never managed to get all 4 brothers together at the same time. My old man wasn’t into fishing but he loved hanging out with his boys and liked talking with Smithy so he used to come along for the ride. He passed away a year a go so it was nice to hang out with my brothers and Smithy a catch some fish in his memory. 

We started the morning trolling livies for Spanish and had 2 hits straight away but the sharks were too quick for us and we got toweled up. We went for a run looking for some tuna and came across a patch of spotties that were playing the game. It was mayhem and multiple hits per cast on slugs and stick baits. We boated 6 in a frenzy then moved on to where smithy had done well on the longtails the day before. We found them but they were their usual flighty selves so Smithy made the call to run to a fad for some dollies. 

Well the dollies were thick and we had a good hour catching them on livies, stickbaits and slugs. Back to the tuna where we left them and they started playing the game but pulled hooks, bite offs, equipment failure and a bit of inexperience costed us the 3 or 4 longies we hooked. Found a patch of mac tuna that were less flighty and caught a couple even keeping one for bait (great tailor bait off the beach!). Got a couple of small schoolies vertical jigging under the tuna schools and hooked something rather large that gave a good few strong runs before wearing thru the leader. Back at the pontoon for lunch at the pub and a beer with smithy before the trip back to Brisbane. 

Here are a couple of pics from yesterday - we didn’t take many due to the chaos! Also a pic of my dad with a nice AJ from a previous charter with Smithy.

Very family friendly there are parks along the waterfront. You can fish off the bank into the water.
