  1. I would stick to Ebay as I have never had an issue with them.
  2. Hi all, I haven't fished much over the last couple of months as I have been busy with school. Luckily, I'm on holidays next week and I did manage to get out for a couple of casts this weekend. The first session was a few weeks ago and I don't actually remember when exactly. I went down to my local park after school and attempted to catch a few livebaits. There were already people fishing there surprisingly, but I figured I had to catch a bit of bait before I bothered putting a line out. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage anything in my net after 45 minutes of casting, which although no surprise (the river was very dirty from all the rain) was still a bit disheartening. I flicked a soft plastic around for the remainder of the session to no avail so headed home before it was even dark. The next session was at the local park again. I got down a bit after 4 on Friday arvo, and had a few throws with my net. A lot of small prawns were around, so after catching a few I sent some out on the hook. I spent the next couple of hours catching some more prawns, a bullrout, and a couple of catties, but nothing particularly noteworthy. It was still good to go out and have a couple of bites though. Stats of Trip: Tide: Low tide change Moon Phase: 93% Bait Caught/Used: Prawns Fish Caught: Catties Air Pressure: 1013 Humidity: 63% Overall Success Rate: 20% Then this morning, my Dad and I went for a paddle at a spot where we thought we might have a chance of catching a thready on a lure. We launched at about 5 and arrived at the spot while it was still dark. A couple big fish were smashing bait off the surface, which was a good sign, but I couldn't tempt anything with my Zerek Pyra lure. We continued onwards, and as we went into the spot we spooked another fast fish that seemed a bit too big to be a mullet. A few more casts later for nothing and the sun was up, which also meant the tide had started to trickle in. My Dad and I each casted around for another 2 hours or so, hearing a few boofs. We even caught some live bait and drifted around with that, but we didn't manage anything at all, which was a bit disappointing because I saw a photo of a guy who caught one here the Arvo before. Oh well, next time. Stats of Trip: Tide: Low tide change Moon Phase: 99.5% Lures: Megabass R Oneten, Zerek Pyra, Live bony bream Fish Caught: - Air Pressure: 1013 Humidity: 88% Overall Success Rate: 40% Cheers, Hamish.
  3. There’s a lot of jetties, pylons, deep rock formations and eddies, deep holes that are 20+m, creeks, and lots of mud banks as well.
  4. I’ve never caught much on soft plastics except a small zman grub in motor oil with a jig spinner, my favourite two lures for bass are a RMG Scorpion 35 in Golden Green or a Duo Cicada surface lure. I’m sure plenty of different lures would work though. Good luck.
  5. I use a 2-4KG rod for bass fishing, so seeing as yours is 4-8lb which is basically the same thing I would say it is suitable. I use 8 pound braid and ten pound leader and haven't been busted off yet.
  6. Hi Peter, being a shorter rod I would say it would be better suited to accurately casting lures/baits short distances, maybe in a creek or kayak fishing.
  7. You could always try upstream in the river, maybe not where the city cats are running, but I’m sure you’d find plenty of interesting things around Indooroopilly or jindalee with the live scope.
  8. I definitely prefer thinner braid, though due to price I have switched from using Diawa jbraid x8 or Penn braid to Hercules Braid from EBay, which although a bit thicker is only 20 bucks for 300 meters of 8 strand.
  9. Great boat and some great fish @tugger!
  10. Good luck stu, hope you get a few big ludes. This article might help - Yamba - Blackfish Heaven? (macman.id.au)
  11. Great work Rebel, the kingies wouldve been fun.
  12. I haven't had any luck yet, hopefully soon.
  13. Good work Ray, shame it was quiet.
