Great work on the Jack Ross and nice bream Steve. It’s great that photos are back.

This is my favorite website. Wish I could contribute some more threadfins though

Great stuff Neil, that looks like a good whiting session.

That’s a shame Ray, hope you get a few more next time. 

Sounds like some good buys Rebel.
 

I have an Okuma Coronado CDX which I’ve found to be a excellent reel.

Good stuff Neil.

Nice work Bob, that’s a great cod.

I would suggest trying to beach it or grabbing it quickly in the mouth, netting solo can be quite tricky. 

Nice work, that still sounds like a pretty good session @mangajack, you can't be too unhappy with a 55 squire .

Was the water still quite dirty out there? 

Sounds like a great day Neil. 

Sounds like another great session Rebel, that kingy would've been great.

Schools of mullet are much easier to spot in cleaner water around bridge / pylon lights. (Dark blob/shadow)

A favourite spot for me is all along Newstead Park > Newstead Terrace Park. If you walk all along this built up foreshore you're bound to spot / hear mullet jumping around. Just have your cast net handy. Big Banana prawns at times as well.

Is there anywhere exactly along here that you've found to be best? I fish here regularly and only get a few odd mullet, sometimes lots of herring or prawns. Also it seems to be quite snaggy in most spots.

I know the answer to the question is: "Go and throw in a line and you'll find out."

But... I thought I would ask anyway.

I fished around Kangaroo Point and Breakfast Creek for snapper and jew before the rain with some success. Need live mullet for jew.

So, do mullet hang around the city area when the water is dirty like it is now? Any ideas where I can find some?

Thanks.

You'll probably struggle to get bait until the river cleans up a bit more, I haven't been able to catch much bait around those areas recently although normally Winter is best for snaps and jews at KP and Hamilton (and there is more bait around then with the clean water).

Impressive jewies @mangajack!

Nice work Neil, thats a good session despite the sharks.

It was only a one month comp. Pics of anything would be good to share though. Especially after a donut day in the bay.

 

Would everyone like to make it the best of three one month long comps during the year, say Jan, Apr, Aug ??

Yes

Not good news ABF,  you need to give the Brisbane River a good break, maybe 4 + weeks, if we don't get anymore rain, after good rain all but the vermin make their way down to the mouth of the rivers and creeks to get a bit of salinity in the water. You need  locations that are getting a good tidal flush of salt water twice a day, maybe get your Dad to take you to Bribie if he has the time and fish maybe Woody Bay or Red Beach, both areas  get a good flush every day regardless of the rain, if you and Dad like camping on the beach, make a trip of it and take a small tent, couple of sleeping bags and get some jaffles cooking over the coals, after reading this Mangajack might even cook em for ya, good areas for flathead, dart and whiting, be a bit of an adventure hey! 

Good fishing to you

fatboy

Thanks a lot for the advice fatboy, appreciate it. That would be a lot of fun, and I'll try and do some sessions closer to the river mouth soon.

Yeah fishing after the rain has been kinda slow, I was pleased with that snap on a vibe but bait fishing has sucked haha.

It was a nice snapper.

Good report @Huxstang. Hope you clean up next time. 

You could try going up to the Sunnycoast as there are a few rock fishing spots up there. 

Unlucky Ray, hope you get them next time.

Disappointing conditions. I'm heading to the Rous on Wednesday to get away from the 'brown'.

 

That will be fun. Gooduck. 

Sounds like a productive morning Rebel.

Nice report. Shame the fishing was a bit quiet.
