Sounds very honest advice. I haven't been on a sup before so I don't really know how easy or hard to steer one. I hope I can stay on a sup without problems.

Yes need water proof everything I guess. A cradle with rod holders is a must.

I got it , it appeared people on sup is working much harder than us fisherman!! I have seen YouTube videos people just put a milk crate at the front with bungee rope around to fasten your rod and other stuff. You can also get a chair in the middle for old fellows. But you probably prefer to stand and flick plastic on a sup, instead of sitting all day like you did in a yak. I don't know how comfortable to fish this way either. I think you could keep things minimum if we are just fishing inside the bay. What do you think? Btw, a good sup is just 400ish and seems hard to pass on even not for fishing.

Hello friends, My friend just bought a sup and started fishing from it at Bramble bay. I am interested in getting one too. I currently have a fishing kayak which is heavy to carry. Sup is more portable and allow me to fish more. What do you think?

Oh yeah, it seems to tick all the boxes!

Yes, alvey is the go to. The only issue is they're out of stock everywhere at the moment.

Thanks for confirming that!

Hi fellow fishoes, After researching a few salt water reels like Saragosa, slammer, i am ready to bite the bullet to save hours of reels cleaning every trip to the beach. Then i found PENN SPINFISHER SSM, https://www.bcf.com.au/fishing/fishing-reels/spinning-reels and lots of praises from its followers. However on its website no where is mentioned it is sealed or water sand proof. So i wandered if they are suitable on the beach? i actually had 2 of them sitting on shelves for years due to their weight.

I think everyone are collecting them till... I just realized i need to get a sand and water proof reel to go into beach fishing as i don't want to spend hours cleaning them each time. So i look for ine in bcf and here i find they are on promotion: buy reel get rod free. https://www.bcf.com.au/p/shimano-spheros-sw-spinning-reel-8000hga/618926.html However the price of 300ish, really put me off. I can get 5 of those combo reels. So i am going to buy 5 combo in 10 years to complete my collection. Or till i hit the jackpot

There are lots of catfish in the near shore as well recently!

Thanks for the tips and can't wait to try my luck!

I think it is 6-10kg.

Thanks everyone, seems I already got what is required!

Hi fellow fishoes, I have done a bit of land based esturay fishing in Brisbane and am looking to broaden my interest to include surf/beach fishing. I wonder if somebody could recommend a beginner setups to use on Nudgee beach/ beaches in Redcliffe/ bribie island surf side. I already have a 12 ft heavy surf rod and a 9 ft veritus comp rod, together with a few 4000s reel and Penn spinfisher 735 and 835 reels( which is quite heavy). I am not very interested in the alvey as I have tried them. I wonder if some could recommend a sub 100 reel and a quality mono Line. Of course if you think I should get a better surf rod, please put it down as well. For the fish target I am aiming at Taylor /snapper, not shark alike species. Also I mostly do bait fishing. Thank you my fellow and have a great week!

Thanks Hamish, it sounds it had effects on your river fishing as well. I had heard that fish in the river can always swim deeper to counter the low pressure effects. However in nudgee beach there isn't little depth fish can dive, so i guess the effects are stronger. But i would love to hear others real experiences.

Hi fellow fishos, I am unsure if it is worth going fishing at nudgee beach (shallow water depth) as the air pressure is so low. Do you think low pressure affect estuary fishing? My last few days there were very quiet. There were some bait fish but no bite from predators. What do you think?

Thanks everyone for your help. Will leave them there then. Yes, those jelly are eggs of moon snail actually. Fun fact 2 is the moon snail actually eat crabs and etc.

Best luck to you all

My fellow fisho, While I was working hard pumping yabbie I saw these lazy moon snails lying on the beach. I wonder if I am allowed to collect some and use them for fishing on the beach? It is a no take on fisheries website, but I am not sure if it's only forbidden to take home. https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-priorities/fisheries/sustainable/legislation/managenment-changes-for-bivalve-molluscs

Can I ask you how much time is needed to get 10 worms if there were no distractions? I am probably going worming tonight and don't want any dramas!

10 worms are not too bad, right? Will last a few sessions i hope. I have seen a few YouTube videos and they all make worming pretty simple and easy. One YouTuber Roger just use his armpit smell to get worm out and i am keen to try if i don't have anything with me. Yabbieing with kids are more fun !

I agreed with you that sharks are incredibly fun to catch and doesn't require complicated method or gears. They are also plenty in brisbane river and around. Just wondering where you can find 1 metre long plus sharks? Are there any water depth preference? In the locationa I fished I have only caught small (less than 70cm) sharks, so I am interested in where large shark frequent. Thanks Bob!

Thanks for the write-up. Just wondering how do you skin shark for food. I found it not much fun when i have to get meat off them.

Thank you mangajack, I would like to paddle through the passage if I can do it solo. But your proposal looks good and more accommodating for the kids. Thanks for the help !

Thanks Alex for your information. I can see from Willey weather the high/low tide time difference between bongaree and white patch and prove what you says is right. What about the other parts of passage up to golden beach? Shall I check all the tide time along the passage to determine the current? Thanks a lot!
