Newbie to Brisbane

Hey guys. Decided to walk down the road from home yesterday during a spell in the weather. Not really knowing the area I had a quick scout around over a shallow sandbank looking for any signs of bait. Instantly I found a massive school of hardiheads, which were clearly being harassed by something below as they were skittering everywhere . I tied on a frost white 60mm double clutch on my millerod grubfreak and daiwa exist 2004, and  for the next hour or so it was nearly a fish a cast. Mainly just flathead around the 50-60cm mark, and a few bream. Towards the end of the session I tied on a MMD splash prawn and caught a few average bream on it too. Was a nice way to spend an hour, and a great way to open my account in my new home Brisbane .

Cheers Steve. I hope it will be fun.
Hi @Newbie to Brisbane
Thank you so much for your generosity! I will talk to Dad tonight about this.
Cheers Hamish

Yeah I might look into purchasing one to fit 30lb braid the 5000 size but not until atleast a year i got enough reels for now and I already got a 5000 sedona  and gonna spool it up with 300m of 20lb . They look like great reels and there price should be around $140-$150 the RRP is always higher  on the shimano site usually then new shimano reels come out they are fairly expensive for example I spent awhile looking at my Stradic FL until I saved enough money and I luckily managed to get one for $250 at BCF with their price beat policy I found another one online that was cheaper then BCF but when they first came out and for the first year they were 2019-late 2020 they were $269 at cheapest for the 1000/2500 now the absolute cheapest is like $230-250. 

I’ve had a play with the new nasci and definitely a great little reel for the price point ($169)

I have had some great success with these soft plastics, rigged weightless for bream they are absolutely dynamite mate. 

Looks like you had a bloody mint session mate. That’s one fish I’d really like to tick off the bass 

Brilliant rods hey! I’ve got quite a few of the steez rods and love them all

They sure are Hamish 

I got three in one session landbased first time I’d ever been there. There’s definitely still a decent amount of Barra and threadies in the river. I recommend sounding around structure on last half of run out tide, super early mornings before sunrise worked well for me. Different parts of the heat they move to certain areas in a system. This time of year the Barra fishing can be quiet, but a brilliant time for big threadfin when I fished it two years ago

Mate Rockhampton is probably the most underrated Barra fishing place in Queensland. So many good fish in the city reaches. Happy to pass on more info if required
