Hi guys
Still pretty fresh into fishing so learning it as I go; the son and I are going pretty much every weekend around the Northside of Brisbane.
So today we headed off and started at the hole next to the Sandgate Pool with the tide coming in, heaps of bites but got nothing in. After a while headed to the Shorncliffe Pier, which was as busy as your local Coles when a snap lockdown is announced. Bites but nothing. The little fella was getting upset so we headed around to Baxter’s because he caught two little bream there on Tuesday night.
Baxter’s was full so we set up on the beach there, just as the tide was starting to go out. Once again, bites but nothing. We kept going until dark but nothing.
Was using mullet, pilchards, hardy heads, I tried my luck at some squid jigs, some prawn softs and even S Factor. But over 8 hours all we succeeded in was losing 3 lures and gaining one unhappy son.
So I feel pretty stupid asking this but what are some basics you think we’re missing? Running 2-4kg line, small sinkers, just lightweight stuff. In about one month of heading around there haven’t caught anything legal size. Of course we’ll keep heading out whenever we can but would love to bring something home to eat and keep the young fella happy.
Cheers
