Eel is good. So too is stingray, if you didn't know.

@christophagus has done up a thread on targeting them if you're interested -

 

Cheers Mate

I did have a read of that, very well written and informative post!

Nice work. It's always a bit of fun to get a little bully. 

How heavy did you fish to land him?

Cheers Hamish

Thanks Hamish,

Got him on 40lb mono, was on a Shimano beastmaster TLD25 combo and a pre-made wire trace and 6.0 circle hook (80lb I think)

Was an easy fight but I think I was pretty over geared for him

Freshwater eel

Went out the other day in the Logan river, chasing a shark 

Got a little Bull shark, was good fun

Thanks all, will definitely work on getting some fresh live baits!

Cheers all

Yep have a cast net

Kat- usually from the grand hotel or biggera creek

Old Scaley- yeah kinda like those, without the yellow

Used both pilchards and squid

So I went around to the north wall of the seaway. Didn't catch anything apart from some pests (angelfish I think?)

Definitely a lot more active though I was at least losing bait

The rain eventually got heavier and I went home

O was listening to Doug Bert the other day. He was saying there's Jacks to be caught at the North wall in close. Might be a chance today as just before a thunderstorm is supposed to be prime time for them....just not a good time to be in a boat.

Might shoot around there and have a try

Cheers mate

Not really,

Currently sitting out on the Broadwater just inside the seaway.

Couple of small bream earlier but nothing now.

Was catching more from the bridge near home that since I bought the boat!

So off work for a bit longer

Went out yesterday first trip offshore

Went to some generic marks for the 24 fathom reefs 

No luck, very busy out there!

Headed out into the Broadwater tomorrow to see what I can get

Cheers Hweebe

Unfortunately just after getting the boat i got covid

Free on sunday so hoping weather is good, then off to work for a bit.

Cheers Marty

yep, new to offshore and will go out the seaway. I Have a good mate who spends a fair bit of time out there, will get him to come out the first time, and definatly waiting for the best weather/tides.

All those spots sound good!

I bought new Flares when i got the boat, still need to get a new EPIRB. I have life jackets on the boat but also looking at one of the inflating ones to wear full time
