  1. Yeah fishing after the rain has been kinda slow, I was pleased with that snap on a vibe but bait fishing has sucked haha.
  2. I use a swivel tied to my leader then attach the lure using a split ring attached to the lure. Really secure and it gets rid of line twist and imparts a better action for metals.
  3. We’ve had a few good sessions recently Hamish but we’re a bit short of the 6 threadies in six weeks plan haha
  4. As an English and Australian crossbreed, I moved from the uk a few years ago. I recommend what everyone else said and just wait, from what I remember the fishing tackle and brands is very different from the kind of gear you get in Australia. Most of the stuff in the uk is for uk fishing and vice versa. To get a taste for the bread and butter species a 3 inch soft plastic and roughly 1/8 jigheads will work well.
  5. If you have some free time I highly recommend going for a swim at Mossman gorge. I went there a few years ago and it was amazing. Good luck on the fishing
  6. Depends on where you are fishing, at the port will be different to in a narrow creek. Big soft plastics and vibes work well for the port but you might wanna use a shallow diver or a weedless plastic if you are deep in the mangroves, all depends on where I guess.
  7. Never fished down there but I have seen plenty of people using salmon live and dead and snook for big bronzies. For bull sharks up in brisbane i like early mornings and evenings for finicky feeding sharks but most of my sharks come during the middle of the day when the sun is shining. High pressure seems to give better results than low pressure.
  8. I use mostly 12ft rods but I would recommend anywhere between 8 - 12ft. I have Penn prevail 2 15-37kg and it has caught so many good fish for me. I originally bought it for sharks but it works great for everything else(except bream fishing). Check out the new prevail apex rods. As for reels, I use 4000 to around 6500 but have an 8500 for summer shark fishing. I use Penn slammers or spinfisher 6 live liners and they are great reels. You can pick up a spinfisher 6 for cheap because they just released the spinfisher 7. I would recommend 30-50 braid because it’s not overkill and allows to catch anything in the river. Check out the new slammer braid because 400m of 40lb braid perfectly matches a 6500 Penn reel and it’s really nice line and reasonable cheap.
  9. Yeah I try to tag as many fish as I can really, might aswell
  10. definitely, I find most times I get a good fish its after everyone else has left.
  11. Yeah, I see people bringing home a bunch of fish but 1 thready will fill my freezer so that really all i need
  12. People regularly get decent fish there, just live bait and persistence help you find the quality ones
