Great thready @Thorbjorn Hale, if you want to start trying to release them you could try using a venting needle to pop their swim bladders.

Cheers Hamish 

Yeah I was looking into getting one of those because the part of the river I fish is particularly deep I think because even bream and stuff get barotrauma

Nice snapper, I guess it is caught in the lower reaches of Brisbane river?

Yeah, I caught it in Bulimba.

Mine would probably a 95cm thready or a massive 185cm pike eel

Good one Thorbjorn, any size to the prawns?

Went to the Bulimba Jetty after seeing the awesome jewfish landed by @Thorbjorn Hale, I fished off about 100m to the side of the pier along the walking path(it seemed kinda busy when I arrived). Brought a pack of frozen prawns in case I couldn't cast net anything, to my surprise there were prawns around so the prawns went used and forgotten for the next few days in my bag (if prawns go black are they still usable as bait? pls lmk). 

Fished running sinker setups on a 7ft and 9ft setup with ball sinkers and a circle hooks. Used live prawns and caught my first ever silver grunter/javelin. Also cast net a big mullet that I returned after a tussle to get it to stay still on my brag mat.

Moved to the pier at about 8pm and fished till about 11pm when the wind picked up, sinkers couldnt really hold bottom, so that was that.

Thinking about going tonight for a bit or maybe Thursday night (are high tides good for threadies?). Learning how to tie dropper loops so I can run some paternosters w live prawns hopefully which can hold bottom. Wouldn't mind having someone to chat to and see if I can learn/catch a thing or two. 

Nice work Wilson

i think the threadies should get a bit more active as the water warms up in the next few months. I find the 2 hours before high tide tend to be most productive.

No I’ve only been catching catfish and bream but I hope if it warms up a bit the fish come back on

Hi all

I usually fish with live baits but recently have been trying lures for fish like bream and flathead for a bit of fun while the threadies and Jew aren’t biting. I haven’t actually caught anything on lures such as soft plastics and deep diving minnows but would appreciate any help with actually catching anything.

thanks Thorbjörn

Hang a picture of a dog on your hook.

Hi I was wondering if your are allowed to take things like rods and fishing carts onto the city cats because I can’t drive and there are lots of spots I want to try out that are near city cat terminals

thanks Thorbjörn 

Thanks for all the help with the salmon fishing. But I’m going fishing regulary (every 1 or 2 days) and only catching catfish, about 3 a session.
 

Do you have any tips for keeping the catfish away.
Thanks Thorbjörn

I thought it might have a been a small thready because it didn’t have much weight to it and was peeling heavy drag off like it was nothing 

The bream fought like a freight train
