The prawns are still thick in the river, mrs bagged almost 4 kilos worth last night.

Add me on facebook brother

I've never seen a jew do this to leader, and after chatting with a few people I am leaning more towards a Threadfin.

The boys are on the money, river perch.

Whats your go to method for cooking them? Nice haul!

Hello fellow fishers! Just wanted to provide an brief update on a recent Brisbane river land based session we had. Me and the mrs decided to head up to a land based spot for some prawns, which were in decent number (couple per cast). Considering we were catching enough for a feed I decided to throw some larger models out as live bait. Had two rods out, one was a distance cast to get as close to the channel and a closer cast (this also avoids tangling on my own line) About half an hour before the change of tide my baitrunner started buzzing with sound, with a few LARGE tugs and rod tip stayed loaded. Hooked onto what felt like a potentially medium-large mulloway or threadfin on the rod that was casted out further. Managed to bring it pretty much to the pontoon and my line had snapped as I saw a touch of colour (however still unsure on what species). I noticed that my 40 pound leader was frayed in a very odd manner. It is hard to explain but the bottom 5-10 cms of my leader felt like it was sanded down and there was discoloration. Anyways fixed up my line and cast out another live prawn. On the tide change that beautiful sound of the drag started again however this time was a solid run. Strike and the fight commenced, after a short period was able to bring a medium-large mulloway (either just legal or just under so not huge). This is where things went horrible wrong, the hook was just pinned by the lip, concerned that the lift up to the pontoon would of ripped the lip. Unfortunately didn't have a net on hand, one of the fellow fishers on the pontoon tried to assist in bringing up the jewfish on the pontoon. This is when the mulloway decided to head dive down and go for another run before I could loosen my drag and the line snapped. While the chaos was occurring my other rod also went for a small run, stopped however the rod tip was loaded. Brought the other rod in to catch one of the biggest eels i personally had ever caught, would of been well and truly over a meter. Released off to annoy another fisherman. You win some you lose some, only makes me hungrier for another Brisbane river mulloway. Still went home with almost 2 kilos of prawns, so happy days! Date: 12 June 2023 Tide times: Just after top of tide Moon phase: Third quarter Bait: Live prawn Species caught: Mulloway Size: 70-75cms (was unable to measure as line snapper while trying to bring it onto the pontoon) Barometric pressure: 1020.24 Rods: Penn Prevail II 10 ft and 9'6 ft Reels: Shimano Baitrunner 6000 and Penn Live Liner 6500 Line: 30 pound braid Leader: 40 pound Hooks: 4/0 live bait hooks Sinker: 60-70 gram star sinker on slider.

I've used plenty of different squid jigs from different brands, yamashita and yozuri have always worked the best for me.

If you don't mind me on the boat, I can research some spots and see if we can get some solid spots

Im happy to show you some techniques and what not for squidding one day. Might need to be land based, we can hit up Shorncliffe, woody point etc

More than likely a shark or a tailor, potentially even a crab. The piers hold a lot of kings in the mornings land based. However if you do get a boat, there is a spot up river from the spit bridge, maybe like 5-10 min ride. You will see a wrecked yacht on the sounder, that wreck holds a lot of fish. From kings to jews to snapper.

Solid effort mate! we should tee up a session together.

Honestly it seems most jetty's hold bait but not consistently, me and my partner where at Colmslie and we would be lucky to get a live bait every 4th or 5th cast on the net. Nek minute, one of the casts ended up with at least 50 Herring. Sometimes when the bait is scarce the sabiki jig with a tiny bit of bait works better.

I ended up with close to 30 jigs, but I am pretty sure they sold out super quick.

Yeah this should definitely work as long as there is a time stamp, all business legally need to honour the prices they display.

Hey guys, Just a quick one, BCF are having a sale on atm, Yamashita squid jigs are going for $5 down from $20.
