Can anyone help with the actual rules regarding land based cast netting in the Newport canal system. I've heard that Newport marina may have leased the sea floor, and I understand not to hop onto anyones private pontoon or to go walking through other peoples backyard. However if there is a park at the end of one the the canals, where there is no private yard or pontoon and its not inside the marina. Is it ok to cast net there? Or is there a law against this.?

Happy Easter everyone. 
I've asked for the Easter Bunny to bring me some prawns this year.!

Well done.  Well I didnt go, fortune favours the brave and I was a coward.  Fortunate as now heading up to Caboolture Hospital to check on me mum who has had a turn of some sort.  No rush - shouldnt be out of the ramped ambulance for 3 or 4 hours.
Keep telling my folks - if you live on Bribie your only hospital is Caboolture so stop complaining about it.

Beautiful fish!

Cracker Grassie! Well done!

What a monster !!!   Alone, worth facing the conditions,

Hi all, 
I haven't fished much over the last couple of months as I have been busy with school. Luckily, I'm on holidays next week and I did manage to get out for a couple of casts this weekend. 
The first session was a few weeks ago and I don't actually remember when exactly. I went down to my local park after school and attempted to catch a few livebaits. There were already people fishing there surprisingly, but I figured I had to catch a bit of bait before I bothered putting a line out. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage anything in my net after 45 minutes of casting, which although no surprise (the river was very dirty from all the rain) was still a bit disheartening. I flicked a soft plastic around for the remainder of the session to no avail so headed home before it was even dark. 
The next session was at the local park again. I got down a bit after 4 on Friday arvo, and had a few throws with my net. A lot of small prawns were around, so after catching a few I sent some out on the hook. I spent the next couple of hours catching some more prawns, a bullrout, and a couple of catties, but nothing particularly noteworthy. It was still good to go out and have a couple of bites though.

Then this morning, my Dad and I went for a paddle at a spot where we thought we might have a chance of catching a thready on a lure. We launched at about 5 and arrived at the spot while it was still dark. A couple big fish were smashing bait off the surface, which was a good sign, but I couldn't tempt anything with my Zerek Pyra lure. We continued onwards, and as we went into the spot we spooked another fast fish that seemed a bit too big to be a mullet. A few more casts later for nothing and the sun was up, which also meant the tide had started to trickle in. 
My Dad and I each casted around for another 2 hours or so, hearing a few boofs. We even caught some live bait and drifted around with that, but we didn't manage anything at all, which was a bit disappointing because I saw a photo of a guy who caught one here the Arvo before. Oh well, next time.

Had a few longer.

I finally had enough and took on the conditions yesterday. I got up at stupid o'clock and the bay was windy, cold, wet and snotty. But the fish count was worth it. Bagged on snapper in no time with a few other nice surprises chucked. Here is one of the better fish. 63cm Grassy.!

I normally start fishing for them around this time of year, picked up 19 of varied sizes last week between two fishos in a couple of hours.
