Are you allowed to fish for them?.coming from the UK I wouldn't mind having a go

They look like some beasts

That's some superb info,thanks so much. At the moment I'm using mostly penn reels in the 2000-7000 rang for all my shore fishing then multiplyers for boat. Out of interest,what species do you fish for in the "impoundment natives"?

I thought not as I'd never seen anything similar there

Hi guys, Could someone advise on this please.... We are moving to Brisbane in April and I'm currently sorting what fishing gear to bring with me(I have lots ) Obviously I'm bringing my sea(boat/shore), fresh water (bait,fly,lure) but,I have lots of match fishing tackle as I fished comps in the UK (roach,barbel,chub,etc).I have pole and rods(feeder,waggler,bomb,stick) as well as trolley,ground bait buckets,rollers,etc,etc....the full set up. now,is there any point in that gear coming with me?is there a use for that tackle over there?.or do I try to sell it and buy more sea gear Many thanks Simon

Funnily enough I've just made a few of them for my trip tomorrow! .it sounds very similar to here then

Hi guys, As some of you know,we are moving to Brisbane from the UK in april.what I'd like to know is are there any websites/threads where I can take a look at your rigs for different species and how they differ to ours?.I make my own rigs and wouldnt mind starting to make a few of the rigs you guys use!. Thanks for any advice

I thought I'd heard of rainbows and browns in Tasmania but didn't know they where right through . obviously knew of the coral trout but thought that was it

Your trout are very different to ours too!.looking forward to getting to grips with new lures and methods

Hey Mzaakir! That's so kind,will definitely stay in touch. That sounds great,hard to pick but I'd probably rate sea as my favourite type due to the unknown of what might turn up.do love a bit of lure/bait fishing on the rivers too.

Funnily enough that's what I caught if I remember rightly small little catfish.

Yes makes sense. As I haven't a clue on species it would be a stab in the dark.we use lots of plastic/rubber eels here for our bass fishing,fish ranging from 1lb-10lb+.in the rivers for our salmon, trout and sea trout we use lots of metal spinners and rapalas.

Hi all, As some may of seen my first post here,we are relocating from the UK in April to brisbane.out of interest,could anyone advise on what type of lure you guys use in the rivers,from the shore and on kayaks (bit of a wide ranging topic I know ). Just wondering if they are similar to the UK so I can stock up before heading out

That's great,thanks.ive only had a couple of attempts on the river when on holiday.i fished by the moggill ferry if you know it?,wasn't very successful

Will do,and thank you so much for the reply

Yep,been many times as have family there and was told to wait until the summers over first

Hi all!. We as a family are relocating to the suburbs of Brisbane in April and I will be hopefully looking for some advice and possibly some fishing friends!. Have fished all my life here in the UK, with sea fishing my favourite both shore and boat.look forward to reading the forums,asking some questions and hopefully meeting some of you in the near future
