Bobj Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Fork me :shocked:........ Got up 3.30am ,we got out early ,fished for hours ,not even a cold was caught. Next time, try an hour either side of the bottom of the tide. Neaps are not the best producing tides... Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest motlyman Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Bobj ,neaps ,mate ,am lost .:idea: The gravitational pull of the moon causes spring tides at full moon and neap tides at half moon. Basicly spring tides are higher than normal and lower than normal at full moon while neap tides dont move as much while there is half moon. Here in SA we even have dodge tides where there is no tidal movement for 12 hours. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobj Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 is the any good fly fishing ,freshwater/sea .And is the any stocked fishery in oz ,do they have trout etc. G'day mate and welcome to the forum. Fly fishing in freshwater is very productive throughout Australia, except for WA as there are very few waterways. Trout and native fish are stocked throughout SE Australia; virtually all the Snowy Mountains area is well stocked with brown and rainbow trout as well as atlantic salmon. For trout and salmon, Tasmania is the best place. North of Sydney, most of the dams and waterways are stocked with great native fish, ie. murray cod to 100lbs, yellowbelly to 40lbs, silver perch to 5lbs and bass to 7lbs. North of Brisbane one can add the saratoga and barramundi to that list, 'toga to 7lbs and barra to 70lbs. Sal****er, not sure which of the southern species rise to fly, but, north of Brisbane, most of the estuary and sandflat species will take fly and, in WA around Ningaloo Reef (1100 km north of Perth) the magnificent bonefish is regularly caught. Most of the pelagics will accept fly; there is even a "fly only" billfish tournament, or two. Hope this helps. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shark Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 thanks Bobj. sounds like fishing heaven .Bobj is fishing&fishing gear expansive down under and do you have license system ,or is the fishing free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 thanks Bobj.sounds like fishing heaven .Bobj is fishing&fishing gear expansive down under and do you have license system ,or is the fishing free No worries, mate. Is fishing gear expensive???? Not particularly so, Plenty of tackle outlets to compete. Campbell's ProTackle Licences: depends on which state you want to fish in FISHING LICENCING AND RESTRICTIONS, FISHING LICENCES In Qld. there is no licence needed in rivers or at sea. There is, however, a State Impoundment Permit (SIP) at $35 a year for any of 30 dams (impoundments) or, $7 a week. That is, from the NSW border to Cairns in the tropical north. Supposedly 75% goes to stocking your favourite dam(s) and 25% to admin...These dams stock bass, murray cod, yellowbelly, silver perch, catfish, spangled perch, saratoga and barramundi. Cheers, Bobj.

Bobj Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Bought a packet and still not taken them out of the packet... Looking for a deckie for barra fishing, any takers?? Cheers, Bobj. Had a trip to the local dam in 'ladies hours' and scored 1 @ 93 cm and 2 @ 40 cm and had another 4 hits...Jo tried to take a photo of the big girlie but pressed the wrong buttons and the photo didn't come out, so I released the barra as I don't like leaving them out of the water too long. Water temp at 28 C. Caught the big one trolling a 20+ barrabait and the littlies on a B52 in the weeds. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi all, Been reading the threads and I am keen to join in, We have been here in Oz since Sept 2009, relative new to sea fishing, and we are trying different areas around where we live, we live in burpengary, QLD My question/s are where can we go and get some good fish (well try), recently we have been to Scarborough near the marina, we have had a few Squire, Brim but these seem to have died off there, also had a 1m ray but had to let it go, no way was i bringing that up the rock face plus some catfish. We have tried Queens Beach in Redcliffe the other night and Adele caught a Grass Sweetlip, also we ave been to Bribie Island to the right when you go over the bridge had little there mainly small brim, plus a flathead. So we are open to new places to try and baits we should possible use, we try prawn but seem to get loads of bites with Chicken. Also if anyone is local to us would be good to meet up one day when you are out fishing or failing that meet up any way for a drink. Prior to 12pm coffee, after 12 beer. Look forward to hearing from you all with thoughts etc..... Plus in the new year I am looking to go out deep sea fishing, if anyone would be interested would be good to hear from you, plus if you know any decent charter boats i could price up.
