Bobj Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Saw that a few weeks ago, it's been doing the rounds. Caught a beaut large mouth nannygai at lunch time, released it and a huge estuary cod scoffed it down as soon as it hit the water. Cheers, Bobj.

Guest cazbeckham Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just thought I would let you guys know that I caught a Stingray (Hubby reckons it was about 20lb) in the Maroochy River today - good eh? Was fighting it for a long time and at one point thought I had snagged on the bottom till I let some line out and it took off again whoo hoo!!!!!

sussex boy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Fishing question, what eatable fish am I likley to catch from the sea and rivers around FNQ? I wont have a boat for a while so beachcaster only and a light rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Fishing question, what eatable fish am I likley to catch from the sea and rivers around FNQ? I wont have a boat for a while so beachcaster only and a light rod G'day mate, about 75% of the fish are eatable...IF they are big enough. There are size and possession limits for virtually every 'takeable' fish. Recreational fishing (Primary Industries & Fisheries, Queensland) Off the beaches you should get whiting, bream, flathead and 'blue-nose salmon' along with the odd barra and threadfin salmon. Don't confuse the salmon with the UK variety... Better variety of fish if you go off the headlands for reefies and pelagics (mackerel clan , giant trevally and queenfish). A few noteworthy fish NOT to eat are paddletail, chinaman red bass because of ciguatera poisoning and barramundi cod, qld grouper, potoato cod and maori wrasse because they are rare and protected by law. Possibly the most prolific fish to catch and eat in FNQ is the mackerel clan, greys, school, spotted and spanish. Great fun on light line and excellent eating. Just remember that they have extremely sharp teeth. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Bugga!!! Forgot about the river fishing...Barra, mangrove jacks, threadfin salmon, bream and flathead in the lower reaches. In totally freshwater...Not much in the eating line, but some in the sporting line; milkfish, jungle perch, sooty grunter, the odd smaller barra and fork-tailed catfish. And...NO licence necessary in any river in Qld. However, a State Imoundment Permit (SIP) is needed, costing $35 a year, to fish any of 30 dams in Qld. NO licence for sea fishing in Qld, either.

Bobj Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 35 dollars is really good value,Bobj.it costs a arm&a leg over here. G'day mate, even when I lived in Yorkshire we had to have various 'tickets' to fish various places. And that was nearly 50 years ago!! Same thing in New Zealand, I had to buy 4 'tickets' to fish a paltry 6 km of river in the South Island for the huge range of brown trout, rainbow trout and redfin, oh, and eels. Cheers, Bobj.

sussex boy Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Burley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Burley? Berley=ground bait. A good berley should include the main bait one is using eg. 5 parts chook pellets, 1 part chopped pillies and 3mls tuna oil mixed up. Can be frozen and lowered to fishing depth, can be left soft and 1/2 cup sea water added, mixed up to a "pudding" consistency and small amounts dropped into the current every so often. Cheers, Bobj.

Bobj Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hopefully, I'll be fishing these rock-bars in April. The Keep River, Northern Territory. It is one of the last 'outposts' for barramundi, being quite isolated from any towns. A good chance for off roading...Happiness is making your own track to a new barra billabong I 'found' this pool over 30 years ago and made my own tracks...Same river, just closer to the estuary.
