    theres a multitude of fish species to target in the brisbane river on lures
    but you'll be swapping picturesque creeks for dirty wharfs and cargo ships
    then again the pumicestone passage has its fair share of fish once cracked, up the creeks seems to be the go...usual species include bream, flathead, mangrove jack, cod, the odd school jew, the odd grunter.

    I've got plenty of swamps to take you into up here mate. You'll feel right at home. But in these swamps live fish that eat beam for brekky lunch and tea.

    Lol I like that Keith

    Yep plenty of bream, flathead, cod, Jew, Trev's, grunter and Jack. Squire and threddy's in the Bris R on top of the above..
    You will also run into the odd catfish, stingray and pike eel watch these fella's if your ever live baiting, they are kinda like a very solid hair tail with way to much smarts out of the water and chompers that would put a Jack to shame

    Cheers

    So thats your secret bait for the jacks keithy. Do you use timber or steel beams? What length works well? What sort of retrieve are you using?
    It would be nice and cheap for me im sure ill be able to pick up a few off-cuts from work. Share ya secrets and i might be able to throw a few your way Thanks in advance for your help mate

    Nagg. You cant come up here if you bring the Tigers jersey. They'll turn you around at the border.
    If you wish to learn more about reading and getting the most from your Lowrance units or learning more about fishing with artificial baits I will come out in the comfort of your own boat for one on one coaching. Please call for more information.

    If your on the north side don't forget about Nundah creek/cabbage tree creek... a good place to hide away when the wind pics up with rocky bars, mangroves, pontoons and moored boats, pulled a 28cm bream out of a school of 15 I was sight casting to (need to get lighter leader than 6lb ) and a few whiting on plastics today in an hour (was fishing fly the rest of the time but could only get bumps from whiting that didn't hook up at that stage).

    Oh and the Bay is great too

    Cheers,
