Brisbane River Jew

[NAGG]

Hi All

I'm starting to have a fish for jewies in the Brisbane River & am after a little advice
- my preference is to use lures but every now and then baits will be used.

What I'm trying to get my head around is what tides are preferred / moon phase .
When I was living down south it was all about full moon periods / top or bottom of the tide on slack water ...... with the best senario being the turn of a tide around sunset with a full moon rising ...... the ducks nuts in summer

Anyhow any advice or locations would be appreciated (PM me if preferred)

Many thanks

Chris

Haven't done it for a couple of years, but I always had the most success in the Pine River, between Dohles Rocks and Deep Water Bend. Arafura Barras were the gun lure.

G'day NAGG, I thought i had them sussed for a while but the last 2 trips i have done have been shockers. They do it to you every time! Sinking bibless vibes type lures are my choice for the brissy as it's pretty deep where i fish for them. I just scoot around to different spots deploy the leccie and work an area over (usually pull threadys and/or jew). Ben

Honestly - I feel once they are sussed , results seem to come consistently ( for bait fishing) ...... lures are a step up though.
I plan to fish tomoz evening / night even though tide and moon are not what I thought are ideal - but to hell with it !

Hi Nagg,


I have also had success on the same lures that Dale uses but in bleeding mullet pattern with a piece of sticky weight on them and only one treble, I leave the rear one on, mainland side top of the tide Bribie Bridge there is a deep hole cast the lure let it sink for about a 30 count then wind slowly.
