Good fishing around brisbane?
Hey all.
Just wondering if anyone knew any *good* fishing spots within about a 45 minute drive of Chermside? I don't want to have to go out on a boat or anything, just drive there and throw a line in. Anyone have any good fishing spots they'd like to share? :) |

Heh, Exis, I don't have a boat (Read thread).
Chermside is on the North Side of Brisbane. Wynnum is acceptable, in fact it's preferred, but are there any spots around that area that doesn't require the use of a boat? |

well, in theory there are "plenty" of fishing spots
its just that they have been f*****g over fished to buggery, and now everywhere is dry.. been like that for about 10-15 years now. sime (epi) catches s*** in front of his house, flathead n stuff. good fishing around this area requires a boat or a car man :P, (car = barge to straddie) if you are keen, drive to cleveland, and get the flier over to straddie. then get a bus to amity point or point lookout endless amounts of aweesome beach fishing spots.. about 40 miles worth on main beach hehe from all the points around point lookout you get tailor, whiting, bream, flathead, f*****.. tiger sharks straddie just f*****g r00ls ok |

I go to dolies rocks which if you take the murrumba downs exit off the bruce highway and go right, and follow the road to the end you will find a place that hire's tinnys cheap as and dont require a boating license for them. Mainly you catch a lot of diver whiting ( little tiny whiting about 10cm long which are legal at that size, full size whiting and the odd toad fish. biggest haul we got was 120 diver whiting, was a great feed that night :D tinnys have canopys to keep you out of the sun, and you can buy hand reels which is all you really need for about $8. If your not interested in boats there is a jetty or beach on either side of the river you can use cast rods and reels on. Hope this helps.

F***, awesome Eds. How much approximately is it for the Tinnys? I've been to Dollies Rocks, but never went out in a tinny there.

Pharcyde, not to sure to be honest, I think we payed something like $50 for 4 hours or something, so if you go with 3 or so people its pretty cheap, just get a bit of bait and away you go. Havnt hired a boat for a while as my grandad bought one and he lives at murrumba downs, normally just drop his in the water and head off :)

damn it. this thread makes me feel like going fishing tonight... hmm might organise it. we go down the gold coast. we've got a few places that are secret, but you get kicked off them ! whenever these is something illegal , there always has to be something good about it :(

Between the bridges on the pine river like Eds mentioned is good sometimes. Ive even had some luck off the old bridge that goes over to redcliffe.
Thats probably the best place withing 45 minutes unless you want to try your luck off the jetty at redcliffe. |

always worth trying the boat ramp on the way out to fisherman's islands at lytton. strong currents. always get some good fishing through there.

All land based fishing spots suck now, that's why i caved and bought a boat.
So far the best spots are: Gilligan's Island: small tuna, tailor, big swallowtail Mud Island: small snapper, big bream, golden trevally, parrotfish, snub nosed gar, squid Measured Mile beacons: big bream, tailor, mackerel, kingfish, cobia - live bait recommended. excuse any spelling mistakes, I just got home from happy hour at work. |

holy crap, u caught newspapers? they dont look like they came out of the water though, they arent wet...... :p
just bein a c******* sorry, thats a pretty swoit catch, those two big bream would have to be round the 35 - 40cm mark right? |
09:25pm 19/11/04 Permalink
I'll take you up to our house on fraser island one week, and we'll take the boat off the beach and do some hard-core deep-sea fishing :) Be warned, I tend to chunder due to sea-sickness - but that doesnt stop me one bit :D |

erm......
that flathead + soul / souel however you spell it aint f***** legal man.. and neither are the bream. f***wits like you that ruin it for everyone else please dont take undersized fish, its just wrong, man you wouldnt even get a fillet off those bream.. butterbream on the other hand.. /darts eyes at defi.. rofl and nice mullet lol last edited by existence` at 00:11:45 20/Nov/04 |

The flathead seems legal, the legal size is around 30cm, and I am pretty sure a newspaper is quite a bit larger than 30 cm tall.

12:40am 20/11/04 Permalink
its sole.
also, they're probably legal. |
01:17am 20/11/04 Permalink
F*** off existence, you have no f***** idea. The smallest fish in that photo apart from the sole is a 25cm bream.
And for your reference for sizes, the golden trvally is 45cm long. There is no legal limit for sole so go f*** yourself. + That "mullet" is a calamari squid you f*****g tool. last edited by Furgle at 11:08:33 20/Nov/04 |

furgle can i see some pics of your boat.. my old man just bought a new one

11:20am 20/11/04 Permalink
haha you f*****g twats
sandy flathead(which is what that is) has a legal limit of 33cm thats probably just on legal, not that you would have checked, coz youre a m o r o n so youre f***ed, im sending that to the authorities and i do have a clue c*** so stfu also, just measured the width of a paper that you got the fish lying on the bream lying horiztontal looks about a bit more then half the width of 1 of the pages. the pages are 29/30cm long, so.. thats at max a 17cm bream which is illegal, coz legal is 25cm afaik. so. die last edited by existence` at 11:34:14 20/Nov/04 |

And by your own calculations, you have just proved that these fish are legal

I wan't some of what you're smoking. see the green lines, they are both the same size - the size of the smallest fish. Notice how the green line when rotated and lined up with the start of the page goes 4/5ths across?
I can't beleive how stupid you are. |
12:17pm 20/11/04 Permalink
welll...once again existance u have proven just how intelligent u r....
Seeing u thought the squid was a MULLET.....WOW! If you just follow the link furgle posted in his post..it CLEARLY answers the size debate! However...maybe a "WHAT FISH IS THAT" book will help u tell the diff between a MULLET and a SQUID. (waits for a typical reply from existance - the guy seems intent on proving hes a idiot! |

what are the fish on the far right of the above photo?

08:30pm 20/11/04 Permalink
I've heard the brisbane river is great for fishing. Some real tasty ones can be caught in there!
quite seriously though, how about that pedestrian bridge running adjacent to the houghton highway out to redcliffe? that may be a good fishing spot? |
09:56pm 20/11/04 Permalink
You guys ever tried freshwater fishing on the local dams?
Find a nice spot an you can be draggin in some good sized fish. Barra, Sarratoga, Tilapia (<-- kill on site as noxious but fight well), Bass, YellowBelly (get f*****g huge!!) last edited by HERMITech at 02:23:39 21/Nov/04 |

chermside is a bit of a bum place to set your fishing around... but there is a spot prob bout 30 mins from there...
deep water bend lots of mud crabs to so you can put a pot in while you fish if you dont know where it is ask a bait store cause i would find it hard to give directions basically you just drive north good fishing spot though |
10:38am 21/11/04 Permalink
what are the fish on the far right of the above photo? Venus Tusk Fish. Really sweet flesh, better than snapper, not as good as coral trout. |
