Fishing tips

For the table or released?
I actually knocked the sides off it, I fish to eat. That's the biggest I've managed so far fishing the passage and the canals however would you believe that's a small one between the small group of us that fish for them specifically! My neighbour has caught 12 over a metre this year! I gave the rod to my 5 y/o son for the entire fight, he lost his mind when it jumped, I just landed it, entire fight was filmed by a very prominent fisho on the sunny coast and makes very funny viewing but we agreed not to show it as too many landmarks would give my position away.
You'll probably see me up there next time I'm on Bribie- I knew they were becoming more common.
Awesome catch.

How do you specifically target them Peter? Technique? Equipment? Any tips.

Sorry seeds no other tips, you gotta put the time in up north in order to target them down here and learn how to tie a very specific knot, oh and learn how to throw a castnet.

Cheers mate, I remember you saying you've got family around Cardwell, everything you do up there works for down here, if you can get one on lure I'll buy you a beer
I've been seeing and hearing of good catches in the Gold Coast Canals also. Some people are putting in the time and effort for the results.

Ha ha that's about as hard to learn as casting with an overhead reel. Both can end up in absolute frustration and disaster.
I'd love to get one on a lure Peter- be very, very hard to tempt one no doubt.
I have my ideas though- mostly fishing slackwater at night on new moon tides.

You use a paternoster rig then?

close.. Pete uses the 'jackarse patroniser rig'. double privilege jackhook with a light running shot.. bogong larvae bait. cool fish, congrats : )
How you SA tinny fishos faring?? Gonna be a long haul..
I wouldn’t eat anything caught down there at the moment. Beef sales are up.
My daughter just had her 2nd pack of Jack Link's Teriyaki Jerky..
NZ beef and fartiness is certainly predicted to be on the rise.
(made her have a psyllium smash before the second pack!)
Embrace the human body’s processes
How good is jerky?
it's in the excellent range.. 8.25?
clearly depends on the jerky.. Jack Link's 8.75 to 9.00 -
Mike's from Robe where you hung out @seeds, a solid 7.00 to 8.00,
depending on the drink you wash it down with.
Territory Jerky a definite 4.5, which I know is generous,
but a compelling journey that tastes like arse sweat,
and has the texture of chewed cardboard deserves a bit of a nod.
Haha territory jerky. You could get a job on the marketing team.
Marriott Meat.
Commerciial St Marleston
11 for their biltong.
Got the Saffa flag on the sandwich board out the front.
IN-TELLLL..!

haha. gold,
OK, so I want to try my hand at fishing. I have a couple of rods and reels, and an assortment of stuff in a shiny tackle box (Chrissy present from a few years back). I've got salt water and fresh water options close at hand (Narrabeen). But, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
Can anyone offer me some pointers? I'd really like to impress the missus.
