philip_the_fisher Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hey guys i've been fishing at brisbane waters (land based) at ettalong under the railway bridge at woy woy, patonga, umina beach, ocean beach and lobster beach to catch only about 11 fish up to about 22 cm these included snapper bream and a luderick. these were all caught under the railway bridge. all times were coming up to high tide and night.

LEELEE Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 If the size is down try bigger baits or lures. What you will find is that the little fish muscle in in larger numbers and smash bait and lures. the big ones are normally around but sometime can't get through the smaller fish to get you bait or lure. I have experienced that time of fishing before and there is almost always a couple of briusers in the pack just waiting for thier chance.

Gangs are alright for tailor/salmon off the beach and stones, but forget about them in an estuary, dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone07 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hey phillip the water in brizzy waters at the moment is crystal clear. Its always tough to fish but so maybe try light lines, little weights, fresh baits etc. Yer sure you might come across some large fish as you say in brizzy waters but most of fish come across arent going to need any more then 4 kg line. So try this next time youre out and let me no how u go. Cheers Mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
