Brisbane Waters

[Novice101]

Hey Raiders

Fished Brisbane Waters a few times over the years and have another fishing comp for my clubs monthly comps coming up in early March

Over the years have tried paddys and the RIP and a drift along St Huberts but never seem to have any luck with good fish either undersized or eels

 

Any tips to break to Brisbane Water drought?

 

Cheers

I live beside Brisbane Water and feel reasonably qualified to answer.

I think the fishing on the southern end of the Central Coast is the poorest in NSW. The only tips I can offer are:

1. Fish at night. Late at night.

2. If you want takeable fish in quantity, go for blackfish. They are always abundant.

3. Have low expectations. One or two legal-sized fish is a good result.

Occasionally I have had very good catches, but you have to understand they are the exception and rarely repeatable.

BW functions as a nursery so the overwhelming majority of fish are undersize. In fact there are so many undersize fish it makes fishing difficult.

What’s your secret to catch in Brisbane Waters Circle hooked?

Experiment.

Use Lures, especially ZMan.

Bait. Squid, Worms, Yabbies.

Cheers.

If you have a boat, Rip bridge is the go.
