I reckon it's one of those places that a bit of local knowledge *really* makes a difference.

Though I'm a reasonably frequent visitor (at least 3-4 times a year, though I don't always wet a line) I certainly don't have it. However, just observing so many people on the river doing completely the wrong thing is amusing. At times, its' estuarine system must have the most baited hooks simultaneously in the water vs the amount of fish caught in the entire country.

But I guess a lot of holidaymakers and kids learning while enjoying the passtime has to be a good thing.

Good luck,
Mike

PS I forgot what I was originally posting for, and got sidetracked...

Congratultions on the catch. It's a diehard effort in those conditions, so well done mate, you put most of us to shame.

Good luck,
Mike

thanks mike
ive been going to noosa for yrs but normally onli get to head up there once a month cause its a treck just for a fish but always worth the effort its a place that when all else fails wind rain or snow if that ever happends we still pick up a feed ppl say its geting over fished but i think its more like the fish are geting smarter we have caught juvenile red emperors cobia sweetlip and even a coral trout in this river so its a heathy system and for what its worth i have notice the fishing has goten better or we have goten smarter ;D but you are right ive seen alot of ppl fishing and most with out sucess
cheers rick [ wife onli lets me fish once a week, its like use it or lose it so im never gona lose it ;D]

gday sharkfin

nice effort mate and i was actually there to see it. i was the guy with me mate that came down for a while under the bridge there. we had been out the mouth for two shark bust offs. you were right about the weather and nothing on live bait. i always liked the look of that bridge but had never nailed any jacks there (always fishing lures and livies) but now you gave me a few secrets that nite and you may find yourself fighting me for a spot - but you can be sure i would make room for you. top stuff again and might catch you up there again sometime. send me a message if you need a roadie/deckie as i am reguarly heading up that way and often by myself.

cheers rick

[shut_up_and_fish]

Thank Rick,

most of my fishing up there is exploratory but mainly fish the mouth/bridge and tewantin jetty.......usually livies.......have had some big bust offs of late down at the mouth a am happy to put it down to sharks but have got some nice tailor/flathead/trevors down that way. i do a bit of beach fishing on the north shore through the winter chasing bream/tailor. be sure and email me if you want to go. went down to a local spot at toorbul on sunday and made up for a poor nite friday - landed a 600mm flathead on my trusty stump jumper.

[THE_Giant_guppie]
