Hi There,
I joined up about a month ago when I found this site and realised most people were from around SE QLD. I moved to Brissy a year ago from Perth. I love fishing but haven't really had much chance to do it consistently and get better at it. I've always fished with bait and mostly land based as I dont own a boat (yet...)
Since reading how successful soft plastics are on this site I've decided to give it a go. For my birthday last week my wife and kids got me a Shimano Sonic Pro 6'6" graphite rod with a Shimano Sahara 1500 reel and a selection of Squidgies to try. I've spooled up with braid (first time trying braid too). Gave it a try out at Hervey Bay last weekend for a couple of hours at Burrum Heads and Dundowrin beach. Didn't catch anything on plastics at Burrum (water was tea coloured from the floods) and caught only a 25cm puffer fish at Dundowrin. Pretty embarrasing but at least it was a fish on plastics!In Brissy I live on the north side so closest estuary is the pine. Hopefully I can catch a few flattys to get started there. I think I'll try down near the Hornibrook bridge on the low tide tomorrow unless anyone gives me a better suggestion.
Thanks to everyone for all their regular posts. Its great to hear the reports of what everyone catches. It convinces me the fish are out there. I just have to learn how to out smart them.
