Brisbane river bass

[plas-chuka]

Hi all,

I have never done any fresh water fishing before but I have heard a lot lately about bass fishing in the rivers & what a great sport fish they are, after a bit of searching on the net & watching a few youtube videos I am very keen to give it a go but I'm not sure where to start, I know people may not be to keen to give up their favorite locations but any suggestions you have would be much appreciated, also any advice on lures, I have heard that they pick up on vibrations in the water so soft plastics are not very effective is this true?

Thanks,
Leigh

Leigh , are you fishing from the bank or on the water ?

I'm actually curious of any VAGUE locations that I might be able to bank walk while throwing lures for bass upriver of Brissie?

Back in the early '70s I caught a few Bass up around the Linville area. I've always been meaning to go & try it again with the modern gear I now have but have never got around to it. Just be aware of private property as quite often the fences are not necessarily the property boundaries. Also a few long, brown, fanged thingies but I suppose that goes with bank fishing, hey?
Good Luck
Steve
