I know some feckin big ships go pretty well up and down the port so be very, very careful and stay out of their way. I think they tend to cavitate a litttle when they turn so they tend to sail like Jonah used to sidestep ie not very much.

Have had some of my best lure fishing sessions ever, on plastics and hard bodies in the Brissie river at night. Once you find the fish hang on for some great action. Generally light colors eg. Mann's grey ghost seem to be the go but all depends on the night. Find the bait and get as close as possible to it with your lures/plastics - 2 to 5 inch sizes is what we usually use.
10+ Jew/Thready's in a session is not uncommon on a good night, just got to find a good night

As above, 7 inch white Gulps for me though.

Are the Brissy River fish for eating? When I was a kid they used to say the fish could be magnetised they had so many heavy metals in them.

But there has been decades of improvements since those days.

So if I ever catch one can I eat it?

I used to fish the sunken wall at Pinkenba for bream a lot. My take was that the mouth of the river was refreshed with each tide. I ate everything, as did my family. No ill effects (apart from the extra eye and a slight glow.). Should be fine, I reckon.
