G'day TJP,

If you have a look in the reports threads there are a few ideas in there on where they have been getting the fish. You probably need to put abit more info in your threads like when you are going, what you are chasing and where you plan on chasing them etc. Because this would help and narrow down the responses.

Cheers

Nick.

Thanks for that Nick

I will be chasing mainly esturay type fish Barra Jacks Bream Grunter etc with soft and hard bodies and hope to be fishing the creeks and beaches around Ingham Townsville areas hope this is enough info to narrow the responses

Cheers TJ

TJP,

Will you be land based or in a boat?. You can fish most creeks around Townsville depending on the tides in either a boat or landbased. The problem being is the same as everywhere, and that is you are very limited to where you can get to on land. As most landbased positions cop a hammering but if you can get along the mangroves you should do alright. I am going out to Magnetic island tommorrow for a troll, will let you know how I go. I haven't fished much around ingham.

Cheers Nick.

Gday Nick
will be boat based have access to a tinny .
Was just a bit worried obout to much fresh and the affect it will have .

Down here a fresh can realy muck up an esturay for a while was thinking it is the same up there will be heading up there later this week so will just have to try (thats the fun of fishing isnt it lol)

Any way hope u nail a few tomorrow and thanks for the info
