Did you know the legal size for common mullet is 30cm?

My folks live at Mermaid Waters and a 2mtre model cruised past their sandy beach last week. eeek thats the little beach I occasionally have a dip off and throw the ball for the dog (not anymore)

atleast the undersized bream was going back into the fishery food chain... some consolation...

this sounds like a story i had at the pin about a month back... i used a pilly though... and 24kg gear... didnt have wire though and it bit clean through after about 30 minutes

Im likely to head out again on saturday night- perhaps to the same spot. Does anyone know of any other good spots in the broadawater. I have heard that up the nerang river towards the monaco bridges are good, this is a fair treck from r.bay though.

As for the people concerned about the bream, i caught it in the canal behind my house where we feed them left overs from almost evrymeal- there are hundreds of them there, 1 smallish bream for bait is no great sin. At least some lucky predator got to eat it.

the laws a law dude..... one little bream this time...next time...the time after.....

Just another 3 centimetres and you're in the clear and you won't cop a flogging from fellow Ausfishers......easy

And whats more, the bigger the bait, the more likely you are to get that prized noah

I remember as kid i usedto go shark fishing in the rivers near proserpine and catch metre long black tips and grey nurses. all we used was dead bait and heavy hand line. We used 90lb for everything even little bream and parrot fish. Sometimes the line would only just fit through the eye of the hook. even seen a 2metre gummy shark caught this way but he had rubber bike tube on his fingers.
