Still plenty there mick in all the usual spots, got mates that get them there regularly.
Going back to the old stomping ground around January. Has anyone got reports for this area? Deep water bend, Dohles Rocks, the bridge, behind Westfields Strathpine, etc? Wouldn't mind finding a Jack.

Lovely, I learnt to fish in the Pine and since then have been refining the skills up north. Can't wait to get back to the local, no matter how fished out she is.
Plenty of wake boarders throughout the area with good numbers of jet skis encountered right up the far reaches of the system. Good fun on small calibre but take a big stick to passify the catch.
Cheers, Clutter
I have a feeling I might know some of those wake boarders. The odd Bull Shark story might suffice.
The good ol pine,
Yeah I also learnt to fish around Bald Hills/deep water bend.
Waiting for the big prawns to come back again.
I've recently heard that some big Bream are being caught further up.
PM me and I'll give u the pos.
cheers Lee
Still catching the pike eels at the sunken barge near petrie. Not many reports of Jacks but I know they're there 'cause I see 'em being caught, and quality ones at that........people just don't report 'em. There's some good bream since the rain, but it's getting past the little buggers that's the problem.......I've taken to using squid as I'm sick of baiting up every 4 seconds >
Quality mullet in the cast net when I can be bothered to use the sounder correctly :-) and let's not forget those beautiful fork tailed slimy things :-)
If I can't get out to Moreton over the next few days, I'm giving the Pine a bash....will report.
cheers

Sounds like the Pine has managed to survive the past few years. I gave up on her about 10 years ago. Ol fool I am!
Kev, make sure you let me know how ya go.
Thanks heeps guys, Mick
If any of you guys needs a deckie to fish the Pine I would love to fill the spot as I don't want to tow my boat 12 hours south. Not sure when I'll be there thou.., sometime early in the new year. I am hangin to fish it for sentimental reasons.., caught my first fish there at age 5. That, and I need a wake up as its been pretty easy fishing the unspoilt north lately.
Mick
Give me yell when you know when you'll be down. I'm sure I will have a spot for you.
If you want to learn how not to catch fish, then I'm definately your man!!! #Originally Posted by Mick
Dan, I thought you said learn how to cat fish at first read. Would be a lot more appropriate.
I gave the pine, north and south arms a good go and never did any good apart from catfish. But I have seen a few good bream and flatties caught there. Gruntahunta has a lot of success in the lower reaches with winter whiting as well.
Now I just use the pine for towing the kids around on the tube. Is excellent for that.
Forgot to add,,, it still produces good muddies in the north arm near the turnoff to that dirt boat ramp. If you know the pine then you know where I mean.
Never made it Mick :-( Appointments with builders, fencers etc...the sooner this ferkin' house is finished, the better. Forgot to mention that there's still good muddies to be had, but you have to sit on top of your pots. The last 3 times I've been, Trawlers have been working right down to Castle Hill so I suppose that means south Pine is probably the better go.
Nowadays, I tend to concentrate more on the cast net to fill the freezer with mullet and herring, but If I'm free New Year, you're welcome to teach me a thing or two.
cheers

Kev and fishing Dan, I am happy to show you the spots i used to fish with success in the 80's. Don't know what that means now though. Struth, the river might have even moved in a different direction since then. Oh, happy to supply the beer as well.
DONE!
You found the way to win me over! he he he That way, if we don't catch anything, it won't matter as much!
