On the water and fishing before 0500 today. My mission this morning was to target flathead. I used a 1/4 oz jighead and 4" Powerbait for the entire morning, except for 20 minutes when I weakened and trolled a Dr Death around, but that had no result.
The old saying "No run, no fun", still is the truest there is when fishing I reckon. The water in Nundah Ck seems to be sporadic, its runs, then it stops for a while, then it runs again. Its a bit odd but there it is.
Anyway, there was only one other craft on the water, a nice retired couple checking their crab pots. I had a chat to them at the ramp later and he said he was busted off by something huge. With 60lb wire trace that he was using it must have been a Bull Shark.
Well, I caught a heap of Bream, the best about 30cm (the only thing that went in the esky), 4 undersize flathead, and 1 Estuary Cod. It was a beeeaaauutiful morning, and now Im home drinking beers.
Cheers,
Jake

I haven't fished Nundah creek for ages!! infact as soon as i got a tinny that could handle a bit of chop and not get swamped easily by dam ski boats i have been fishing the pine and some of the bigger systems around Brisbane. I never even tried getting the canoe up the pine have had enough close calls with it in Nundah ck!!! mind you it's 14' long and i run with a full sized deepcycle bat near the front and always more gear than needed in it. It wasn't to bad with just me in there but when i had someone else sitting in the front it use to not want to go over the waves but under them 
I don't really want to head up that way in the tinny without knowing where the channel runs. I know the tinny dosn't draw much water but i also know it gets dam shallow up there!! Besides i am having fun trying to catch Jacks and Bream in other palces of the pine now that dosn't suit the scanoe >
