got to the brisbane river at 8:40am. Burleyed up and put bait X on the hook with Burley X in the water
In the end 3 catfish one which i used for live bait for sharks (didn't get any) and 2 i let go one being an absoulute monster at about 40cm. Didn't put up much of a fight. I was using 6lb line
anyways real hot day but good day nonetheless
cheers jack
hey jack maybe you should have used one of the catties in your pot after this fresh
cheers.
hey joe
yer mate, i took the pot but only got an undersized muddie and threw it back. Not much happening with the crab side of things
cheers jack
When i was a younger fella, I used to hit the Brissie River. The best catfish (fork tailed or blue cattie) my mate and I ever landed was 52cm... we caught a few at this length and assume it was the same one.
You need a biggish hook though, 2/0, as they like to suck the bait & you'll never hook them otherwise.
What sort of rig do u use to target sharks in the Brisbane river?
just one more cast........
ok mate
starting from the top I have a swivel, 30cm of 30lb mono with the float and a heavy enough sinker to keep the cattie under and to keep the float sitting niceley in the water. Under that I have a 60lb wire trace covered in that black plastic, and at the the end a nice big hook. People say that a 4/0 if good but seeing as my traces already have a swivel and snap lock they cost a lot so i use a big hook so as to make it easier retrieveing
cheers jack
