Fishing The Ripples Bribie Island

The fishing bank may be good at times. Don t be fooled by the nice white beach, this beach drops off into a deep coffee rock ledge home to the hardest fighter the Passage has to offer the mighty mangrove jack. They have been taken land-established along this strip of hidden rock on many instances. The crabbing around here may be good at times particularly when there’s some new running. Head north from here towards Caloundra, you’ll find Hussy Creek, Coochin Creek and Bells Creek all onyour left. These creeks mentioned are famous for whiting, jacks and mudcrabs. Your best bet if wanting to enter these regions is to grab yourself a copy of the Beacon to Beacon directory sold at most bigger tackle stores. (fishingmonthly.com.au)

Game fishing went on a trip and had a ball on the pelagics that are smashing trolled baits now. The awful twosome managed to tag two black marlin and three dolphin fish with one male dolphin fish a pending Queensland record on 10kg line class. Other reports from offshore include tuna from inside the bay with two of our three species that we get here caught. Those species are mackerel tuna, longtail tuna and yellowfin tuna. The fish are ranked in the same order in their eating quality also. Mackerel tuna are more of a bait species as the eating quality is poor. Longtails are the 1st of the tunas that are a good feed and are the biggest tuna we get here in the northern waters, they’re aka northern bluefin tuna. (ourbribie.com)

We passed vehicles parked along the sand, their occupants already engaged in either fishing from the shore or sitting under a sun shelter, reading and relaxing. Out to our left we passed a freshwater lagoon, the 1st of four that finish only metres from the ocean. The bush backdrop and ripples on the surface made it appear cool and inviting. We promised ourselves that the next time we came we could bring the canoes with us and go for a paddle to explore the lagoons properly. A call out from behind alerted us to a couple of dolphins swimming not too far off shore. We pulled over and jumped out with the camera but were just that bit too slow. (4wdaction.com.au)

The ‘fish caves’ were transported to the Wild Banks site by cargo vessel where they were lowered to the sea floor using a big crane. This was executed using a three point lift where each point was released using a floatation release system. A float was attached to the release hook exerting a vertical force on the hook. The weight of the ‘fish cave’ on the hook kept the hook closed till the ‘fish cave’ touched the sea floor. Once the ‘fish cave’ touched the bottom the hook was forced open by the greater vertical force from the floats. (nprsr.qld.gov.au)

Where to go: Whiting tend to forage for crustaceans and worms in water from some centimetres in depth to the edge of a deep drop-off. Sunshine Coast waters are plentiful in structures and natural formations which attraction to the hungry sand whiting. Sand whiting feed in regions where the tide current helps them burrow for food and probably spots are working sand ripples, tailing sand banks, shallow and deep weed beds, over yabby beds, over sand flats where soldier crabs are found and up under the mangrove roots. Any shallow beach gutter with an incoming tide may also fish well for whiting particularly in times when the swell is quite calm and the water is very clear. (swanboathire.com.au)

So what did we learn? 56 of you favor a 7 rod for the application, 44 want that fishing rod to have a fast action, to accommodate the braid running a leader less than 3 meters. That leader is in the 4lb line class, and is tied in 25 of cases to either a large walk the dog . Bent Minnow or small walk the dog style tempt. Not amazingly either, most nearly 50 of you noted weed flats as your favourite structure for this style of fishing although I personally favor tight structure like jettys, docks and pontoons, particularly if they have great subsurface structure like broken rock and weed.

The 1st day of round 12 of the Hobie Kayak Bream Series presented by Daiwa, being held in Mooloolaba over the weekend 16-17th August 2014, started with cloud bursts of heavy rain that looked ominous at times, however the predicted 25kph breeze never eventuated till the closing half an hour of the session. The breeze was usually light in the shelter of the canals, producing glassy conditions, which continued during the day. The only evident marks on the water were the ripples produced by water droplets from the light to heavy rain, saturating the anglers but not dampening their competitive spirits.

Its 7. 30pm. The sun seems a giant egg yolk as it dangles low in the pale sky at dusk. The red, yellow, and pink clouds sitting on the horizon seem to be cooking it. Darkness is hinting at its imminent arrival as insects dance across the water s surface, apparently indulging in their own variant of the six o clock swill before the night closes their party. The breeze holds its breath. The dead trees that dwell in the lake are silhouetted against the darkening blue back drop. They appear like giant grey arteries reaching skywards in search of an organ. In the stillness the heat clubs us about the head. (footyalmanac.com.au)

When I visited in January, a increasing tide was quickly flooding over the tidal flats and washing away the patterns in the sand. One of the 1st compositions I set up included a small patch of rippled sand enclosed by the increasing tide – I thought this could make an interesting image if I used a long contact to soften the water motion and highlight the ripples. And it may have, except throughout the 30 second contact, my little patch of sand was swamped by small waves and the increasing tide – the structure disappeared before my eyes before the contact was finished. So instead, I turned back to the west to photograph the scene below. (bobsimpsonlandscapephotography.com)

. It’s a spectacular demonstrate that gave me insight into his activism, the oppressive regime of the Chinese government and his creative procedure. My favourite room was Wei Wei’s tribute to the school kids killed throughout the earthquake in Sichuan – when substandard buildings collapsed. Wei Wei and friends tried to get a list of the dead from the Chinese governement without success – so they have collected as many as they could by talking to local people. They are represented in big scale printed lists pasted to the walls. On the floor is 150 tonnes of straightened reinforcer bars that were covertly bought by Wei Wei. (lisabehan.com)
