BREAM FISHING PUMICESTONE PASSAGE 15TH JUNE 2024
I ventured up to Caloundra to chase some Bream in the passage.
The conditions were pretty good and because it was a Saturday I made a point of arriving early at the boat ramp otherwise a late start would mean there would be no more parking available.
I am not a fan of fishing in the dark but maybe I might have to invest in some better lighting for times like this.
The quality of the bream this time of year in the passage is very good. While I did not get that 40cm bream - with 6 bream above 30cm - it was a good feed.

NERANG RIVER WHITING 7TH JUNE 2024
Просмотров 98721 час назад
I went for a whiting session down the Nerang River and targeted the canals running off the main channel. I probably tried a dozen areas but only one spot was productive. Unfortunately the quality (size) was not great but they were plentiful. I ended up with 15 whiting - definitely a couple of dinners at my house. I also hooked a nice little jewie and it was fun on light gear. A number 6 hook wi...
CABOOLTURE RIVER FISHING 1ST JUNE 2024

I had a Friday trip up to the Caboolture River to do a little bit of fishing and a little bit of crabbing. Fishing was terrible but I ended up with 3 mud crabs. One went to my mother and two went to me. It is always good to catch a crab or two.

I ventured down to the Nerang River to try my luck chasing whiting. OK - while it may have been a full moon but it was a terrible tide with a high tide of only 1.2 metres. There is a saying "No flow - No fun" and I can tell you there was very little flow but I had a little bit of fun and ended up with a feed of whiting, bream and grunter. I hope you enjoy the video.
BREAM FISHING 18TH MAY 2024

I travelled up to Caloundra to chase some bream in the passage. While it was a slow morning the quality of the bream were pretty good with the biggest going 40cm - and yes I did struggle to get that fish in the boat but when I did I am sure the fish was concussed. I imagine that over the next few weeks the quantity and quality will only improve.
FISHING REDCLIFFE 5TH MAY 2024

I decided to try my luck fishing in the Redcliffe area with my main target being snapper. This is the first time I have fished in this area and with little knowledge regarding actual fishing spots I was a little worried that I was going to have a do-nut day. There was a 6 knot breeze and a little rain about but it was an enjoyable day on the water. I managed to catch a nice snapper and a 40 cm ...
COOMERA RIVER WHITING 26TH APRIL 2024

I ventured down to the Coomera River on the 26th of April to try and catch some Coomera whiting. The conditions were not ideal. 10 to 15 knot winds predicted and yes - they were right. I haven't fished the Northern Arm of the Coomera for a little while and I probably will wait until August before I venture down there again. In saying that - I ended up with a feed and it is always great to get o...

I travelled down to the Nerang River on Friday to try and catch some whiting. While it wasn't a great tide and there was a 10 knot wind blowing later in the morning I managed to get a feed of fish for the family. The Monaco Street stretch of the river is producing some decent fish, while they are not elbow slappers every now and again you get onto a fish that is pushing the 40cm mark. The only ...

I have been away over the Easter period and with all the rain predicted over the next few days I decided to have a session down the Logan River. The bream usually start to move into the river during April and they are always fun to catch if there are bigger ones about. When fishing for bream I usually fish with dough and bread and during this session I show how I fish using the dough. Previous ...

I had a quick morning session down the Nerang River before the South Easterly hit. Obviously I was chasing whiting for the family dinner table. I started the session at the Council Chambers but after about 45minutes - I made a move down to Monaco Street. Here the whiting were more plentiful and the size was around the 30cm mark, so they were not huge but an OK size. After catching a feed I deci...
LOGAN RIVER FISHING 2ND MARCH 2024

Last weekend I thought I would try my luck fishing in the Logan River - WHAT WAS I THINKING?? OK - there are probably a lot of people thinking that I am a fool for believing that I would catch a feed of fish - yes, I admit it - I was a fool. The amount of fresh water still flowing out of the catchment did surprise me but at least I did not go home empty handed. I hope everyone enjoys the video.

Great work Johnny enjoy your video’s love watching your catches I get great pleasure from your shows keep them coming Poppyc
John, do you mean flavoured dough with eg cheese, sardines etc when you say dough ? How are you finding the new rods? Love your old style fishing videos.
Nice
top job once again mate 100%
Well done John,a good day out and the weather is coming good ,about time to, so you haven't been using those blue-ring Monteville garden worms, they were good bait back in the day,BUT the Cribb ISL, blood worms are good, we lived next door to BILLY GRAY at Cribb isl, many years ago he was the local wormer at that time ,his Boys and i fished the flats for whiting and flathead,good old day's, the B,GEES WERE THERE AT Cribbie School with us as well, as 12/13 year old's a great place to grow up. Other people will remember THE Red and White bus line owned by BILL WHITE they ran through to the city, down passed the golf course at Nudgee.GOOD OLD DAY'S. The old Pile Light WAS A TOP SPOT FOR BIG WHITING AS WELL. Cheers Chris
John what sizes rod you use name of the Jarvis walker rod you use. I really like your fishing video
My main rods are Jarvis Walker Jimmy Crane Light. They are 8'6" but unfortunately they do not manufacture these anymore.
I will be purchasing a Jarvis Walker Meridian Estuary Crane Bream rod very soon to compare against the Jimmy Crane. I used a Meridian Estuary Sensor Tip on Friday - it is OK but nothing like the Jimmy Crane.
@@johnthefishingman Ok thank
@@johnthefishingman Ok thank
Didnt think you would change from Jimmy Crane rods.
I was only trialing The Meridian Estuary Sensor Tip - It is OK but I still prefer the Jimmy Cranes. I think the Estuary Crane Bream rod will be similar to a Jimmy Crane.
Get some oil for your reels good video
You are right - I need to give those alveys a bit more love and care.
Let me know your address I will send you some oil for your reels good video
🪱
Could you do a quick run-through of your rigs and what bait you're using please John??
When whiting fishing I only use Cribb Island Blood worms. I use a number 5 sinker (In some situations I may drop down to a number 4) and a long trace of about 4 - 6 feet. I use a 6lb main line and trace. I use mainly number 6 or number 4 hooks. My trace gradually shortens because with a number 6 hook is usually left in the whiting.
@@johnthefishingman Thanks bloke, appreciated, keep up the good work.
What bait for the whiting John ???
🪱 Worm's
I always use Cribb Island blood worms
Yammo ,them fish be like eating prawn meet.
Sorry John I mistake the crab i didnt see the v
Good to see the Alvey being used. I love mine
good stuff Jhon the logan is firing up again
I am unsure when I will be down there next - Probably won't be until July.
Good on you But I do have to ask When are you going to be in the modern era and start using spin reels I use to be the old way but spin reels are the way to go
Hi Shane, In my opinion it takes more skill to fish with an alvey especially if you hook a larger fish. No drag on the alvey, you only have your hand and rod to play the bigger ones while with an egg beater - you just wind away - no skill required.
You got 2because u are looking after your Mum
John, mate , I know it sounds crazy but I tried pike eel in asia. . cut into thick steaks an fried, they are to put it simply , really delicious. I know , i know i was raised to hate them too. but I don't throw them back any more.
I tried eel when I was in China - not sure if it was a Pike Eel - fried was ok - boiled was rubbish. But from what I have read - I am not putting a Pike Eel in my boat while I am there.
Better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick 👍 keep up the great fishing John
Thanks Tony - Yep, Mudcrabs is an OK result.
Well done
What boat ramp do you go to to get to that part of the river?
I put in at Carbrook Boat Ramp. It is a good boat ramp - secure parking and Tony will look after you if you need any bait or tips on where they are biting.
I live at coochin Creek when I was a kid. Right across the road. What a place to live as a kid.
Yer mate pretty sure most are still up the rivers because been getting very few on the beach, but still getting a lot of whiting off the beach so I'll take that. Keep up the good work mate 👍
They are starting to move out now - good catches have been occurring out around the mouth.
A nice mixed bag John.I tried the Coomera on Friday. We got a feed, but only just. Poor tide and windy conditions. Congratulations on the quality of the video. It’s very professional.
We just got home from comrea at the north arm with big butter bream
I have never kept Butter Bream. I am sure they are OK to eat.
Well done John - Nice feed of fish - Just wondering how you make your Dough and do you add any scent to the mix. Keep up the great Vids
I just use self raising flour - parmesan cheese and water - I never tried using any scents but I am sure that anything like that bream will be attracted to.
HEY John, good to see the bream on the move mate some nice fish there to, starting to get bloody cool as well , bring it on hey. ok mate good video . Cheers Chris.
Yep - They do catch decent size bream in the passage.
Nice feed of bream mate and looked like nice day on the water to boot. Well done. Yes, I'm jealous - wet and cold weekend down my way.
Great work John. Some nice fish there. With bread and dough doing so well, you’ll be sending the bait sellers broke. I’ve enquired about those Jimmy Crane rods, but you can’t get them any more. That’s a shame.
yep - I also checked with Jarvis Walker. no longer manufactured. Luckily I have 6 of them. I will be testing a couple of Jarvis Walker rods in the next few months - hopefully they measure up to the Jimmy Crane.
@@johnthefishingmanThanks John. It will be interesting to get your feedback.
Jarvis Walker "Black Queen" rods are a good estuary option as well.
We went down the north arm of comrea on Saturday and we got a couple nice whiting
very decent size bream. awesome. enjoy ur feed mate.
Hi John, great video. Thanks again for the Snapper, it tasted really good roasted whole in the oven. 5 stars all round
A great result for a new area John. What were you using, half pillies?
Half pillies on one line and strips of mullet on the other. Caught the snapper on the mullet.
Have you ever tried fishing port of Brisbane for snapper
@@shanewilliams1312 Not yet - I may have to give it a try one day.
@@shanewilliams1312 Hi Shane - I have never ventured down there. Maybe one day
Love your videos John. Where do you buy Jimmy crane rods and what pound line do you use???
Unfortunately, Jimmy Crane Rods are no longer manufactured by Jarvis Walker - luckily I have several of them. I was using 12lb line with a 30lb trace. I probably don't need that heavy a trace - I thought there would have been more ledges and rocky outcrops but where I was fishing the bottom was more shelly and flat.
My local John hope you had a good time 👍
Yep. I will venture out there again and try different areas. As long as the wind is around 5 knots - I think if it is 10 knots it may get uncomfortable in my tinnie.
Got a nice feed there, John! Was that a Pink Snapper?
I have never called them Pink Snapper - yes they are light red colour. I call them snapper or squire.
@johnthefishingman Well done John. A hundred years ago, snapper was spelt schnapper as described in the writings of Thomas Welsby.
top job mate see you soon
We went to were you the north arm we four grunter bream all over thirty
Still got a nice feed despite the conditions John. Thanks for sharing.
Do your kids like fishing
Yes - but my kids are 31 and 29 years old.
Whats the biggest nerang whiting youve ever caught john?
40 cm
I have recently come across you channel. Enjoying the videos. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Zac
Thanks Zac
thanks for the vid Jhon the Mighty Logan is looking a lot cleaner should be back to her former glory by this week
I am thinking of heading that way on Friday or Saturday.
Do you use yabbies in the Nerang River
I only use Cribb Island blood worms but I am sure you will catch them on yabbies.
G’day John, we love watching your vids. Thank you for helping us find new fishing spots. It certainly has increased our catch rate. I also love those rods you use. Where can I buy Jimmy Crane rods? I was told they don’t make them anymore. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
At the moment I cannot see any of the stores have them in stock. I am unsure if they are still making them - luckily, I have quite a few of them.
Hi Peter I contacted Jarvis Walker and you are correct - they no longer manufacture Jimmy Crane rods. Luckily I have quite a few of them but in saying that Jarvis Walker now manufacture a Meridian Estuary Crane Bream Rod - I may buy one to compare against the Jimmy Crane. I will let you know how it compares.
Great video as usual John….thanks for sharing.
Great work mate 👌🏼
We are loving your videos. Keep them coming. Where can we buy those Jimmy Crane rods on the Gold Coast?
I don't know of anywhere down the coast where you can get the Jimmy Cranes. You can buy them online - I purchased mine through BCF (no longer stocks the rods), Tackle World Kawana (unsure if they have any stock) and Mo Tackle. Last time I bought them they were $35 - I think they are now more expensive.
Love your videos. Where is the gazebo please.
The Gazebo is no longer there - it was burnt down but you can see the posts where it once stood. The first right hand bend past Riedel Road - it is on the left heading down river.
