Thanks for the video, good down to earth information. Cheers Today's squid jig style lures have been around for fifty years, before then we used bait style squid jigs. Shooting fish with a bow and arrow in Queensland waters I thought was illegal, may be that was fresh waters.
Thank you. I can't ever recall seeing squid jigs in a tackle shop until a couple of years ago, but then I never looked in the lure section until a couple of years ago so that could explain it. Back when I was shooting squid with a bow and arrow you could use an aqua-lung for spear fishing and minimum size for squire was 25cm (too small to bother filleting) so I really doubt anything I did was illegal.
My plan of attack at Green was to motor to around mid Island but out wide, then motor in towards the Island until i saw the bottom start to angle up from 30 feet, i would then start flicking plastics drifting in until i reached around 12 feet depth, i would then motor back out and a bit north and repeat, my best morning was 18 legal Snapper before 8am, the winter months were poor as water was too clear.
Great video. I'll let you know how I go next time I am out there. Looking at your map, the last time I was there I would have fished on the southern tip between the two sections of reef. Should probably have been a bit more to the E or NE
Regarding your coral trout comment I did catch a legal one off Green many years ago.also caught and released one undersize one off of Wellington point. Nice to see some great information sharing by you keep up the videos I really enjoy watching them.
Oh wow! That's great I think you are the first, first-hand report I have heard. All the other reports have been second or third hand. Thank you for the kind words.
@@weFishAU I’ve been fishing the bay for more than 20 years and sometimes you do come across unusual fish species for Moreton Bay. Again many years ago I caught a legal small mouth Nanygi from around Macleay Island.
hey mate if you want to catch squid on jigs you just need to be in shallow 1-3m and give the jig a few flicks 2-3 and let it sink for 3 seconds and repeat (imitate a fleeing prawn thats flicking and then swimming to the bottom) me and my mate bag out almost every time getting 20 each in a few hours at green
With the wind blowing from the east or north east I have fished the western side a few times. Mainly caught squire but I have also been sharked a number of times. Pulled up squire bitten in half and had line bitten through. This is the same area that I see people towing their kids on tubes.
Off the top of my head I can't think of many areas in the bay where I haven't either been sharked, caught sharks or seen sharks, they are always around the food supply.

That is an excellent mornings fishing.

Yes, I always did best out from the areas where I saw there was actual coral. Good luck, looking forward to hear how you go.

Thanks. I usually go to Fishermans gutter, Peel or Goat. I know they are around Green, just never tried it there.
The flat corals are called plate coral and sometimes acroporas
Thank you. Plate coral should be easy enough for me to remember.
