Hi Peter
Couldn't find how to attach a picture in the PM section so put it in here for you as proof positive they are there where I said, this one was bycatch fishing for bream caught on yabbies in February 2019

Thanks Ron. Be an interesting exercise to target them. Have you chased squid in the Passage?
I see plenty of them when I wade the mangroves....mid summer as well.
I always thought they left the estuaries in summer.
Military Jetty at Golden Beach is a spot that is overlooked and there are big schools under there.
Peter, they are up here in the weed beds nth of the power boat club normally BUT they don't like dirty water and the Passage is very dark tanin coloured so I imagine they would have moved out. Maybe it clears early further south.Quote:

A few seasons ago I got about a dozen good tigers like this.
The lecky makes it all too easy.
A few Bribie locals use hand spears with good success between the coast guard and the Bongo jetty.
They would be there now in good numbers and the water doesn't need to be overly clear.
Water does not need to be clean for luderick.....they just find it harder to find your weed bait in dirty water.
They will still be there now in the runoff.
Thanks for that info Tony much appreciated, hows that new boat going, are you going to give it a bath this weekend
