Hi all,

Now that summer is creeping up on us I'm wanting to have a go at catching mangrove jacks. Can anyone point me in the right direction,some where close to Redcliffe. Just got a cuda sounder and hanging out to try it out.

Welcome Peter,

Mangrove Jack are caught occassionally in the Pine River. That would be your closest bet. Branching out from there, I suppose the Caboolture River or keep going north to the Sunshine Coast where many Jack are caught.

Last year there was a photo floating around of a 4kg Jack caught from a boat in the Caboolture river. You should be able to fit the kayak on the roof and go for a fish before work on your way to the Caboollture displays :wink: .

Thanks for the replies, I'll try Caboolture river in a couple of weeks.
In a few weeks I,m off to Moreton for the weekend. Hopefully there are still some snapper on the drop off out from Bulwer, I'll do a post after that trip

I know guys who reckon they have had some success fishing the canal estates down near where I used to live.(raby bay,aquatic paradise). Don,t know if the ones on the peninsula, bribie produce any fish. Maybe someone can confirm or deny the rumours ? Mal
