Hi Paul, thank for sharing a great day on the water. Cheers

Thanks Paul. That sounds like a good tip.

Another tip with this rig is to cut the weight off the jig with a hacksaw. the jig will want to float and the action is better I think.

[@OntheChew]

Thanks mate. I’ll give that a go.

[@33454262]

Looks like a fun way to fish. Very relaxing. Hope you don't mind the question but where around Brissy would you recommend to try that rig Paul

[@OntheChew]

Hi Warren. Sorry I only just saw this. I am not that familiar with Brisbane but anywhere that people catch winter whiting would be a good place to start.

Good stuff Paul. Do you know how far north into the Straits the squid can be caught?

[@OntheChew]

Right to the top of the island mate.

Nice say out by the looks of it. Went to rainbow once with a mate and it was good. What’s Tin Can like for a fishing holiday?

[@OntheChew]

Hi Paul. I find it great for a family fishing holiday. If you search the Tackletactics page I did an article on the fishing there about 12 months ago. There will be an upcoming article about this holiday but it’s more focussed on the squid. I find it a great place to fish offering lots of options.

[@paullobwein1632]

@@OntheChew ok I will do a search. I usually go to bribie for fishing but it feels like it’s getting busier now and fishing isn’t what it once was.

[@robsmits8782]

what depth were you fishing?

[@OntheChew]

Between 25 and 30 feet seemed the most productive
