Cheers!

We usually go June through September, July has been best for us over the years

Coochin Creek is usually our go to for kayaking, it's full of flatties, cod and the odd jack. The canals and weirs behind Golden Beach at Caloundra have some good bream and the breakwall at Mooloolaba has some good fish too.

Double Hookup Fishing thanks man appreciate it!

We usually target tailor on shallow minnow-style hard bodies and slugs during the winter, but you can also catch the odd dart, GT, bigeye or mackerel. There are jewies and school-sized sharks at the bottom, although you'd need bigger gear than we take to target those, at least 8ft rods and 30-40lb line. Most people use bait or soft plastics for jewies, although we met this crazy bloke who showed us photos and vids of himself catching them on ultra-deep diving hard bodies. It's a great spot, best conditions are south-westerlies with good swell.

Thanks for the reply bro! Have you target jewies or gt’s there yet?

We haven't specifically targeted jewies at Fingal yet, although our dad does when we can bring him along. Either his baits get picked at by bream and the like, or he brings up a wobbegong (accidentally of course). It's on the list for this winter for sure! GTs are more of a tailor bycatch, and don't tend to get around much when it's cold. You can also get them at the mouth of the Tweed off the rockwalls during the summer, but they're few and far between most of the time.

It's a fantastic spot, it's since been (in some spots questionably) paved, but there are still one or two one-lane timber bridges which makes us grateful the road is still quiet! You must some fantastic memories from all those years ago. We have our dad to thank for our love of fishing, wish we could go more often with him.

Herring are a bit more fragile than other livies such as mullet, so we pin them once through the back just in front of the dorsal fin, avoiding the spine. This keeps them alive longer and since a lot of fish attack livies (especially herring) head first, it gives you a better chance to hook up.

@@doublehookupfishing3942 ahhh do you attach a sinker to your line? or are your lines weightless

The exact lures we're using are a trade secret, but we use between 60-100mm Atomic, Halco and Rapala divers. If you keep a close eye on them in the video you might be able to work out which ones ;)

Double Hookup Fishing cheers man

MrCobber04 Have a squiz in the video caption for the full breakdown of our setups, and thanks for the sub!

Thanks Chi, it was heaps of fun to film and see it all come together really well.

Toope’s Edits it’s at Tallebudgera. Next to the swimming enclosure on the south side of the campground on the east side of the creek south of the bridge.

Double Hookup Fishing cheers man

Jax Heaton If you’re talking time of year, December to February (uni holidays basically), if you’re talking time of day then we get there for first light, around 4:30am, then fish till around midday

Exact lures are secret info, but we found Rapala and Savage Gear shallow-running minnows worked best.

We'll make sure to be careful crossing over to the island, thanks for the heads up!

The only thing we'll miss about winter

dillon Durry Hey Dillon, if we’re looking for a feed, we find keeping the smaller legal fish helps to ensure the larger breeding stock are maintained in the system to reproduce, which keeps populations up for future fishing.

@@doublehookupfishing3942 yeah true makes sense

i agree, not sure what the fuck he was doing 😂

Just can't believe how short the bust up lasted based on the amount of splashing going on

We got there just after high tide, and left around 4 hours into the run out. We usually caught more tailor around the high, but as long as there's good water movement and lots of whitewash they'll be there.

Jordan Beatty further into the creek, on google maps it's between Quicks Island and Yabbie Island, there are yabbie holes there, only accessible around low tide though

Thanks I normally go up at west burleigh bridge

LuckyHealingLizard Gee thanks mate, glad you enjoyed! Took a little while to find the footage but happy with the result!

There were only a couple over 35cm when we went back another day, would love to come to NZ later in the year. The kingfish and snapper fishing looks insane over there!

Rocket's Fishing Adventures Thanks again Rocket, two things we forgot on that trip were a net and a brag mat. Will put it on our fishing to-pack list

Thanks Rocket, we're each using 20lb braid with 40lb mono leader. When we fish with 6lb we use double uni knots, especially for surface fishing, but when using heavier gear we've found tying these knots is quite tricky due to the difference in the thickness of the lines. If you've got any recommendations for leader that would be better suited for this we'd be happy to hear them! DHF

If I am using anything over 15lb leader, I will use the FG Knot. It takes a bit of practice to perfect, but is in my opinion the best way to join braid to heavy leader. I use a modified Albright on anything less than 20lb as I find the FG hard to tie in lighter line, and the Albright has served me well. There are plenty of UA-cam how-to vids, but the one I found most helpful was from the guys at Big Angry Fish - ua-cam.com/video/yk7uWUa4z6Y/v-deo.html

Thanks Rocket, we'll check out the video and get some practice with the FG knot! Tight lines, DHF.

Thanks Britt, we try our best

Absolutely, would love to land a monster soon!

Lincoln Somerville It's a great spot, some more Tallebudgera action coming soon!
