Another good clip mate. We were does at the rocks at the end of Pallarenda on Saturday. Caught some flounder

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@goldyandrobbo6540 thanks legends I know the spot and don't think I can honestly say I've caught flounder before lol

[@jaykeinnes6793]

Great vids man, just moved up here and im keen to get into it!

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@jaykeinnes6793 thanx! And yea that is awesome to hear, pls keep me posted how your experiences go, I love to hear reports

[@jaykeinnes6793]

@saltwaterfishingnq had a little success so far, gonna try the drains today. Had a little flick last night and had no luck but there was something big smashing bait

[@lennythevillenq]

Yeah boys! I'm a new subscriber and live just around the corner from these drains and am kicking myself that I haven't done this yet. I've been down there for an arvo session but stayed out of the drains, hopefully I'll definitely see you there sometime soon. 🤙

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@lennythevillenq welcome and thanks for the subb really appreciate! Can't wait to hear how you go... winter can be hit and miss but I will be uploading a night session there soon! Stay tuned

[@jaykeinnes6793]

I'm heading down to the drains today if you're up for a fish. If you see a 6"4 white dude with a beard and a leather broad brim hat come say g'day. Just moved up here and it'd be good to meet some other keen fishos!

[@bdadventuresnq]

We have wanted to try here! Looks like some quality Barra hangout there👌 cool video

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Yea nostalgic 😂 we used to get barra here on a kmart rods in the 90s when I was a kid. Nothing's changed lol still a healthy system

[@ClaytonFord]

I'm really enjoying your channel mate. I'm actually moving up to Townsville in a few days, keen as to hit the water.

[@AndrewBonora]

What tides u find best for fishing beach?

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Hey mate, personally a 2.8m - 3m high to a run out is full of action

[@TroyH576]

Went fishing today with my mate got a nice 45cm jack went fishing on the other side of the drain you were fishing heard a massive boof inside there. Might have to go fishing with you sometime cant seem to get anymore barra😂.

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Freaky aye when you here the loud boofing under those tunnels, alot of people have no idea how cool it is

[@compassadventures6021]

Fire 🔥 Bala 🤙🏾

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Thnx bala still haven't forgotten we'll wet a line one of these days 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@450tank]

Are fish in the drains fish ok to eat, or are the drains too polluted?

[@TroyH576]

They are great if they are clean i live on the back of the other lake next to it and i sometimes eat the barra and jacks from there have never gotten sick from it

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

Most frequently asked question I get haha. Short answer seasonal weather conditions can impact the quality of the water

[@WolfPiggys]

Is this drain spot tide dependant at all?

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@WolfPiggys in one sense yes but not necessary as even on low the water depth in the tunnels are about 1m.

[@WolfPiggys]

@@saltwaterfishingnq What about when chasing a barra or something? Would you say a tide is better there. Or any time should have a good chance

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@WolfPiggys oh I see, I have had people tell me they went during day and not got anything. Most times I'm either dawn or dusk on a outgoing tide. But it is best during the rain

[@WolfPiggys]

@@saltwaterfishingnq What would you think of todays tides? Any good for the spot and when

[@saltwaterfishingnq]

@@WolfPiggys go for it, let me know how you go!!

[@Megladonman2708]
