WRECK OF THE FL0RANT. WOY WOY, Thursday.— The auxiliary fore-and-aft schooner Florant struck the east spit on the Brisbane Water bar at the flood tide, about 3.30 p.m. on Wednesday. She took the old boat channel which, owing to adverse winds, has silted up, and struck on a sunken rock, which went through the bottom on the starboard side. The heavy current at that point carried her to the eastward, and through the continual bumping she has lost her rudder, and is now full of water. There is very little hope of salving the hull. There are two Jersey City oil engines installed. The Florant was a regular trader between Sydney and Gosford, carrying general cargo and returning with timber. She is a vessel of about 40 tons, owned by the captain and others.

Breakfast Creek is an easily accessible land-based spot that can produce jewfish, cod, sharks, snapper, and threadfin salmon. The spot to fish is at the mouth, where this large tidal creek joins the Brisbane River at Newstead House. There is deep water in the casting range and a rocky structure. Nearby lights attract baitfish at night. Expect big jewfish and threadfin salmon if you use live bait. This area can be fished on both sides of the creek, but the southern side around Newstead House has the best fishing points. Bream, cod, jacks, and squire snapper are caught with dead baits. Catfish and bull sharks can be a nuisance. Mullet, herring, and prawns are ideal live baits for big fish, as well as putty nose perch. When the tide slows fish live baits without weight, or with a float. Pick evening high tides when boat traffic is low during the week. Surf rods help when fishing here, but smaller rods will work. If you don’t score, no matter, the Breakfast Creek Hotel located off the northern bank is famous for its steaks. Source: www.wikifishingspots.com.au/breakfast-creek-brisbane-fish...

Breakfast Creek is located near Albion which is 4 km northeast of Brisbane. This waterway offers multiple chances to reel in some fish at various times throughout the day. But for the best results, we recommend coming early morning or early evening this is when the fish return after the ferries sail away. Fishing Type: Land-based Expect to find: Flathead, Bream, Threadfin Salmon, Jackfish, Snapper, Jewfish, and Mangrove jack Best time to go: Early morning or early Evening Source: manofmany.com/outdoors/best-fishing-spots-brisbane

The lads look more fishermen rather than anglers to me. There is not a rod in sight. I would suspect that from their positioning, there may be a line or a net somewhere between them. Angling at that time was not a pastime of the common man. If he did eat poached salmon, it was more than likely the second time it was poached!!

For the month that’s in it “The Mayfly BY DOUGLAS FLORIAN A mayfly flies In May or June. Its life is over Far too soon. A day or two To dance, To fly— Hello Hello Good-bye Good-bye.”

Anyone found this on Google Maps? What is that rectangular thing on the shore - a glass plate case?
