Fishing off the Breakfast Creek Bridge, Brisbane, 1949

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    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

    You don't hear many criminals saying that nowadays: “I don’t know anything about it but I take all responsibility”.

    A very clear image with lots of character to it. What's interesting about these police mugshots is that it shows crime has always happened - personally I don't think 'The Good old Days' existed. Instead, I think times were very hard and even making small sums of money illegally happened often. No welfare state existed back then and when work was slack or health was poor then people took desperate measures..
  • Michiel2005 said:
    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] I don't think anybody argues that there was no crime in the past, but what is striking is the amount of attention from the police and the press these relatively small property crimes attract. Also the hard punishments are noteworthy. It would be difficult to find a police station where you can report such crimes nowadays, let alone that they will be brought to court.

    Michiel2005 I still hear older folk complaining 'it was never like that in the past'.. I agree though - petty crime but we need to remember that a coat or two kitchen knives was often all folk had. That amplified the severity of the crimes. Imagine finding you have no coat mid-winter and no money to buy one.

    Very convenient spot providing good visibility without destruction and restrictions. The Queen is in the city, it can not be missed.
