I couldn’t say no to an invitation to go and fish for bass in the Brisbane River. Like many of our rivers it is alive with escapee bass and a few local fish as well.

Hey mate I fish there all the time. You need to go with a poppers! They love it!
Hi Peter
Another great video 👍
Any dramas with bull sharks taking the bass? I’ve heard stories in that stretch of the River …
That’s a great session Peter. Thanks for the video. You’re inspiring me to get out on the river and have a go.
looks like a pretty wild place to fish, so much structure in the water! makes you realise how much power water has when there's uprooted trees everywhere… some cracking fish to be had though, that first bass was a great size 👍
Whereabouts did u launch to get into the Brisbane river?
