What's On The Bite?

A common question at the moment is "With all the fresh water around is there anywhere I can catch a fish or two?"

Well, there's been some surprisingly good catches despite all the rain.                                                             
One of our Bribie Island regulars has been doing quite well on Flathead even though the water is pretty discoloured. Remember that the deeper spots will have more salinity than the shallows. His best fish in the last week was 83cm.


The Gold Coast had very little flooding and the Seaway is fishing well. School Jew are plentiful in all the normal spots like the pipeline.


Offshore from Moreton Island the water is blue and warm and Wahoo have been around in good numbers.
Spots like Hutchies as well as the bottom end of the Barwons and the Nine Mile off the Gold Coast all worth a try.


Pearl Perch are on the bite on the deeper reefs like Wide Caloundra.


The floods have been a disaster for so many in the Brisbane area and surrounds, our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected.
The only upside for anglers is that historically the fishing will be great for the next few years.
