This sort of question is so hard to answer in text. Come to the Blakesleys social I am sure heaps of people will be happy to offer first hand tips.

Failing that read deep and well into the forum. The best thing about a forum like this vs a magazine is you dont need to hear marketing pitches. Just actual reports by people saying what they do and where and the failures and succeses.

Beat me to it Gad   @Roma - as Angus said an event like this is a golden opportunity to talk to many different people who fish a variety of area. The knowledge they can pass on in person is much greater than can be done through typing on a keyboard. Hope to see you there.

Plenty of ways to get to Straddie. Walk on passenger on the barge is really cheap and the water taxis are not dear. Once you get there the bus service to Amity or Point Lookout is frequent and cheap. You can get to the barge or water taxi by public transport from almost anywhere. Good luck!

If you check out that link you may find a lift over as well. Lots of generous people offering deckie spots. It is the number 1 benefit of this website over other social media. The goal is to build a community that goes well beyond advice. So yeah check it out and see what offers exist.

As for your first question a pretty fun way to flick lures without a boat is to pack a backpack with a few lures and keep google maps open. Around Coomera area there are hundreds of canals etc with various land based access points. Worth a go.

Sorry mate. I didn't know the context of your post about getting to Straddie. Access to Blakesleys would be difficult without a boat. Pretty sure someone would give you a lift over as Angus said.

From my experience, the successful lures i own is a whiting popper i bought for about $4 at a tackle shop at Noosaville. Caught fish in all eastern states with it. It resembles the attached pic. In terms of whiting, I've had the most success in late summer months, at high tide on clear sunny days with little wind. They tend to be a lot bigger in late summer ~45cm+. I always use polarised glasses to spot them. Worth a shot if you're near the coast.
