queensland Southern Bay Snapper???

[Angus]

Hey everyone.

This might sound like an easy question, but im looking at locations and techniques for southern bay snapper and squire.

Firstly winter is an ok time for them is this correct?

Im planning a few trips out on my Yak. So i want to find some locations that are in reasonable paddling distance. WayneD was saying Peel is about 2 hours paddle from Cleveland adn this is fine.

Anyone want to join me in the paddling quest?

Coochie and Macleay are very reasonable paddles from Victoria point. I often see yaks out on the north side of Coochie snapper fishing but I reakon there are more on the south side.

Autumn to Spring are supposed to be best snapper time but inside the bay but I have done best Feb/April at Coochiemudlo

Mate if i have my new yak by then i will for sure join you!

Should be nice and fun.

I know they were pulling up some decent squire and a couple a snapper from the redcliffe shallows last october, mainly off SP's

Definately go for a paddle to Macleay. We've got 3 or 4 legel snapper from there even though we almost never catch legel snapper. We also get good sized Grassy Sweetlip and we also get busted off by big mystery fish. So use a heavy leader.

Thanks guys!

Sounds like that will be the plan (Macleay that is).

having seen the size of the sharks in the south bay peel area, def stick to the more southern islands like macleay, really rough section between viccy point and mcleay so pick ya weather well.

There is a good section of reef close to wello point. It is a very easy paddle from the ramp and the spot is easily located, lots of tinnies around the reef when they are on

Hey Aaron lets join them in the 4.7m Yak with 2 seats and a donk!

I'll have the electric set up by then so we could sneak up on em:evil:

We could be there mobile esky and tackle store:) - Also just if you don't know there is a good shop or 2 on Coochie

Squire are starting to turn it on at Green but you would have to be a mad man to paddle too there.

Excuse me for asking but I am a new member....wats wrong with a boat and motor to get there?
