queensland Anyone been to the pin lately?

[Troy_79]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has been down the pin lately and whats biting? heading down there on fri morning for a few days. Probably stay at cobby passage fri night then go from there. Iv'e heard there's a few flatties around. im im assuming there will be a few bream, whiting and tailor around aswell. I'll be using pillies, squid, mullet and yabbies. And maybe some sp's and hb's but i never have any luck so might not bother

cheers, troy

Come say g'day at the broadwater on sat for the social if you want mate Plenty of lures getting thrown around, might change your luck with the sp's and hb's

Is that the bream social around the southport area? I'll be in a houseboat so might take me about 5hrs to get there from the pin lol

I mite see you down there. I was there 1 1/2 ago heaps of Whitting n bream. Just hit the bait shop up at the boat ramp they are really helpful

[Troy_79]

just realised that i put this in the wrong thread sorry. Dont know why i put it in fishing reports

caught a couple of nice tailor & whiting there 2 weeks. Plenty of Bream around too. Was using yabbies & plastics.

We were down there on the weekend.

Species that hit our SP's included;

Bream, flathead, tailor, squire, hairtail and squid.

It was a freakshow...

Fished there for a few hours today for about 12 flatties between 35-40cm and my mate also jagged 2 bream which were unders.

Was a massive high tide at 9am and ran out hard for the rest of the day really!

They are forcasting some heavy rain overnight and tomorrow morning. If we do get a decent amount of rain and get alot of fresh from the the rivers/ creeks how will this affect the fishing? On previous expereinces the fishing has been crap after alot of rain,

i have been to the pin twice in the last 2 weeks and flathead and bream have been in plague proportions for us and anyone can get onto some if they poke around but as well as that we picked up pike, flounder, whiting, tailor, stingrays, moses perch. Still no jew for me tho All fish were caught on lures tho, mostly lipless crankbaits, vibes and sps, but some on bibbed minnows. I guess a variety of baits would only increase the number of species on offer

Forecast was right! If the fishing is slow, work the area near the mouth of the bar and then follow the clean water up as the tide comes in.

Cheers mate yeh i'll be in a houseboat so wont be able to get near the bar but looking at the totals the goldcoast area got around 50mm so there shouldnt be to much fresh if any coming out of the creeks.
