Fishing in North Stradbroke

[brisbanebound]

Hi All,

Havent been fishing for ages due to some problems at home but have decided to gte the rod out again.

Me and a mate heading to NSI at weekend and where wondering what is the best location between Point Lookout and Amity point?

I know Angus reckons its the best spot for fishing, but we are unsure of where to book our accomodation, cant remember what one it was.

Really fancy trying throwing some lures around for a change as well, so any advice really appreciated.

Accommodate yourself at Pt Lookout if you are heading to Angus' spots off the rocks.

if you want to be able to walk to the pub locate yourself at Pt Lookout

Stay at Pt Lookout it has all you need. Try Dunwich at night for a fish off the jetties, use some live baits & plastics, if you see the fish busting up out near the parked ferries toss a metal slug if you can reach them, your bound to have some fun !!

Sounds amazing can you cast net anywhere?

[crazywalrus]

you can but be careful as there are a lot of rocks down below the jetty. Can wreck a cast net very quickly. you can also get hardies along the rock wall but same goes do not let it get to the bottom.

A couple mins up the road from Dunwich is "One Mile" (I think that's what it's called) which is another ferry drop point. When the tied is up it's safe to cast your net and not damage it. 1st cast when we were there the night before Australia day filled the bait bucket with ease

Do you think it would be better taking the car? We were hoping to win it without it

They have bus services from Dunwhich to Amity, Point Look out etc.. during the day I have attached the link to the bus service. http://www.stradbrokebuses.com/

Personally when i went for a day trip with my girfriend without a car we found it a bit tough with fishing gear & beach stuff etc.. and getting from one side of the island to the other.

depends on how long you go for if your there for a few days it's worth taking a car, if just for a day or one night then maybe the bus is ok but it may limit your movements, especially at night if you want to cover some ground when fishimg different spots.

Sundays there was a day rate for cars of 50 bucks which is great, catch the 6am ferry over to NSI and then any ferry back home on the same day (that's what I'm planning to do hopefully this weekend) need to check if the special is still on !!

point lookout if you wana fish the rocks or for something differant try the sand mill pilons for gt's kingies on popers. you can also catch good bream and squire of the jetties and thier is a rock bar formation out the front of the old sand mill which is worth a crack with plastics.
