queensland Overnight fishing in Morteon Bay

jalova · July 1, 2007

Hello,

I am taking my son fishing in the Bay on Sat 14 th of July til Sunday lunch time. I have never fished there before so could anyone give me a couple of spots in the bay. Also where I could safely anchor.

Any info would be most appreciated.

Cheers

I have read in the Beacon to Beacon that there is a boat ramp near the port control centre at Whyte Island, I was thinking about launching from there but I am open to suggestions.

Cheers

jalova · July 1, 2007

Thank you Joel for these GPS spots.

I have never caught a snapper so here's hoping. !!!!!

The \"beacon to beacon\" will give you some safe anchoring spots arround the bay & islands.

jalova · July 1, 2007

Yeah Lozz but no fish in them spots.:pinch:

I don't know what sort of boat but if conditions are good head out to the four beacons. Just follow the chanel markers out the river until you get to the 4 beacons in a square at the end of the line.

Or smaller vessel and con's are good try bay side of fishermans, just head out to the mouth and turn east south east when you get to the end of the rocks, go about 300 mtres and drop anchor.

Or if you got yourself a big fancy boat head straigh out to the atk's reef near mud or down to north west tip of peel island.

Or if you are crazy like me - do it all!:woohoo: But have a good day?

Hello,

I have a 5.3 metre half cabin with a 130 hp Yamaha. Thanks I will try Mud and peel islands, not sure where atk's reef is.

Cheers

Brian D do you have a better description of where the four beacons are? what is there? a reef or a drop off?
