Yabbies are a great bait for flathead.

Pillies  are good for Kingies but I'm not too sure that the Seaway is a great spot to target them.

Hi Poacher..

With my limited fishing around the Gold Coast, there are some spots I have had some luck.

I've caught whiting at the spit, I reckon you could get bream and flatties there too. I used sand worm, but I suppose pillies a some small gang hooks with a light sinker/running sinker rig would work well. Prawns would also go to, and if you have a spot to pump yabbies, they should probably work well for everything.

The Sand Pumping Jetty is an option, and while I've never heard a report that hasn't said "this place is full of people taking undersized fish and is PACKED!", I've heard tailor, bream, kingfish, flathead, whiting and cod coming from it. It seems pillies or live bait are the go there. Though, a kingfish would be pretty rare.

The Seaway rock wall is a good spot too, check this video Team Madmullet Productions (madmullet) has done on Gold Coast fishing basic for some more tips. They get a range of species on bait, slugs and plastics. 

By the way

Thanks ellicat, I was wondering why it was spammed in the newest posts section  

Hope this helped,

If you want kingy's then head to any big rocky headland. 

Pillies or livies. Take spinning gear and slugs for livies.  

 

Never caught kingy's in the seaway.

Caught plenty of queenies though.

i personally don't use any bait from servo, likely been there for so long, it is useless imo

go to local fish shop and buy fresh stuff, my local IGA always has less than month old pillies, and also pump your own yabbies if you can

Hi Aal

That is true, it is always best to source your own bait and avoid servo station stuff - it's often battered and old.
