queensland Good Mixed Bag In The Nerang

[Daryl McPhee]

We had another good trip landbased to the Nerang River. Yabbies and Cribb Island worms produced a good mixed bag of grunter bream, whiting to 38 cm, tarwhine and bream. All of the parks in the Nerang River and the Broadwater foreshore produce fish if you put in the effort and keep things simple.

Hi Darryl

Being new to fishing and pretty new to the gold coast I don't really know what you mean by any parks on the Nerang river.  I am desperate to find some new spots - can you give me the name of a few parks so I can look them up?

Cheers Kat

Very nice session Daryl and a tasty collection of estuary favourites. The video wouldn’t load for me from this site so I had to go to YouTube and search for it.

Tasty fishing !

Hoping to get some of the same tomorrow night when we hit the Nerang.

Did I hear right that the whiting are better in the lower reaches on the outgoing ?

Have a look on Google Maps/Earth and follow the Nerang from in behind Surfers Paradise up and you will see the vacant land/parks.

Hi Kat. Ellicat is on the money. Just have a look at Google Earth/Google Maps and any of the small parks can produce fish. The second one in the video is Southern Cross Reserves on Cronin Island which is one of the more consistent spots. I have even caught a juvenile cobia there. In the Broadwater - Shearwater Park and Anglers Esplanade along Runaway Bay and anywhere along Marine Pde produce fish. There are also plenty of fish still at Shorncliffe Pier on the northside of Brisbane - this was from last week and we did well there this Monday as well.

I generally prefer the outgoing tide in the lower reaches but I have caught fish on all tides.
