Hey Sam, Welcome to the forum.

You have a heap of landbased places to fish in your area within a fairly short drive.

Here's a few recent threads to peruse that will help you out -

 

Shornecliffe, Redcliffe/Scarborough, Pine River, Bribie Island are all in your area.

Have a look on Google to suss out some spots and access.

Fire away with any questions.

Thank you very much for the warm welcome and info..much appreciated  

Saw your profile and boat in the background.. I had one very similar picked it up from Bribie Island.. best little boat I've owned..kids loved it..tubing..fishing..spearing..off of North Queensland area.

I got mine in May last year and have had a lot of fun in her mainly around Moreton Bay. Are you thinking of getting another ?

This one is a  2006 model..I purchased her second hand from the one owner in 2016..upgraded from the original 40 hp Yamaha 2 stroke( only 100 hours since new) to 40 yamaha to 4 stroke..in 2016..the ride was much better with the 2 stroke.. put in a new floor and carpet..upgraded the sounder to a Lowrance 7 inch GPS combo.. and VHF an electric anchor winch due to my back.. L.E.D. under gunnel lighting...the four stroke was too heavy on the back even though they had that option at the time back in 2006.. I added trim tabs but still not the same..I had more bow in the water with the lighter 2 stroke engine ..even with full trim down she just didn't ride the same.. Unfortunately sadly my younger days have caught up with me and I can't sit in a boat anymore due to slipped discs L5 through to S1 thus the need for land based fishing only.

Bugger about the back. That'd be really annoying. I'm similarly paying for bad decisions when young and have emphysema, so I'm right on a boat but not much good walking around landbased. haha

Surprised about the boat, although they were the early days of the 4 strokes so sounds like they hadn't figured out the best fits. Mine's a 2011 model and the 4 stroke 60 seems to be a perfect fit.
