new fisher - looking for lesser known/decent fishing spots around the northern brisbane suburbs

[The Fish]

Hello, I am a fishing beginner, and am looking for fishing spots. I have been to Shorncliffe and various nearby spots, but have low luck catching anything. I am planning on going to "Deep Water Bend Reserve". Any tips for fishing there?

Do not cast any more than two metres from the bank at DWB, the fish are along the wall.

No sinker, just a hook and a small bait 1/2 the size of your finger.

Cast up current and fish back towards you.

Thank you, I will see how that goes.

I used to fish Deep water bend. Most success was on using livies from the cast net.

Dead baits or Summer not a great spot as you will hook onto the catfish.

Hi @TheFish

If you are happy enough just catching some fish for a bit of fun to get the hang of it all, go to Deepwater Bend on a neap high tide ( neap tides are tides with a high low tide and a low high tide which means minimal tidal movement) and fish for gar fish. Fun to catch and excellent to eat if you know how to butterfly them. Lots of information on you tube on how to catch them , simple as this.

I unfortunately didn't catch any fish, though I reckon it was because I fished at the wrong time and used the wrong bait, next time, I'll definitely be more prepared. Thanks for the help and advice everyone.
