Rock Ledge fishing

[mzaakir]

Hey guys, not asking for any spots but just wondering if theres any rock ledges in brisbane that hold decent fish, ive been trying to find some but i dont know if there is any, I think closest thing ive found is scotts point and if im going to the coast, snappers rock but its always packed a relatively far.

Another question, which islands which has good ledges would i be able to get to on a fairly calm day on a 3.7m tinny?

 

Thanks guys

You could try going up to the Sunnycoast as there are a few rock fishing spots up there.

yeah thats not a bad idea however if i was going up north i think id rather go harvey bay, got a couple good spots there. Im surprised though theres not many ledges in brisabne at all

I used to do lots of rock fishing at Double Island Point, Noosa Heads and Lion Rock...mainly for jew with snapper and kings as bycatch.

More local to Brisbane the selections are pretty sparse...and pretty lame fishing to be honest.

Try looking for places like the rock drop off at Banksia Beach almost directly at the end of Sunderland drive.....only fishable 2 hours either side of low tide but it does produce some nice snapper at times. There are quite a few ledges along the Bribie Passage like this.

To be honest, if you are after snapper specifically, try and locate cockle beds...they produce good fish with less annoying small squire....less numbers but far better quality.

These days I tend to ignore popular places and explore for far more subtle grounds that are less pressured.

Keep in mind current patterns and convergences.....they are feeding lanes for fish that sit almost stationary waiting for the food to come to them.

Thanks for the help man, ill keep looking, wouldnt mind trying for some snapper now and again but its mainly for pelagics which i think will be really hard to come by. Ill give sunderland a go see what happens

I have never fished it but I think north straddy would be worth a shot land based....there is some reasonable water there.
