Where to catch australian bass.

[Charlie Sparrow]

Last week I went to the moggil creek to try to catch my first bass, I succeed and got a 43cm Australian bass on a popper. I now want to go some ware different, I live in Brisbane and do not want to travel all the way to somerset. I heard the Mt Crosby weir was supposed to be good, but there were lost of no fishing zones. 

Has anyone been there and can tell me exactly where whey went?

-Thanks

Do you have a kayak? Most of the small creeks in  Strathpine area hold bass. Fish then early morning of evening. Not the same size as the one you got but still a lot of fun.

Hey mate, 

Mt Crosby is an alright spot, I've caught lots of bass there, I would suggest using surface from 4-7am or a diving hardbody when its later in the day. It is probably a good idea to go there and suss it out as theres many spots to fish from there. Good luck. 

Also, out of interest, did you get the bass on a boat or from the land at Moggil Creek?

On the bank, the moggil creek is so skinny its to small even for a kayak, you can sight cast them to witch is fun

If you want to explore as you go I suggest heading east from the service stations on the freeway around Beerburrum. you have 3 main creeks in the area and a LOT of feeder gullies that hold bass too. My best from a sink hole there was about 53cm.

Find a gully and bushwhack up from there....it is amazing where they turn up, often totally land locked.

Never fished it but often looked as I went by and thought that it had to hold fish.

Kholo Bridge has access to the river there with a ramp for kayaks.
