gold coast cananls

[kronky13]

would it be worth trying the canals down the coast? with all the rain and wind that has been round. would there much action in the rivers and canals that would be sheltered from the wind and stuff?

Driving around the coast yesterday, all the rivers & canals were chocolate brown and full of debris. With the water like that the fishing would be poor at best.....

had cabin fever with all the bad weather so I went out yesterday morning, stayed on the boat all day and last night. Canals way to muddy to fish - just totally full of rubbish and a horrible brown colour - also a strong mud smell, so concentrated around the seaway. Picked up 6 good sized bream, and a couple of flathead, but only on the incoming tide when the water was little cleaner.

However, if your into mud crabs - i left 4 pots in overnight - 2 up the coomera river, and 2 in the canals in surfers - just near the casino. Got a really good feed of keepers - dont think they care about the muddy water
