hey man yehh um when you go to nudgee beach i would say go in the arvo rather than the morning because ive been theyre a few times and ive caugh all my fish in the late afternoon. Everytime ive gone i have caught a deacent size flatty in the arvo soo yeh. just letting u know.

[Gerty_92]

ye man did u catch the flatties in the canal or the creek??

[Robbie]

ahh both but more in the creek.... the creek would be a better place to start the day but if not much luck give it a go at the canal.

[Angus]

Yeah go to the creek.

I have seen caught and caught myself Flatties, Flounder, Taylor and Cod.

All of these were caught on lures or plastics.

Try Prawn Stars, 3'' Powerbaits and small poppers.

Fish the gutter closer to the mouth at low tide. Or move u the creek a bit and you will find a wider place that holds more water. Try the snd here for flatties and the numerous snags for estaury cod. I have been smoked here once by what i thought was a Jack as well.

Good luck mate!!

Yeh I wouldn't bother using soft soft plastics(soft x2 on purpose). I would prefer the stiffer stronger plastic lures like hardbodys or prawnstars. The reason for this is because there are 1.3 million toadfish around there now. Angus nailed all the spots except one, just behind the canoe launch area. I personally havn't caught much there but lots of reports I have read there have been some decent fish from there.

Back when I used to live there in the good ol' days of bait fishing I caught 1 Estuary Cod per night if I took the time to go fishing at night time. I used to use either a Poddy Mullet on a wide gape hook or a whole ganged Squid. One good nights fishing produced 2 Est. Cod (One being my biggest at 65cms), 1 Flattie, 5 or so Bream and a few Winter and Summer Whiting. All on Prawns, Worms, Poddies and Squid.

I dropped what looked to be my biggest Cod on lures (Prawnstar) just 2 days ago. Mind you it was only 25 or so cms. It does have the potential to produce fish. Nudgee Beach is always out 1st choice for Winter time sharking. All my Winter sharks except the 4 footer at Newstead have been caught at Nudgee Beach off the jetty closest to the mouth of the canal.

With the creek that you guys are talking about, is that Nudgee Creek, the muddy, mangrove lined creek. Don't get me wrong, I've fished there and caught big flounder and flathead. But i was just wondering if that was the creek, do you fish off the rock wall, near the shop.

at the beach if u can get a spot to yourself then try pilles or metal lures and you will have a good chance of catching a few tailor but stingrays also like the pillies.
