Not sure about good spots to head in the boat but if you use the Search engine and search for posts by Mullet Musketeer he has put plenty of repots up over the last couple of years where he has caught PLENTY of good sized flathead flicking soft plastics while walking the banks - think they were all within cooee of the bridge. Might give an idea of where, when, how, etc and you could then work out if you do it landbased or with the boat.

I might try and pick your brain soon too Kurt - hoping to go there in the next couple of weeks. Was tempted yesterday as weather was good but had 3 in my tinny (30hp) and a late start so decided it wasn't worth it for the short-ish time period. Are the schoolies around all year but just more of them in summer, or basically just over summer? And is there just one measured mile beacon or two? Good luck Chris, looking forward to the report.

Thanks everyone for their input/information. To me, the replies in this post remind me why this website is so great - people willing to give detailed information to help someone get to know/plan for an area they otherwise have no idea about. Of course, I still need to go out and catch them, but I feel like I've got a blueprint for success simply by asking the question. Will definitely be chasing a jack at night near the enclosure, will definitely have a crack at the whiting and am hopeful of some decent tailor (or even better a jew) off the rocks. Hopefully an interesting report will become of this. Thanks guys, much appreciated. Oh, and Ross, let me tell you if I am VERY, VERY tempted to take the tinny but have decided, with my 4 month old boy, that I'll do the family thing and go for quick sessions by foot early morning and hopefully late arvo (or otherwise during the day while mum and bub are having a nap). I'll just hope the macks aren't on the bite on the reef while I'm there!!!!!!!!

Thanks Marty. Got any tips for fishing Talley? Do they get decent whiting in there? I think I've heard/read in the past that good flathead are caught there and also jacks so should keep me busy.

Thanks Mark - just didn't want to take the pump if there weren't any around. Unfortunately not taking the tinny although was very tempting to get out and have a late crack at a mack at Palmie. Will be trying my luck off the rocks at Burleigh Heads - am assuming they normally wouldn't come in that close? Cheers.

Hi all, Just chasing some info on Tallebudgera & Currumbin Creek and nearby places - can anyone let me know where I can pump some yabbies. I'm staying near the mouth of Talledbudgera - are there any in there? Hoping to spin off the rocks in the morning and then fish for whiting, etc in the arvo each day. Cheers.
