    I was working over at Amity Point last week and got to do a bit of land based fishing off the Rock Wall there. Amity Point always produces a great variety of fish. One of the highlights this time was a yellow boxfish. It fought like a box. Fortunately there was more desirable species including quite a few legal squire, a few squid and a few Moses Perch. I managed some leatherjackets as well and I am sure if I used a hook smaller than a 3/0 there were more on offer. Some nice looking (but undersized) Maori Cod and Spangled Emperor were also caught and released.

    He is up on the Burrum River now, but still comes down each month for the club weigh-ins.

    Yes. It is called Logan City Fishing Club now and is on Facebook.

    I have given it a go. It all depends on the specifics of your application. It is not very abrasion resistant so you need to bear that in mind if fishing around structure.

    Land value was low because it was so remote.

    Cribb Island was reclaimed for the first airport expansion. It use to be an actual suburb with a school, shops, cafes and a post office.

    They would catch more if they didn't have to go to school.

    You definitely need to go fishing!!!!

    Happy to help. All good things take time.

    Cribb Island worms and mud worms are the same thing. Cribb Island use to be a popular spot to catch them - when Cribb Island existed......
  12. Daryl McPhee
    Yes. They are very good eating. They get to about 40 cm.

    The wrasse is a male crimson banded wrasse. The other one is a painted grinner.
  14. Daryl McPhee
    It's probably a black banded amberjack, but it is difficult to tell conclusively from the photo. You need to be able to see the fin rays clearly and the teeth.

    They are not an usual catch at a couple of spots in the Broadwater and around the western side of Straddie.

    @ellicat preserved worms are better than nothing for whiting. The link to preserving them looks okay but I personally wouldn't add the tuna oil unless you wanted to use them for bream.

    I generally prefer the outgoing tide in the lower reaches but I have caught fish on all tides.

    Hi Kat. Ellicat is on the money. Just have a look at Google Earth/Google Maps and any of the small parks can produce fish. The second one in the video is Southern Cross Reserves on Cronin Island which is one of the more consistent spots. I have even caught a juvenile cobia there. In the Broadwater - Shearwater Park and Anglers Esplanade along Runaway Bay and anywhere along Marine Pde produce fish. There are also plenty of fish still at Shorncliffe Pier on the northside of Brisbane - this was from last week and we did well there this Monday as well.

    We had another good trip landbased to the Nerang River. Yabbies and Cribb Island worms produced a good mixed bag of grunter bream, whiting to 38 cm, tarwhine and bream. All of the parks in the Nerang River and the Broadwater foreshore produce fish if you put in the effort and keep things simple.

    No upgrades, but more of the same.
  21. Daryl McPhee
    I am hoping for further upgrades tomorrow night.
  22. Daryl McPhee
    I did indeed enter it!
  23. Daryl McPhee
    Yes Hamish. You are pretty much on the money. Worms or yabbies, 6lb monofilament line, a sinker light enough to reach the fish and light slow taper rods.

    This is the time of the year that the sand and yellowfin whiting really start to kick into gear. There have been plenty of sand whiting in the Southport Broadwater for the landbased angler of late. There have been quite a few bream mixed in with them as well. These ones were from a couple of hours last night using surf worms for bait with the best fish of 36 cm. You don't need a boat to consistently get a feed of fish.

    Here are a couple of upgrades for the southside.
