Hi everyone, Danny and Michelle from Island Fishing Supplies, Banksia Beach and now Bellara!
WOORIM BEACH
Tailor off the beach on pilchards and metal slugs and hard body lures, Atomic Slim Twitcher 125mm being the pick of lures. Also, dart and bream around the camping area on preserved beach worms.
Dart
SANDSTONE POINT
Flathead on soft plastics on the runout tide near the old fish trap. There is also nice bream and tailor in the same area.
BANKSIA BEACH
Prior to the closure there was good snapper and jew caught on squid strips. Remember the closure is from July 15 to August 15.
Dennis caught this great Snapper.
WHITE PATCH
Nice flathead on the flats, schools of tailor as well in the main passage. Some really great bream caught on live yabbies on the incoming tide around the yabbie banks.
MISSION POINT
Reports of summer whiting turning up and flathead as well in the same areas, on the flats the main channel is producing good bream on flesh baits.
Whiting and Flathead.
FLOUNDER THE FLATEST OF FISH
Flounder is often overlooked as a target species. You regularly catch flatfish while targeting winter whiting out in the bay and passage. These masters of camouflage feed on all sorts of small creatures found mostly on the bottom. Anything from worms, small crabs, small fish and prawns.
Flounder caught at the Cockle Banks.
GEAR REQUIRED
Pretty much anything you would use for whiting. A Paternoster style rig or a running sinker above a swivel long trace to a long shank no 6 or 4 hook.
Six-pound line on a light 2-4kg rod and small 2500 spin reel.
LOCATION
I find I have more success drifting for these and usually where you find the winter whiting in the bay and the passage. The Cockle Banks in the bay is a great place to start, otherwise the passage from the Bribie bridge to White Patch is definitely another spot to try.
Dillon caught this Tiger Squid out in the bay.
Enjoy your fishing and remember to only catch what you need!
Danny and Michelle
