hi all

i will be moveing to Queensland in June and was wondering if anyone knows much about morton bay and the fishing there,what fish one can find and the area.Do you cross a bar to go out to sea?

mate i just moved back from there and no you dont have to cross a bar there. i didnt do much fishing up there concentrated on the what you gotta watch out for is the sand flies.

Ha S£$%T that dont sound so good big flies no fish ???not too phased about a bar if the was one launch my boat in south Africa from the beach all the time in big surf ,so the bar should not be anything new.But concerned about the lack of fishing news,down that end of the world.

G'day Megabite,

Fishing in Moreton Bay is very good... I don't know it well but there are plenty of options. Reefs and islands where you'll get Flathead, Whiting, Bream, Snapper... pelagics in the outer bay including long tail tuna, mack tuna, mackerel... even big meter+ threadfin salmon in the lower brisbane river... mangrove jacks in the river itself... etc, etc. Plenty to keep you entertained.

Cheers, Slinky

dont worry Megabite, you will like it up there if you love fishin. As slinky said there is plenty of action There is morton island, stradbroke islands, jumping pin, gold coast, plenty of reef and wrecks I think you will be spoilt for choise. Only 1 hicup, everyone owns a boat and the ramps can be a nightmare on the weekends
