Also on the inner gneerings taking floated pillies and trolled small lures. Snapper, sweetlip and the odd coral trout on murphys with some guys reporting lots of bite offs fishing the bottom which could be big mackeral. Yellowfin tuna to 12kg between 5 to 9 mile off mooloolaba and around the blinker on trolled lures. cobia, red throat, parrot and mahi mahi out on the banks.

ESTUARY – Plenty of muddies throughout the rivers but better bucks coming from the upper creeks. trevally on the top of the tide between marrochy river mouth the the motorway bridge. flathead, school jew and jacks in the bli bli stretch, mouth of petrie and coolum creeks. jacks in the upper reaches of mooloolah river and flathead and bream around the mouth.

SOMERSET DAM – Well it is only good news from Somerset at the minute with most anglers getting amongst some quality fish in a number of areas around the dam. It has been quite common over the last few weeks for anglers to land up to and in excess of 50 fish. Guys trolling have been getting the big numbers with some big fish in amongst them however the lure casters have probably had the best of it as far as quality goes. If trolling is your go look for lures that will dive between 5 and 10m. Lures such as Blitz Bagas, Poltergeist and Viking lures have proven to be the most successful. Lures that dive deep but have a slim profile are increasing the catch rate also. Those of you that like to cast a few lures around then your selection should be based around plastics, suspending lures, ice jigs and ZX40’s. The fish are sitting suspended between 5 and 10m of water and occasionally deeper so plastics rigged on fairly light jig heads (1/6 or 1/8) will give you a good chance to work the lure through the different areas of the water column. Jigging ZX40’s will allow you to work the fish that are closer to the bottom and have accounted for some nice yellow belly also. The suspending lures like the Jackal Chubby’s and Berkley 3B Crankbaits are working really well on the fish sitting up against the steep rock walls in the timbered area of the dam. Now for locations. Pelican Point is red hot at the minute with big bags of fish being landed and some sessions have seen some blokes get 6 or 7 fish over the 50cm mark. I went up and got 40 bass with only a few being of any quality but I did get some really good yellow belly using ZX40’s and white core rippers rigged on 1/8 oz atomic jig heads. There are some nice schools all across Pelican Point so you shouldn’t have any drama finding fish. The northern end of bay thirteen has some patches of fish that are responding well to most offerings. The point off of Eagles nest also has some fish that have been active over the past week or so. If you have a go at any of these locations success is almost guaranteed.

BORUMBA DAM – Most of the action in this dam is centred around the junction of the 2 creeks and up in the very upper reaches of the creeks. Bass are being taken at the junction on ice jigs, spinnerbaits and blades but you will have to look hard to find good concentrations of fish. The quality is very hit and miss at the moment with anglers hitting a spot and getting some nice fish one day and then returning the next to only pull up smaller fish. The Toga are probably the best option at present as they are being seen lurking in the shallows quite often and are eager to take most offerings if presented in the right place at the right time.

CREEKS & RIVERS – From all reports the rivers and creeks around the sunshine coast have continue to fire. The Stanley River is producing some very nice yellow belly up to 55cm and the odd Cod is being put in the kayak/canoe. Spinner baits are the best option in these creeks as they will allow you to target the structure with less chance of snagging and increasing your chance of landing a fish. What is exciting is that as the weather becomes warmer and the bugs become more prevalent surface fishing becomes a more viable and often productive method of fishing. I often just walk the local creeks and rivers of the hinterland with surface lures and find that my success rate is quite high and the fishing is awesome fun.

Hope this helps,

Brendan

FRESHWATER REPORT 23-11-11

SOMERSET DAM – Somerset is still fishing quite well however the schools have begun to scatter and be less dense and on some days they can be hard to locate. The quantity of fish that are being caught has been diminished a little although the quality is still there. The main area to concentrate your efforts is around Pelican Point. The schools that are being found are in varying depths of water depending on the time of day. Generally what is happening is earlier in the morning the fish are heading into the shallows around 12ft or less and then heading to the deeper water as the sun gets higher during the day. What we are finding is that once you have located the fish it is important to back off them a little and punch out long casts past the fish and then work the lure back through them. This is a good technique also if the fish are scattered as you are able to cover a lot ground. Vary the speed of your retrieve and use hops and pauses as what works one day may not work the next. I find that a real slow retrieve close to the bottom is the most effective retrieve in most cases as Somerset Bass get hammered a fair bit and often need the lure in their face a little longer before they will strike.

BORUMBA DAM – There are some real positive signs from this dam at present with some schooling bass being located and some hungry Saratoga now beginning to really fire. The bass are being taken in the junction of the creeks amongst the sticks using spinnerbaits and ice jigs when the schools are found. If you can get your hands on Motty’s new Smak ice jigs then you will do well as the fish in the dam in this area are loving these lures at present. The “’Toga“ have been on the chew with the weather heating up and multiple catches are now becoming much more common. The area to target these great sport fish is up the Yabba Arm of the dam up the very back where it gets quite shallow. Cultiva Zip’n’Ziggies are proving lethal from early to late morning and later in the afternoon. During the day spinnerbaits are effective in purple, white and chartreuse colours.

LAKE MACDONALD – Lake MacDonald is still recording some solid catches with most anglers coming away with some fish in boat at days end. There is still a school of bass off the point of bass bay which are responding well to blades and plastics. The three ways and the bubble trail have seen some solid bass being landed with the odd Yellowbelly to 40cm here and there.

Hope this helps,

Brendan

FIN REMOVAL

admin — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:36:57 +0000

If you’ve been away fishing you might not have heard the good news: anglers no longer need to remove a pectoral fin from coral reef finfish. Here’s the official Fisheries statement:

—-
No more pectoral fin removal for recreational fishers
Recreational fishers will no longer be required to remove the pectoral fin from coral reef fin fish and Spanish mackerel following changes to Queensland fishing rules.
Fisheries Minister Craig Wallace said the requirement for recreational fishers to remove the pectoral fin was no longer considered necessary.
“We had the rule in place to help prevent illegal marketing of coral reef fin fish and Spanish mackerel,” Mr Wallace said.
“By requiring recreational fishers to remove the pectoral fin, we were seeking to identify people who were selling the whole fish without a commercial licence.
“Illegal or black marketing is a significant threat to the economic viability of the commercial fishing industry, and it is imperative we continue to target such activity.
“However, we found that the rule to remove the pectoral fin did not help prevent illegal marketing and by removing it we are reducing the regulatory burden on recreational fishers.
“The Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol has a number of ways for targeting illegal marketing including onsite inspections of seafood wholesalers.
“The public can also help by reporting suspected illegal fishing activities to the Fishwatch hotline on 1800 017 116.”
