On the goldie drive out to the spit and in the bay where the boat ramp is just to over to the right is a good spot and so is right around the left side. Thats assuming you dont have a boat.

Any of the sandbanks in the Broadwater from Southport to Runaway Bay have yabbies.

At low tide (and it needs to be low tide to pump them) you will probably see others pumpiung them or certainly where they have been.

Plenty of yabby banks in the Bribie Passage for boaties and the land-based. If you have a boat then there are very good yabbies on the banks at Shag Island which is opposite Whitepatch, about half a kilometre upstream from the mouth of Ningi Creek. If you launch at Spinnaker Sound run up the passage and take the channel on the right hand side of the island. The best yabbies are in the first hundred metres of the sand banks just after you pass the end of the mangroves on the island. Good sized yabbies and a nice sand/mud mixture that makes for easy pumping. I've found that the further up the passage or creeks you go that the banks get muddier and more difficult to pump (for an oldie like me anyway)
