Maroochy river advice

[Little grey men]

G'day Ausfishers,

My olds will be making their annual two week trip to the coast from out west next week.
They'll be staying on the Maroochy river, fairly close to the mouth.
The old blokes keen to get in quite a bit of fishing, early morning, late afternoon.
Mum can only drag him around the shops for so long until he chucks a poopy.
He's all set with the good gear. 7ft graphite spin rod, 10ft surf rod, medium baitcaster. Tonnes of plastics and hard bod's.
Can anyone suggest any decent spots that will produce for him. He'll be landbased. I'll be joining him on the weekends and I know the basic layout of the river.
I'm not after your favourite secret spots...your second favourite will do fine;)
Any help would be great. I'm sure the old boy would love a bream or two for his breakfast.

ok if you want bream get ya old man and hit up cornmeal creek (the plaza) work close to the bank with ya hb or plastics and work the bank right up to the shops. i never do well at the mouth of the river unless im using live herring or mullet or silver biddys for the big flattys, there is flats there and you might be able to get a whitting or two there on poppers as i droped a big one there at the mouth 2 weeks ago. give chambers island ago as well, there is a nice channal on the northen side and you never no what you are going to get there and try around the bridge and the bridge on duporth av that leeds in to the cannals, you get lots of flattys and a few tailor and bream in there. the cod hole (the motorway bridge) can be good at times with every thing turning up there like trevs, bream, flattys, tarpon, tailor jew and lots of other cool critters, it a bit snagy so be carful. i will try and think of some more spots 4 ya and i will post them 4 ya when i can think of them.

Thanks for the info Nuggs, We actually fished that little creek running into the plaza on his last holiday. We pulled some seriously fat bream out of there.....they must live one a steady diet of Maccas fries and dohnuts. That channel sounds good, I know that little island.
