Strong winds and rain put a damper on most water activities over the weekend but those that persisted and found a sheltered corner caught flathead, whiting, tailor, school jew and a few trevally.
The run in tide around the Pin bar produced the majority of chopper tailor and trevally, which suited those throwing small chrome slugs or waving a fly rod.
There were good numbers of summer whiting on Aggeston Sands in the Logan, around Flat Rock on the southern side of Russell and most banks throughout the Pin and Broadwater.
Flathead are concentrated around the Pin bar, Seaway and the mouth of the Logan.
The weed that has been a problem for the past few months has dropped off a fair bit, so trolling for them is now a good option.
The better quality lizards are taking live herring and whiting but a pillie will sometimes entice them.
This has been a good tailor season by all reports with excellent quality coming off the surf beaches and good numbers of choppers in the Bay.
Moreton Island has had the lion’s share of numbers over the past few weeks but there are still plenty to be caught on North Stradbroke towards the southern end.
There is still a few school jew being caught in the Logan especially up river past the Albert and Logan River junction.
Todd Everleigh caught two during the mid afternoon tide change on Saturday using live prawns and said the bigger the prawn, the more likely the jew were to take it.
On the freshwater agenda is the annual Kirkleagh Klassic held over the October 13 weekend at Kirkleagh, Somerset Dam.
This family fishing competition features cash and prizes for both heaviest fish categories and lucky draw prizes.
The major prize is a Clark aluminium boat package making up part of the 30,000 total prize pool.
Also on the fishing agenda only a few weeks away is the Brisbane Boat Show and Fishing Expo.
Bayside local Bill Corten has put together a great Fishing Expo including seminars and workshops by Queenslands best anglers.
