Freshwater Fishing Near Brisbane

[molo2]

Hey this question may have come up before into this forum but I live in the southside part of Brisbane and I was wondering if there are any good freshwater fishing spots like 2 hours away by car? and can fish off like jettys, banks, etc? I need to know soon so that I can organise what I'm going to do on my uni holidays. Thanks!

try fishing off the bank at lake samsonvale, i fish there reguarly and catch big silver perch and bass.
and while you are sitting there it pays to put a yabby trap in the water with some red meat beacause there is some massive red claw there.

mate, maroon dam is a great place to get too around one and a quarter hours drive fish early morning and late arvo with poppers around the edges near the boat ramp or just throw your baits out.we have had some great sessions on poppers with the bass,they take them with hard hits and good runs,fishing of the bank adds to the excitement.

hey brendon

go to forgan cove, and you will see a walking track that follows the lake around. just follow it around and it comes into a small creek/bay, and there is plenty of good spots to try around there. fish the deep drop offs and the weed edges that go into deep water. use live shrimp and i havent tried lures there but i reckon they could work very well in some areas.

hope this helps
