It is along piece of water and fishers for a lot of different fish and depending on what part you are in and what bait you use.
all the creeks and weed beds produce flathead on soft plastics a lot of whiting are caught on the shallow banks between toorbul and coochin creek look for about a foot of water near the tree,s or try any sand bank. you get small squire and tailor from now on near the 112 and gallaghers gutter between torbull and donnybrook and near bribie bridge, also during may the big brean normally come in try sitting up against the mangroves in lime pocket on the bribie side using mullet gut or similar . but be aware traveling at speed should only be done in the marked channels due to a lot of sand banks if you do not know the area

Just follow Robersl around in your boat and stay away from ningi creek, as nothing lives there.

One other point, even if you dont catch a feed, its a lovely part of the world to spend a day at.

G'day

Reeljammer....... if you're after books or maps your only real options would be beacon to beacon, hooked on paradise, some proper charts for the area or even google earth... but beware, google earth is usually a couple of years outdated.

You can get these from the good handleries and even the department stores would have beacon to beacon.

Reeljammer,
When I lived at Glasshouse I used to fish Roys road a lot.
Take Roys road off to the right heading north on the Bruce. Drive to the end, past all the fruit packing sheds.
Just to the left of the ramp on the bend below the house (you can't miss it), is a big deep hole where years ago, big boats used to come in and load up with citrus.

We've caught good fish in here mainly on a runin tide, Jacks,Flatties, Bream, Cod, Whiting etc.
I found that around Roys, the mouth of Coochin the W's, were pretty consistent for a feed. Great part of the world, not as busy as Bribie end.

Local knowledge goes a long way.

Cheers, Jeff

Strange, as I have heard this before about Ningi Creek. Not my experience at all, even though you do need to work hard to get a fish. Soft plastics and hard body lures have produced some results for me and my mate.

Ningi is heavily fished to start with, and appears to only produce in some consistent manner, if you want to work both strucuture, moon phase and tide.

Further to this, Ningi seems to have a bigger than fair share of pikkies, that love to shred your bait or lure. Love a dollar for every soft plastic that has had its tail nipped off in Ningi.

However, in the last two trips to Ningi (last one 01-Aug-2008), we got a few nice flatties (over 40cm), couple of nice 30+cm Bream and quite a few pikies. The pikies got us a couple of legal squire at the "Ripples" on our way home.

Looking forward this week to having a fish at Coochin Creek...got my first "mother" flattie there (83cm). While on the subject, have a look at the back of Bells Creek, big things there!

Cheers
