Ive just spent 2 weeks at Loders Creek in Southport. Didnt think much of the small and shallow creek until i attacked it with my new kayak. After decking the kayak out with rod holders and bits n pieces, I headed out. With high tide around early morning and a slightly overcast day, the conditions couldnt be better. The mornings would start quite slow until the tide turned. Lots of bream (mostly undersized) were smashing my 3" watermelons along the rock walls and around the many weed beds. After about 10 oclock the bream went off the bite and i targeted flathead. They didnt muk around either and 3 flatties were landed in about 20 minutes. They were great fun on the light line and wouldnt stop slithering around the kayak.
I noticed that every day for 2 weeks there was not one other fisherman in sight . Perhaps thats why i was luky but nonetheless i recon this little creek is overlooked and is worth cheking out to those in the area.
Thanks Danda fishn man- I do live in the area- rolling distance home from the boat ramp but have never bothered to fish that creek... the mouth gets flushed pretty well but upstream it looks like a sewer! paranoia maybe but mate I'd fish for the sport not for a feed if you head too far up.
cheers morto
I also live in the local area and there was a sign on the old bridge recomending not to eat Crabs and Oysters from the creek because of polution so i certainly would not be eating the fish.
Once the new bridges are finished i think the sign will go back up as the water quality has not improved. Cheers Wayne.
