Hi,We are new too Caloundra and I have tried several times too send this message about help for going fishing in the passage,hope this one makes it !!
OK... Sherrill and I have brought a house at Golden Beach and we absoloutely love the place we have 2 boats a 5metre with 90 hp and a tinny with 15hp we have fished in the passage several times only too be rewarded with a few undersize bream which we returned too their habitat. I don,t know what the correct combination for success (fishing ) if somebody would give us some local knowledge and advice it would be greatly appreciated.When and where too go with what bait would be a good start...Look forward to your advice ...Regards..Dave

if fishing the passage in the smaller tinney pump some yabbies or by some worms and fish the banks south of bells creek on the rising tide with 6-8eb line size 4 whiting hook small swivel about 2 foot trace and a lightish number 4 sinker or smaller should be a few whiting and bream around up there now but in the shallow water not the deep water

Check out these posts its not the passage but it will get you started and help you learn. The passage I fell is one of those places you really need to have local knoweledge which I find is not shared all that much he he he cant blame them really however check out these posts on the Maroochy River and you might find you will be eating more often.
