Yep, you will get all of that catch and more in those areas. Places like banana banks, pelican banks, potts point, coochie reef and sou west rocks at peel, also the sandbanks out form dunwich are all worth a look.
Dave
South West Rocks has been firing with mostly sweetlip, and all under size
Harry Atkinson is quiet, hit and miss with the odd squire. Seems to be a few school mackeral around, but they arent in bug schools and seem to be a couple here., one there.........
Just have to be prepared to move around and find them at the moment.

Plenty of 20cm model sweetie at potts point last saturday..!

And please watch the weather.
A 15 footer can get into strife in the bay very easily. Especially with these winds about.
The best of luck though

hmm i got a 15.8 footer so i should be ok
I use to have a 15 footer... and I don't think I would have felt a tab more comfortable in a 25 footer at times!Im fishing my 15ft Cruisecraft so i can go any where in the bay

Fished Potts Point last Sunday morning on the incoming tide. In three hours caught 25 squire (all undersize), one flathead 42cm, three small sharks to 60cm, a couple of rays and two grinners. Most fish were caught on whitebait, squid and fresh mullet.
We had a ball! Also had a couple of runs by big headshaking buggers (probably sharks) that broke us off!
We fished about 30 metres east of the red beacon in about 10m of water. There is a good hole there that I intend to fish for snapper and jew one night in the near future!
Head shaking buggers and Potts Pt..... sounds snapper-ish to me.
Those little squire may be a pain and steal ya baits...but gee some of them hit hard and fight like tigers
U guys are girls
Mortan Bay is nothing i have been there numeras times and never been worried try being over the bar then u can complain about the waves arround the story high mark.

The bay is a place where the weather shouldn't be taken too lightly!!!
well you just got your first bite, i realise that being a seasoned boater like yourself, that you dont scare easily,especially having been through bars one storey high ,and being in a 15 footer as well , there are plenty of people who have been killed , who weren,t worried about the bay, who weren,t girls just unaware of moreton bay being one of the most unpredictable areas of queensland. i dont class myself as a girl but the bay can still scare me with shitty weather that comes out of no-where.hubby
G'day
Jpart10...... Just a realy quick word of advice, Listenn to the knowledge and wisdom expressed on these boards about all facets of this recreation we share. The only person hwo is a fool is the one who had a chance to survive, but chose not too thorugh own admission. Otherwise, i'll look foorward about hearing your departure on the news
And when I do that, i'll find out where you were found, purely for the concentrated population of crabs
Dave
well i have done both, been through bars several times and in the bay even moe times, yes the bay can be quite a pushover at times, but believe me, ive been caught in there when the chop on top of the swell was a storey high
How many times u been in the bay mate?
before u start calling us girls, maybe u should considersome of us like to see the sun rising tomorrow and not from a hospital bed.
