Gone Fishin'

28 August 2008

| Davo's

The Noosa North Shore stretch continues to fire with excellent gutters north of Teewah producing particularly well.

Keen beach fisherman Ian “Tinny” Treloar had an excellent session there last weekend after hearing about the schools of bait fish in the bay, suspecting there could be big fish on the prowl along the beach.

Tinny was rewarded with quality tailor and bream and an amazing 11.25kg cobia.

Fishing was also productive around the national park headland, with reported sightings of tailor schools off Granite Bay and whiting on the bite at Tea Tree Bay.

In the river, as the water finally starts to clear, flathead are active from the top of Lake Cooroibah to the river mouth.

Good-size bream are also on the bite at the river mouth and along the jetties on Gympie Terrace.

Whiting are dotted in the lower reaches and a number of anglers are working the waters at the river mouth for luderick.

Trevally are back in numbers around the rocks near The Sheraton, the back of The Sound and The Woods bays.

Mitch O’Brien boated a nice 53cm golden trevally along that stretch this week using a shallow-diving Rapala X-Rap lure.

Schools of chopper tailor have been spotted opposite Munna Point and there are mud crabs on the march and feeding in Weyba Creek and along the Tewantin Ski Run.

The top end of North Reef has been producing snapper and scarlet sea perch and, right on the reef, are amberjack, sweetlip, squire, pearl perch, moses perch and cobia to 20kg.

There are massive bait schools in the bay so it could be worth a try for tuna.
