The pelagic action has continued this week, with plenty of little Black Marlin, Wahoo and Dolphinfish being hooked. Spanish Mackerel have made an appearance down at Palm Peach, Gravel Patch and Mermaid reef which is great news.
Big tides from the full moon this week combined with rain have seen the rivers flowing with dirty fresh water runoff. Getting the Crab pots in the water after the rain is normally the best time to chase a feed of Mud Crabs. Some good spots that produced a feed are the Coomera River either North or South Arms, Pimpama River, Jewel Creek, Wasp Creek, Brown Island, The Never Fail Islands, Jacobs Well, Kangaroo Island, Eden Island and Canaipa Passage. Sand Crabs have also been a prime target on the edges of the main channels around the Pin and Broadwater. Whole Mullet or fish frames will make great bait.
A good School Holiday option for the kids would be to target Bream, Whiting or Flathead which have been around in numbers lately. We have plenty of land based options to try locally around Coomera and on the Gold Coast. The park next to our shop on Shipper Drive, The Highway Bridge Platform on the Coomera River, Santa Barbara Park, Paradise Point, Jabiru Island, Biggera Waters, Labrador and Jacobs Well Foreshore beaches. From the boat try fishing the Sandbanks or structure in the Coomera River North Arm, The Never Fail Islands, Whalleys Gutter, Tiger Mullet Channel, Jacobs Well Shoals, Canaipa Passage, Short Island, Green Bank, Bedrooms, Paradise Point and Carters Bank. Try Prawns, Worms, White Pilchards, Mullet fillet or Yabbies will do the job.
Hope you all have a good weekend and get out for a fish, if you have any reports please let us know how you went.
