Was wondering if anyone who fishes the waters of Moreton Bay could tell me the best place to catch a good variety of fish. Am looking for some places from Moreton Island as I will be taking a boat over on the 4wd this weekend. dont mind fishing on the inside or the outside of Moreton so would like some help.

My second queery is to do with Cooper S/T's. Does anyone know about the new Discoverer STC's the chip resistant variety rumourd to be coming out soon. My tyres are on the way out and will replace them when my wheels come in in a couple of weeks. (ROH Villains). Will the price be more for 305 70R 16's than the current ST's?

Charlie do you think that there are any fish left in the bay? I don't. With the Trawlers working the bejesus out of it.. result is not much left unfortunately. I am going over to Straddie on Monday for a week ( camping at the pin on main beach) so I will be doing my best to deplete the fish stocks, but I don't like my chances. If you happen to be there look for a Burgandy Jack. and have a beer.

Charlie I think nobby is right there isnt much left in the bay these days.
There is always a chance of a fish around, but a rarety to take a feed home. With winds due try the inside on the dropoff.
Fishing is why I go NQ each year.

Hi Charlie
We had a very windy w/end which forced us to the inside and we fished from the bank, without cacthing much i might add.
My mate got his surf rod and had a few long long long casts into deeper water with good results flat head bream and several small squire.
we found that 75 - 150 mts of the bank was it. ther were other boats farther out and they caugth nothing.
Hope you find a few
Cheers
Tony

Have you seen the whether forecast? Doesn't look good for this weekend. I was going to go fishing out of Gladstone this weekend, but have cancelled the trip due to 20 knot SEly'sor possibly more. So i don't think you will be going outside.

Good whiting spot is on the sand flats 200 -300m west of big sand dunes
south of the resort.

some good fishing spots, tie up to the channelmarkers and some times you can get some big kingys, dont botoom fish try different depths also have to work the tides as they flow pretty fast, also the noth eastern side of morto island due east from the light house there is quite a few bombys about 500 to a k out need a depth sounder and watch the weather, sometimes the bar n/w running nth of the island can be very treacheous. Dont fish flinders reef as i think its a marine park no fishing allowed. Col
