Hi everybody i'm new to fishing and looking for new spots ..... i've tried peel island, tingalpa creek, Brisbane river, deep water bend and the spit. Can anyone please give me some ideas of locations and fishing rigs to use and the best bate too... would be very appreciated Thank you 
Hi Rochelle,
I'm right into fishing - mostly offshore action though.
Have been known to flick some lures around the bay & estuaries too.
If you've fished peel, I assume you've got a boat.
The spots you mentioned are popular locations, just a matter of good bait presentation & the right tide, not to mention persistance.
Target a species & go to the local tackle shop for info on bait, plastics, & gear.
Try Ausfish.com.au
Be warned - It's more addictive than the seabreeze forum.
Good Luck.
Thank you for replying yes my friend has a small tinny which we took to peel and fished for the last time on the now banned areas, thank you for the advice i really appreciate it
Personally I think ur wasting ur time fishing inside the Bay fullstop!! Even tho I live in WA now I spent 21 years growing up on the coast where ur fishing.
There were'nt even any decent fish there 5 years ago compared to 15 years back. My old man lives on Coochie and cant even get a crab these days.
ATM I would'nt eat anything out of the bay or ocean between the goldy or Caloundra with the oil slick and all.........
Good luck at the fish market 
oil slick? = 20km of black oil soaked beach and wildlife on Moreton plus Bribie and Sunshine coast. Add to that 31 shipping containers of chemicals floating and sinking just off the coast.....
I don't have too many troubles catching a feed. Burley definitely helps. When the burley brings in Grinners or pike, I put them out live.
That said, Green zones will change a lot!
I'll be releasing everything for a while.
Never could understand how peole eat fish caught from around the Pinkenba Poo Shute?
tried nudgee yesterday afternoon it was low tide but caught a few squid and some prawns ... got a few big bites but didn't actually catch any fish but it was fun anyway .... was just catching squid with cast net ... anyone know where i get some squid from?
. I've also never had a problem getting fish in the bay bagging out the majority of the time (not that I've really bothered with fishing much in the last few years), it certainly isn't as easy as when I was growing up though. That said I don't tend to go for reefies as much as I should.
I'm like u i don't eat fish either i just enjoy catching them and my friends eat them ... so they don't go to waste lol .... it's just some thing i got into one day when i was really bored and had nothing else to do lol
Hey i thought i'd ask again does anyone know where i can catch squid ... there's a pretty good school of them at Nudgee but only get to hand size want some thing bigger for bait and a feed.... please help me find some squid!! oh and caught a 30 center meter bream at deep water bend .... usually better from high tide to low tide anyone know anywhere else where the fish are bitting at the min?? Thanks heaps x
