FISHING REPORT – 17-12-2015
BASS

YELLOWBELLY AND
COD.
Cooby Dam has
produced a few fish on bait off the steeper banks, along the walking track.
Working the banks back out from the buoy line has been productive, trolling
hard bodies is the best option, however spinnerbaits and TD Woofers have picked
up a couple as well. At Boondooma, live shrimp are working well around the timber in the
Boyne and Stuart arms and trolling hard bodies in 30-40ft of water is producing
fish as well. Bjelke Peterson has seen some quality Yellowbelly taken on
trolled hard bodies in the deeper water, while casting spinnerbaits and lipless
crankbaits to the edges has also seen some decent fish caught. Good quality
Yellowbelly are taking darker coloured lures at Glenlyon this week, there have
also been quite a few Cod about, between 40 and 90cm, bait, bigger spinnerbaits
and hard bodies are all working well for these fish. Coolmunda is still
producing a few Yellowbelly, with some smaller Cod in amongst them, trolling
the old creek beds and around the timber has worked well, live crays and frozen
saltwater yabbies have both been successful for the bait anglers. Leslie Dam continues to fish well,
with good numbers of Yellowbelly taken on blades, TN60 Jackalls and live shrimp,
most of these fish have been found in 20 to 30ft of water and fishing in the
main basin has given the best results. As for the rivers, the Macintyre River
at Goondiwindi has produced a few Yellowbelly on spinnerbaits and bait, the
Dumeresq River at Texas is a bit dirty at the moment, there has only been a
couple of Cod caught on bigger spinnerbaits and locally, the Condamine River
has only produced small numbers of Yellowbelly on bait and purple coloured hard
bodies, due to the water still being a bit unsettled.
GOLD COAST
Offshore fishing
has seen plenty of Mackerel taking unweighted pillies on the 24’s and 50’s, and
the 50’s has also produced good numbers of Dolphin Fish, while inshore
fishing has produced Flathead at Kalinga Bank, plenty of Jack’s around the
pylons and pontoons in the Nerang River and the entrance to the Seaway has
produced Mulloway and Trevelly, on the run in tide.
SUNSHINE COAST
Offshore
fishing has seen the inner reefs producing a mix of smaller reef fish and
school Mackerel, while the wider reefs are producing Spotty and Spanish
Mackerel along with a few Wahoo. Inshore fishing has seen Grunter Bream off the
Boardwalk at Caloundra, Whiting throughout the Maroochy River, some nice Jack’s
and Trevally throughout most of the estuaries and the Noosa River has seen good
numbers of Jack’s in the lower reaches of the river, quality Whiting on live
beach worms at the frying pan, good numbers of Big Eye Trevally and GT’s early
morning and evening in Woods Bay and the beaches have produced plenty of Whiting
on the last of the runout tide.
