Fishing Report

Hello anglers,

Fishing from our surrounds has been good. Great catches of Flathead and Tailor have been recorded.

The Bongaree Jetty has had catches of School Mackerel, good size Jew fish, Bream and Grassy Sweetlips. New Fishing Rules for Spanish mackerel fishery, commencing

1st July 2023.

• Changing the recreational in-possession limit to one fish per person, or two fish per boat with two or more recreational fishers on board from 1 July 2023. (The boat limit does not apply to licensed charter fishing trips.) • Removing the extended charter trip limit from 1 July 2023, which currently allows recreational fishers to take twice the in-possession limit for charter trips longer than 48 hours. • Developing a new smartphone app for recreational fishers to voluntarily report their Spanish mackerel catches on the east coast and shark depredation; and • Introducing a new education and awareness program promoting best practice catch, release and handling techniques for recreational fishers. Flathead from the Bribie Bridge are on fire, Jason Barnes (see pics RHS) is Bribie’s plastic man; his catches are legendary. I hope families that come to Bribie for holidays have a wonderful time, I saw a lot of them Friday and Saturday, thanks for your patronage.

Tight lines and screaming reels, till next time.
