Some good bass to be caught in virtually every river / creek in SEQ including Coomera.
Exploring is most of the fun, a fish is a bonus.

No I don't, but there's plenty of folks who have got the sweetwater stickers.

And unfortunately I wasn't at the weir last thursday, was busy at work. (wish I was fishing....) :)

Don't let that stop you tho, if you see the Sweetwater Saratoga or the Ausfish Sticker, don't hesitate to say G'day.

Cheers,

Sweetwater is just that mate, sweetwater, not rust water.....nah only kidding.

Sweetwater is a freshwater web pag mate, look at the top of the page, in blue, check out Fitzy's Webpage. That is sweetwater. www.sweetwaterfishing.com.au

Yes there are some good Bass there Paul. I used to go a lot further upstream by canoe. Some nice spots, similar to those in the You Tube link.
I always catch and release in the Coomera above the weir. I hope everybody else does the same.
For many years it has been very difficult for Bass to breed in the Coomera due to the weir and lack of flow. As you probably know Bass need to get down past the weir to breed. Lack of flow over the weir for many years has largely halted this breeding cycle.

You will have a lot of casts between fish sometimes, but it is a beautiful area.
