Going to the Keppels next month, any comments on how the fishing has been?
Some people ask me how I can sit on a riverbank all day without catching a fish.......who are these people???
I'm sure someone will do a report from the Yeppoon Tight Lines fishing classic on either sunday or monday.
Fishing around the islands has been pretty good especially barcheek trout on all the main rocky areas weather side
the beaches are going off with big queenies trevally whiting bream flathead
if you have a decent boat then reds, nannies, trout and spanish are and will be in form
stacks of hardy heads and green back herring so take your cast net
and the arrival of a few victorian touroes has added a little eye candy to the mix

I also will be there next month, was originally going to go up to Lucinda and work the Island groups back, but due to the excessive amounts of cash needed to get my motor running properly I am very short of funds, so at this stage will just have to make do with the Keppel Island group, so hoping the fishing up there will be good at that time as well.
If not, then there are plenty of beaches to bum around on and make out like a tourist.
Thanks all, we will be in a half cab quinnie named sunfish2 (no relation to Sunfish organisation). If you see us give us a holler!!!

try the shallow reefs around pumpkin island if you get a chance. they always seem to produce a surprise catch, big GT's, Trout and jacks while trolling. watch the green zones though. good luck!
cheers for that
and that reminds me does QLD still do those big green zone fold up maps and if yes can I order one online or just pick one up somewhere? I have always been in someone else's boat and never need them before. I will check the navionics card and put in extra GPS marks of green zones before we go but its always good to have a bigger plan in front of you
cheers Murf
Should be able to get them at Tackle shops and Marina. I know you can in Gladstone.....You can download them from GBRMPA website but even blown up to A3 they require magnifying glasses.

Zoom in using the computer and it's quite clear.
There are farking liveys everywhere at the moment to. Slimeys yakka's everywhere. We did troll up some Mack's out at barren and child which is not far from Kepple either

Fishing can be defined as "A jerk on one end of the rod, waiting for a jerk on the other".
"Fishing was around along time before you darling"
All the servo's and tackle shops have them here

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
