gold coast broadwater bream where?

[warrior]

heading down the coast next weekend for a fish only fished the broadwater once and need some help with areas for bream and what they will eat as far as lures go,got all sorts of soft plastics and hard bodies to throw at them but where to start is the prob.and what ones to use.

Warrior, I've heard a couple of recent reports of bream being caught around Wavebreak Island. I can't vouch for these, as I have not fished there lately, but I have done OK in this area in the past.

There is a deep hole just off the rocks on the SE corner of the island which holds bream at times, and anywhere along the north wall is also worth a try at this time of year.

Near the green beacons just south of the island is an area known as "the logs". There are/were some fairly large pieces of timber which were in fairly shallow water outside the main channel, and could be seen at low tide, but they fished well on a rising tide at night, or before dawn. I'm not sure if they are still above the sand or have been covered up, but if they are still there, they would be worth trying.

On a weekend I would expect that all of the above spots will have boats on them, so if there are boats parked west of the green beacons, it's likely that they are fishing there for bream.

Can't help with SP's or lures, I only ever fished there with baits.

Cheers, Deegee.

any gulp always goes down well... though in my opinion thats bait fishing

extra scent powerbaits are the softest plastics i beleive and are fantastic on bream everywhere i go

Another great place to fish is near the pipline on the south of straddie. make sure you fish on the incoming tide.

as a hint, fish incoming tide on the north wall of wavebreak island,

another good spot is opposite the boat ramp next to seaworld. i think ti middle green marker, produces good bream at night .

[brooksey]

any where in the GC canal's can produce some monster bream at times,

down near broadbeach is holding some big bream at the moment

Me and a mate fished all the boats moored at the pontoons.

Head south from seaworld and where there is heaps of boats at the bend...theres some sort of sailing club on the corner.....SE corner anyway.

We fished with poppers and got 15 good bream....only prob. you must fish early, once all the toffs get to there boats about 10am, they start telling you all about how important they are and how they have more right to be on the water than you. D***heads Hope this helps, Sean

[wayneoro]

it will be tough with all those boats disturbing the bottom bream are a shy fish the broadwater is a waste of time go up the canals dawn incoming tide or at night in hole front of seaworld wharf

Fished the Nerang yesterday with plastics for 30 plus legal bream to 33cm fork length, didn't catch many unders, about a dozen all up. Most of the legals averaged 27-29 to the fork. our best 5 ranged from 30 -33cm to the fork. All caught on gulps in various styles with no standouts. Fished both canals and main river. Hope this helps.
Cheers Ian
PS found that the boat trafic on the main river did not affect the fishing.

northern tip of crab island is fishing good in the shallows drifting over weedbeds.
