There has been a good mix of species caught from the Bayside foreshores over the past week including bream, whiting, flathead, squire and tailor.
Some of the better locations for tailor and bream have been the harbour and rock walls at Manly and Cleveland and for the whiting and flathead, the course sand along the Wynnum foreshores as well as Thomson Beach at Victoria Point.
The shallow foreshores in the three to five meter range have also produced a good feed for the small boat brigade.
Some of the more productive areas are the rubble bottom off Cleveland Point, the shallow ledges off Wynnum as well as the shallows of Peel, Mud and Green Island.
There were quite a few just legal squire caught off the eastern and north-eastern side of Coochiemudlo Island on the rock bottom in less than five meters of water.
The usual weekend wind made it difficult to explore much further a field however earlier in the week before the wind got up there were some good catches of squire and amberjack offshore at Deep Tempest in 80 ? 100mtrs range.
There are still a few schools of chopper tailor on the shallower grounds offshore, at times, making it almost impossible to get a bait past them to the bottom.
There are a few school jew being caught around the southern Bay islands, the mouth of the Logan and Kalinga Bank at the Pin.
Big prawns and live or fresh fillets of mullet have been the best baits and the better quality fish have come from the deeper holes during the turn of the tide.
There are also some good whiting being caught in the Logan River on the edge of sand banks at Aggeston Sands, just upriver from the Carbrook ramp at the Elbow and on the bank at the junction of the Albert and Logan Rivers.
For the sports fisherman, there have been some good size tarpon caught in and around the Seaway north wall on fly over the past few weeks.
Dusk through to early evening has been the peak period, there are also a few chopper tailor, dart, and trevally caught by those chasing them.
The popular Kirkleagh Klassic is on this weekend at Somerset Dam, there is a great range of prizes and entertainment for competitors in this family oriented lucky draw competition.

Gidday Nugget, #you mentioned in your report about a rubble sea bed off Cleveland point....what should i be looking for on the sounder to pick this up? #My sounder is a eagle magna 3...is this sounder capable of finding this structure?
My target fish is the squire or snapper.would this be a good area to catch this species? #Look forward to your reply.
Cheers # Grinner :)

Hi
You should see uneven bottom - imagine a field of broken rocks (very sparsely spread) and how that would look.
Anywhere between the last leed light (the one that flashes) and the Point - in about 12 - 20ft of water.
Hope that helps
