I fished the GC for 10 years - both boat & landbased. If you're without a boat, I'd suggest just bringing a light flick stick - work the public canals.

GC Seaway has its days - school trevs, tarpon, tailor, bream, flathead, mullas etc. Southport jetty (not sure if access is still allowed) - good for tailor, dart, bream.

Beach fishing is always worth a shot too (clean surf beaches over that way) - tailor, soapies, dart, bream, whiting

If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

I'm based in brissy/GC, drop me a line and I can possibly take you somewhere, been a while since I have line fished though. Even a boat outing might be a go.

I have only fished flatties over here, I think the tweed fishes well for monster flatties and have also doen well in some sunny coast rivers. Never fished the seaway cos there are macks and wahoo a plenty not far from there ;) 0405 127 030
