FISHING, BOATING AND ADVENTURES
but it’s enough to slow the fish down. Bream, for instance, tend to be less keen when there is a quick drop in water temperature. The fishing reports we have date from before this last lot of rain, so it will be difficult to give any useful advice for the next couple of weeks of fishing. But here goes: Starting with bream – there have been plenty of bream caught, lots of undersized but good keepers among them. James and Keren were out of the wind, up at Donnybrook boat ramp, and used chicken fillet to take home seven bream.

FISHING REPORT, MAY 2022, La Nina weather conditions are continuing to play havoc with boating and fishing around Bribie Island and SE Queensland. We were warned, of course, that it would continue into late Autumn; but the weather over the past couple of weeks has been very un-Maylike! Hopefully, by the time this report goes out, the wind and rain will have
settled, but they have already left their mark. The water clarity of the Pumicestone Passage had gradually improved over the weeks since the February “rainbomb”, but it’s a dull, muddy brown again and will take a while to clear. The water temperature has dropped by at least .5 of a degree in the past few days. That doesn’t sound like much
Pillies worked for Nick, at Gallagher’s Point, as they did at the bridge for Jonah. He fished through the low tide, just south of the seventh pylon out from the mainland and took home a good feed. Annie and crew had five big bream after an afternoon near the oyster beds at the second green marker in Ningi Creek. The best bait for them was squid.
