ONSHORE: The only reports from the coastal surf beaches were from the North Shore where quality dart were going for live beach worms about 6km's north of Teewah. Apart from that, chopper tailor were on the bite around Freshwater while a few bigger specimens were taken at night from the surf gutters between the First Cutting and the river mouth.

The wet, windy conditions were hardly inviting but it wasn't all bad news. There were enough clear spells and even a few blue sky breaks (well, at least for a few hours at a time) to entice the odd keen angler out onto the river to wet a line.
With still plenty of fresh water in the system and a dark murk pervading, most of the action was in the lower reaches.
The Woods Bays, of course, were still the best option with trevally and school jewfish quite active at times.
Chris Lacey from Davo's Compleat Angler (above) fished there on Friday afternoon and caught and released this school jewfish using a Savoy Shad lure as his draw card.
And Lucy Ward (below) was fishing there on Saturday morning with her father Ken when she caught and released the trevally she's posing with.
Interestingly enough, the Gympie Terrace stretch was quite productive with bream (to 30cm) on the bite near the 'Boathouse' and the jetties adjacent to the boat ramp. Further down, flathead (40cm-60cm) were responding well to live baits and white coloured soft plastics at the bottom of Gympie Terrace and around Munna Point. Blake Nowak ( above right) was fishing near the T-Boats jetty when his live herring bait was taken by the 50cm flathead he's pictured with.
The river mouth was another hot spot, producing whiting, bream and, on surface poppers, the odd tailor. The only report of mangrove jack activity was from the Noosa Waters canals.

On the freshwater scene, the Borumba Dam bass were going for shallow diving lures in the upper reaches of the Yabba Arm while saratoga (to 73cm) were responding to spinnerbaits and small diving lures in Borumba Creek.
