Water temperatures are dropping and as a result we are seeing a few changes in the dominant species.
Mulloway numbers are increasing, some of the hot spots this week include the Brisbane River at Clara Rocks, Sunken Wall, Luggage Point and the shipping beacons.
There are also mulloway being caught in the Logan River at Marks Rocks, especially during the first hour of the run-out tide and inside the Pin Bar on the top of the tide.
The Seaway has also turned up a few keepers on the run-in tide; the best bait there has been live pike.
Whiting and flathead are still consistent provided you have bloodworms for whiting and small baitfish or strips of flesh for flathead and fish the deeper edges of sandbanks.
There have also been a few tailor working the bars and moving throughout the bay.
Surf beaches are also producing good catches of tailor from now on as the water temperature drops.
In Moreton Bay school mackerel were the main topic of discussion and surprisingly there were several reports of Spanish mackerel inside South Passage Bar.
Longtails and mac tuna were also hard to find, however there were a few reports of bigger mulloway on the eastern side of Mud Island and around Goat and Bird islands.
Smaller snapper to 45cm were a consistent catch for those bait fishing the bottom at Harry's, the spoil ground north east and at the Ammo barge.
There have been a few breaks in the weather allowing boats to get offshore over the past few weeks, although reports suggest the fishing was tough.
The most consistent area has been the 29 fathom reef east of Moreton where snapper to a few kilos, pearlies, trag and gold spot wrasse made up most of the fish in the box.
Trolling either lures or live baits landed Spanish mackerel in good numbers.
