A lot of pan-size flathead to around 50cm have been caught at Jumpinpin and the Broadwater, most small males looking for a female to follow around preparing for the spring breeding season.
There's still a lot of mulloway around in estuary waters, top spots have been deeper holes throughout Jumpinpin and the Broadwater and just inside bar entrances.
They've also been caught on the beaches. Best reports have come from the bottom end of North Stradbroke Island, Pottsville area and South Ballina Beach.
Bream continue in good numbers, with many spent and heading back up rivers and creeks, but there's still some quality around bar entrances and in the surf.
Finally there's a few tailor in the surf, caught on the Gold Coast beaches this week, but as always they can be a bit hit and miss.
Top spots include Phillip Park and the Pumping Jetty at the northern Gold Coast of an evening. Sometimes they turn up, sometimes they don't.
Squid too are on the menu.
The most consistent reports have come from jetties, marinas and wharves that are lit up in the evenings.
Best conditions are a slight westerly or no wind evenings.
There are a few quality summer whiting around, especially in the upper reaches of rivers and creeks.
You may not catch your bag limit of quality fish yet but you should catch a feed if you move around a bit.
In Moreton Bay snapper are still the target species although it has been hard to find a legal snapper in the shallows around the Bay islands this week.
The Harry Atkinson has been consistent as are the reefs off Scarborough.
Offshore fishing has produced consistent catches of snapper although not many over a few kilos.
Square Patch and Shallow Tempest have seen excellent numbers as has the Barwon Banks off the Sunshine Coast.
For those heading a little wider pearl perch have been consistent with most fish averaging a few kilos.
Live bait on reefs and wrecks has produced a lot of kingfish and the odd cobia and there are a few tuna around as well.
