Fishing
Hotspots
Around the
Southern
Moreton Bay
Islands
Tucked between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the Southern Moreton Bay Islands (SMBI) are
a hidden treasure for anglers. With calm waters, mangrove-lined channels, and abundant
marine life, the islands—Russell, Macleay, Lamb, and Karragarra—offer some of Southeast
Queensland’s most rewarding fishing experiences.
Whether you're casting from the shore, launching a tinny, or drifting in a kayak, the SMBI
region delivers a diverse range of species and settings for every type of fisher.
Top Fishing Hotspots
1. Canaipa Passage (Russell Island)
Why it’s hot: This deep, fast-moving channel is a magnet for big fish.
Target species: Snapper, estuary cod, bream, flathead
Best method: Boat fishing with live bait or soft plastics during tide changes
2. Western Foreshore (Macleay Island)
Why it’s hot: Easy access and deep water close to shore make this a favourite for land-
based anglers.
Target species: Mangrove jack, trevally, whiting
Best method: Shore casting at dawn or dusk using prawns or pilchards
3. Perulpa Island Flats (off Macleay Island)
Why it’s hot: Shallow sand and weed beds attract flathead and whiting.

Best method: Drift fishing or wading with soft plastics and yabbies
4. Lamb Island Mangrove Edges
Why it’s hot: Quiet waters and natural cover make it ideal for stealthy fishing.

5. Karragarra Island Shallows

Best method: Light tackle with worms or yabbies from the beach or jetty
Tips for SMBI Fishing Success
Tide Timing: Fish the last hour of the run-in or first hour of the run-out tide for best
results.
Bait Matters: Live bait like yabbies, prawns, and mullet strips are highly effective.
Respect Zones: Some areas are marine parks or green zones—check local maps before
casting.
Crabbing Bonus: Mud crabs are plentiful in the mangroves—don’t forget your pots!
Access & Amenities

wonder more anglers are discovering this coastal paradise.

don’t forget your bait—and your sense of adventure.
