Redcliffe fishing times — what works here

Redcliffe Peninsula juts into Moreton Bay north of Brisbane. The Redcliffe Jetty is a popular land-based fishing spot — snapper, trevally and bream are taken from the jetty on baited rigs, and Spanish mackerel and tailor run past in the warmer months. The beach and the rock walls at Scarborough produce whiting and flathead. Toorbul Boat Ramp, just north, gives access to the northern Moreton Bay flats.

Best tides for fishing Redcliffe

Tide stage is the most reliable predictor of the bite at Redcliffe. For most inshore species here (flathead, bream, whiting), the prime windows are:

• Last two hours of the run-out — bait funnels off the flats into the channels. This is the prime ambush window.
• First hour of the run-in — fish push up onto the banks behind the bait. Bream and whiting are active.
• Dawn on a falling tide — the overlap of low light and active tidal flow is the textbook best fishing window for most species.
