Fishing near Brisbane, Queensland

Brisbane sits on the tidal Brisbane River in south-east Queensland, with Moreton Bay to the east and a network of creeks, impoundments and coastal waterways within easy reach. The city is a genuine year-round fishing destination — the river itself produces bream, flathead, mangrove jack and threadfin salmon from shore, jetty and kayak, while Moreton Bay opens up reef and bay fishing for snapper, pearl perch and trevally. Freshwater anglers work the South Pine, Bremer and Logan rivers for Australian bass, and stocked impoundments add another dimension to the local scene.
