Fishing Overview for Shorncliffe

Home to the iconic Shorncliffe Pier, this foreshore consistently turns up bream, whiting, and flathead over the sandflats, with tailor and trevally appearing on dawn and dusk tides; summer brings gar and squid under lights, and working the drop-offs and pylons on a making tide is a classic approach along this sheltered stretch near Sandgate.

Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:3 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

Full Moon is generally a productive time for fishing - especially night fishing. Bright nights mean that many predators feed more actively during the night. During full moon the gravitational pull is in line with the gravitational pull of the sun, affecting all wildlife and increasing feeding behaviour.
  • Distance to earth:
    369,775 km
    Proximity:
    84.3 %
We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

All times are displayed in the Australia/Brisbane timezone and are automatically adjusted to daylight savings. The current timezone offset is +10 hours. Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides. The center shows the current moon phase which is a Full Moon at 99% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a average day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -1 hour and -38 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Spring is in full swing around Shorncliffe, with warming water pushing bait across the Sandgate flats and along the Shorncliffe Pier. Expect hungry flathead ambushing edges on the run-out, while early-season whiting school over the banks on the flood. Dawn and dusk remain the best times, especially around the making tide and just after a light SE breeze settles the bay.

The pier lights are drawing squid and the odd trevally on the top of the tide; small jigs or tiny metals do the trick. In Cabbage Tree Creek’s mouth, live prawns or small hardbodies are finding bream, with occasional school tailor harassing bait on first light. Soft plastics (2.5–4") in natural hues hopped along drains are producing consistent flathead, while yabbies, worms, and peeled prawn tempt fussy whiting on the banks.

Focus on clearer water, gentle current, and shadow lines along the pier for more bites. Activity spikes around the new and full moon tide cycles.

Top tip: Mark a productive drain at low tide, then return on the first of the run-out and work your lure from the shallow lip into the deeper edge to intercept feeding flathead.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 4 wharf(s) in this area.

Patrick Wharf - 10.17337476569km , Ampol Wharf - 11.30044619002km , Lytton Jetty - 11.44918450741km , Pinkenba Wharf - 11.77155525069km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 9 beaches and bays in this area.

Nudgee Beach - 2.78642160835km , Bramble Bay - 4.72833938728km , Clontarf Beach - 7.41976285125km , Woody Point Beach - 7.74695892614km , Scotts Point Beach - 8.73558453222km , Margate Beach - 9.71079788962km , Suttons Beach - 10.6452902246km , Redcliffe Beach - 11.50842100328km , Queens Beach South - 12.11942685705km
