Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

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.
Best Fishing Spots in the greater Shorncliffe area
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 - 10.15978946846km , Ampol Wharf - 11.19001023565km , Lytton Jetty - 11.32769202112km , Pinkenba Wharf - 11.57315226219km
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.
