🎣❄️ Winter fishing is heating up!

https://sandgateguide.com.au/stories/winter-fishing-in-brisbane/

As the water cools in South East Queensland, bridges, jetties and night sessions are starting to fire — with Tailor, Jewfish (Mulloway) and big Dusky Flathead all on the bite.

Tailor are moving into the bay in good numbers around Redcliffe and Shorncliffe, while the “Silver Ghost” Jewfish are showing up around structure like Woody Point Jetty and Hornibrook Bridge. Add in solid flathead on the drop-offs, and it’s shaping up to be a great winter season.

For 55 years, the Keep Sandgate Beautiful Association (KSBA) has helped protect the places we love — from saving wetlands from development to shaping our foreshore and lagoons.

Now, they need the community’s help.
Without new volunteers to step into key committee roles, KSBA may be forced to close this year.

If you value our local parks, creeks and coastline, this is your chance to make a real difference.
