Yeah, the ones I got today weren't quite that big, in fact I would have taken a pic of them but didn't have my macro lense with me :)
I thought it would be more appropriate here.
Drive down Hastings street into the Noosa woods, at the third car park on the left (I think it's the third could be second) there is a toilet block, turn left into the car park and walk through to the Water, bait up (fresh shrimp the bomb)
Bream whiting Trevally tailor flathead plenty to choose from.
Thanks Mego, will give it a go tomorrow.

Once your there, a little further left you'll see a little bay with a small mangrove in the water at the edge.
This little bay is a little deeper, just walk up to the tree is see where the water drops off, I've had success on flatties using a soft plastic shrimp imitation.
The lure is made by Zerek Innovations, probably the one lure pattern I've had good success with using soft plastics.
This is what the packaging looks like.

This is the colour selection.

Here's some photos of what I've got in this first spot. Attachment 30287
This is the same spot but on the boat but casting where I would if I was on the bank. Attachment 30288
My sister in law also caught a mangrove jack from here as well.

Thanks Mego, some great info there mate.
LOL I was just thinking what an "average" looking girl your sis in law is until I read the disclaimer :)
Going through my gear tonight I realise that I'm going to need a couple of new outfits, as most of the stuff I have is either deep sea bottom bouncing, game fishing or heavyish Barra gear (20 & 50lb baitcasters) with a couple of very light bream sticks. Will have to venture into Davo's and see what I can find :)
Gotta love having choices :)
Time to head to the water!

Found the spot, I think, the beach area that eventually ends at the rocks leading to the car park. Dead low tide at 6am so pretty quiet, but it gave me a chance to check out the holes and ledges that should be firing with a bit more water over them.
Beautiful morning, wind is up now so might check it out this arvo if the wind settles down a bit.

Going out to flick some soft plastics around for some flatties in shallow water off Werribee.
Good luck mate!

Biggest flattie was 51cm.
My mate went out a couple hours earlier and he got 23 flatties and 12 squid. Thus the reason to go try.
Good afternoon session mate :)

Had another couple hours on the water this afternoon.
Biggest 49 cm. Attachment 30653
Nice one mate!
Flatties still not playing nice here, can get all the bream I want but the boss doesn't like bream!!
Can't wait for the bloody house to sell so I can get the boat.

I agree, they are a very sweet tasting fish, but flatties are her favourite so I'll just keep trying.
Was messing about yesterday with the new rig, getting a feel for it and tossing one of those prawn plastics around. Been at it for about an hour without a touch when a couple of blokes (poms) rocked up and proceeded to chuck a silver spinner with a treble on it around. Four casts later he's hooked up and drags the fish into shore, both of them standing there looking perplexed. They called me over and asked what type of fish it was......bloody 50cm flattie! They didn't have cooking facilities so gave the fish to me :)

60kg ice 15kg bait , big day ahead hopefully !!!!
Steve
What a day , going across the bay big pea soup fog , bugger all vis and clowns still flying along , not smart when you can't see lights on boats at less than 50m , the bar was the same so we waited till we had some vision before crossing , idiots still going through tho , the it will be alright I' ll follow my GPS marks , bars move and no fish worth getting in the poo over ,
Any way on to the fishing ended up with about 80 to 90kg snapper , sharks were a handful probably cost 10 or so fish , the fish pretty much chewed all day so a bit sore today , skull dragging from 90m of water to bet the sharks takes it out of ya ,
