Hey guys heading to the gold coast next month, want to be able to get in a fish whilst up there any idea on some good spots up there that could produce me some trevally ect and also some spots on where there could be some bigger stuff hanging around such as jews,pelagics and sharks

Seaway entry - big mullas, big eye trevs etc
Better from a boat than shore but still well worth hitting up, live bait really does well

Umpteen jetties, but the seaway is a prime spot
Some truly excellent charter operators at reasonable cost too

Snapperhunter: Yes your right morning and nights you will generlly see alot of tinnies anchored up all in a line, fishing the underwater pipeline!
Thats where the jews are. I cant comment landbased fishing, i have done a fair bit of fishing offshore though. Chasing Blue Marlin & kingies.... but those king marks/areas are a well kep secret.
I know in the river/estuary what ever you want to call it, if you want some good fun and drag being pulled, there are plenty of sharks./
a hard days fishing still beats work

Live baits are the key - good luck
I really enjoyed a week there, no big mullas but some nice fish and even got a 60cm snapper off the pipeline - a charter is really worth considering if finances allow

Would it be worth a charter out of there this time of year and also how does the swell go in terms of size there at the moment
