IN THE last column, I discussed the movements of yellowfin bream around Moreton Bay. In this edition, I’ll cover age and growth, reproductive biology and diet.

THIS is the first of a two-part column on yellowfin bream (Acanthopagrus australis). The yellowfin bream is one of the most important angling species in Moreton Bay and a popular angling target around Redcliffe, Deception Bay and Bribie Passage.

Catching surf worms is very much a part of many fishing families beach holidays and a key bait resource for many avid surf fishers. They are a favoured bait for many fish along beaches but particularly sand whiting. They are also sold as a frozen/cured product or live at several bait shops.

FREQUENTLY on social media, photos of a type of box jellyfish in Moreton Bay or offshore are posted and shared. The animal photographed is the Morbakka jellyfish.
