shore

Whether it be from a boat, bridge, jetty, or shore, the Moreton Bay Region has a great range of options for anglers, both experienced and novice, to try their luck. The adventurous can head out into the deep water where you can pull in cobia, marlin, billfish, and wahoo. In the calmer waters of the bay tailor, squid, snapper, and whiting can be lured to take the bait. The region’s three rivers — North Pine, South Pine, and Caboolture — can be fished from the banks or on the water. Leis Park at Petrie is a good launching spot for a day out on the North Pine River, which has three boat ramps. These rivers offer a variety of fish species, including bass, flathead, cod, bream, mud crabs and prawns, jewfish, mangrove jack, tailor, trevally, mullet, and whiting. Lake Samsonvale Also known as North Pine Dam, this lake offers a diverse experience for the keen angler along with a healthy fishery at Joyner. Lake Kurwongbah Shore-based fishing is permitted at Mick Hanfling Park and paddle craft anglers are allowed seven days a week in daylight hours.

trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/253066347 - Sydney Punch, 17th November, 1883... At Coogee. I stood on the rocks and I watched the waves rolling With mighty force in from the far reaching deep, And how my heart heaved as I saw them come bowling And dashing in spray clouds above each wild reef. See! now they're receding, repulsed for a moment, But only to gather fresh strength in their course, And ere I can fancy them gone, comes a torrent Of billows which bears all along with its force. Now I look at the wall of blue waves which come tearing Like cavalry horses in martial array, Their white crests, like plumes, all so gallantly wearing, Ere breaking their forms in light showers of salt spray. Oh ! grand are the anthems of music they're ringing, And wondrous the changes of feeling they wake, No minstrel that e'er charmed the ear with his singing, Sent such thrills thro' our hearts as those they can make. And I've seen them too when far out on the ocean, Their home, where nought else can their power contest, When even the Heavens seemed to join in their motion And flung me from one to the other's wild breast. Roll on, mighty monarchs ! o'er your wild dominions, Intruders can. but at your pleasure, remain Insulted, you have but to shake your wild pinions, And alone! you continue to rule over the main.
