Land based, I can't walk far or over uneven terrain. Rock fishing was my favourite but I can't negotiate them anymore. Where's a place to go with a fair chance of catching something?
Fresh water is ok too.

Mosquitoes and Sand flies have the highest bite rate tbh.
Bribie island passage goes off occasionally Good snapper and Jew fish some nice flathead and bream too
I like the deep part at the south end but I can't stand for a long time in the knee deep water.
can u share some good rock fishing areas close to brisbane? i want to give it a go. , or i'll send you a DM and i can let u know some decent flat ground land based spots which have been fruitful
It depends on what tackle you have. For landbased i have used:
an ultralight setup (7’6” 1-3kg rod) to flick soft plastics and small minnows around the fringes of the bay For bream and flatties.
20lb live bait rods and a castnet for catching threadies in the city reach of the river.
20lb spin gear for chasing jew/threadies throwing shallow diving lures around city lights.
I've seen some pretty good bait bust ups where Brekky Ck enters the river at Newstead House. I didn't have the tackle for it.
Woody point jetty or Shorncliffe jetty up in Redcliffe will treat you well, you can get Livies there with a sabiki rig or use dead bait and still have success
I used to fish Woody Point all the time as a kid, never caught a thing.
