Beginner Advice Wanted – Fishing Brisbane Northside (Newstead to Brighton)

Hey everyone, my 12-year-old son and I have been getting into land-based fishing and would love some advice on where to go and what to use!

What we’ve tried so far:

• Catching tiny bream at Baxter’s Jetty on worms – fun, but we are talking tiny fish (<10cm).

• He loves catching herring on a bait jig, but I reckon that excitement will fade soon.

• Tried soft plastics (with scent) at Nudgee boat ramp this morning – no bites at all.

What we’d love advice on:

• Best land-based spots between Newstead and Brighton

• Recommended rigs, baits, and lures for this area.

• Best times and tides to fish in these locations.

Important note: Wading isn’t an option because the kid isn’t a fan.

Any tips would be hugely appreciated! Keen to learn and get my son onto some better fish. I've been watching YouTube and such but hoping for some local advice

Thanks!
