Newstead Jetty

4.7/5 - (3 votes)
27°26'33.22" S, 153°2'50.93" E

Breakfast Creek meets the Brisbane River on a bend, creating a deep hole. Strong currents make lure fishing hard, but during the slack tides anglers have hooked Threadfin Salmon, Jewfish and the odd Mangrove Jack here. Live and dead baiting from the jetty at night is the go at this spot.
