Scarborough (Turner) Artificial Reef is a shallow site 1.6km east of Redcliffe Peninsula’s Scarborough.

The reef area includes six clusters of 17 concrete modules.

The site is in just 6m of water, making it Moreton Bay’s shallowest artificial reef.

Because it is shallow and the water is often clear, the fish can be easily spooked.

This reef is best fished at night on big tides during the week, when boating traffic is less.

Turner Artificial Reef Fish Species

Like much of the shallow rocky reef off Redcliffe Peninsula, this reef produces pink snapper, bream, cod, flathead and squid, with school mackerel in season.

During daylight hours you must fish with fine tackle and fresh bait to catch fish.

South Stradbroke Artificial Reef is east of South Stradbroke Island, 3km north of the Gold Coast seaway.

The reef consists of four clusters of large concrete modules called “fish boxes” over a 208ha area, at an average depth of 22m.

This reef produces pelagic and reef fish, including large mackerel, cobia and mulloway, as well as snapper, flathead, cod and more.

South Stradbroke Artificial Reef Fish Species

Trevally, mackerel, kingfish and cobia are the main catch, but other species show up as the modules attract bait schools.

Snapper, cod and flathead are also caught around the structures, but most boaters chase bottom fish on the deeper natural reefs in the region.
