With Moreton Bay
to the north and the Gold Coast Broadwater to the south, deep water
passages and channels wind their way past several islands eventually
linking the two waterways to form the Moreton Bay Marine Park.
Canaipa Passage is a pristine channel that runs along the western
side of North Stradbroke Island to the lower reaches of the
Jumpinpin Bar.
With myriad sand flats and deep holes throughout the expanse of
water, many different species of fish and crustaceans are to be
found in the area.
With strong tidal flows from both the bay and the bar, plenty of
food gets washed around, thus creating the start of the food chain.
Baitfish are prolific in Canaipa Passage and with them come the
larger predatory fish such as Flathead, Trevally, Mangrove Jack,
Moses Perch, Bream, and other delicacies of the ocean.
Mud Crabs can be potted along the many mangrove-lined banks that run
along the western side of the channel, and sand crabs can be caught
in dillies set throughout the shallow channel leading up to the sand
flats.
With islands lining the passage, plenty of protection is available
to yachties, anglers and campers coming here to enjoy what this
pristine waterway has to offer.
On the weekends, areas such as Slipping Sands come alive with
day-trippers taking the family across to the island for a picnic
lunch or to stay overnight. Armed with a piece of cardboard, the
steep sand hill of Slipping Sands creates a lot of fun for those who
dare to slide from top to bottom.
Situated on the western side of the Russell, Karragarra, Lamb,
Macleay and Coochiemudlo islands is another channel that allows
larger boats to safely navigate the waters leading into the western
side of Moreton Bay.
