Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Tuna and Cobia are common in the waters off Mooloolaba. Light-tackle Marlin and Sailfish fishing is carried out year-round, but the peak season falls between September and April. Heavy-tackle Blue and Striped Marlin season occurs from February to May and is one of the most popular fishing seasons. Although crabbing is allowed, there is a breeding season from 20th of Dec to the 20th of Jan, during which time crabbing is illegal.
