Another good launching point in that area is Pt Cartright near Mooloolaba. You can launch in the river at Pt Cartright (there's a boat ramp) or in the very sheltered water at the spit at Mooloolaba and then head out around the Point - this removes the beach launch/landings and still gets you out fishing a headland.
Any large trolling lure should work - Rapala CD9, X-Rap magnums (may struggle to get these beasts up to speed), i'm going to try a lively lures 7" Mack Bait over the holidays, you could pick some of those up locally as I believe they are made in Caloundra. I'd have one rod loaded with a lure of this type and a smaller spin outfit loaded with a small metal slice for the schools of tuna that can be found at that time of the year.
