Fishing information update from Tackle World Bundaberg

April 2, 2020

Brett Morgan with a cracker queenfish he caught on a recent trip.

Anna Turner with the nice mud crab she caught recently.

Regal Smart with the 28cm bream he caught at Baffle Creek recently.

Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 situation our Fishing Report for this week is based around information rather than what’s biting at the moment.

FISHING AND ESSENTIAL BOAT USE TO CONTINUE

Effective Tuesday 31 March 2020

Queenslanders can still take their boats out – but only if they are catching fish for their family to eat or “essential” travel.

Unfortunately, this means that recreational boating is off the agenda for everyone until further advised.

As boaties ourselves, we appreciate that this is hard to accept, but we also appreciate that unless we all do the responsible thing then we are potentially prolonging the duration of the restriction, not to mention putting ourselves and others at risk.

We urge you all to do the right thing with this fishing information; and stay safe.

Keep on casting, when COVID-19 is gone!
