Well, after a long wait we finally saw the first bigger rain event last Thursday night. With some parts of the state in full flood, Noosa certainly got a top up. This is great news because the baitfish and prawns will be pushed down, making finding fish a little easier. While the fresh is moving down river, you may need …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With big full moon morning tides this weekend, I would definitely be fishing the shallows in the mornings for coral trout and red throat emperor. Using pilchard as bait or jigging 5” soft plastics off the bottom is an effective way to get a good feed. Fingers crossed the weather will play the game. As always, check the …

Fisheries Queensland has installed new fish attracting devices off the Fraser Coast in a program to support sustainable fishing and local jobs. Member for Hervey Bay Adrian Tantari said the latest phase of the FADs program includes three new FADs to create new off-shore recreational fishing spots off the Fraser Coast. “Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast are already known …

With the recent winds and swell persisting, this is the time of year where land-based angling tends to favour most. The beauty of fishing around the Noosa region is the estuary has so many locations that work in a multitude of wind directions. We also have the freshwater dams, which allow anglers to find a secluded spot in a bay …

BUNDABERG INSHORE This weekend the wind looks as though it’s going to blow from mid-morning. We might get a chance to get out in the morning, but the window will not be open for long. There has been a lot of mackerel and tuna caught in close around the leads off Burnett Heads and the 2-Mile reef off Bargara – …

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good week. It’s been a bit hard with the wind and rain hanging around to get out much this week, but hopefully you managed to sneak out for a fish. As I am writing the report it looks as though we will see some heavy rainfall to finish off the working week, …

Offshore As we start the last month of spring, the last week of October provided some anglers with a shot at some impressive fish offshore. Those with larger boats have been getting some great fish as the lead up to the new moon proved successful. Out toward Double Island, reports of pearl perch, cobia, jewfish and extra-large nannygai have been …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore fishing for this weekend will have to be put on hold until Sunday due to the Coral Reef Fin Fish closure from November 2 to midnight November 6. The weather over the weekend is looking good for the bigger boats. We have had good reports of red emperor, coral trout, parrotfish and large sweet lip all …

Fingers crossed at the time of writing my report the forecast for the weekend was looking very favourable with …
