With the bureau of meteorology stating that this month could be a wild one, they were spot on. We have had a mixed bag of wild weather with huge hail stones, flash flooding and even a tornado! So, what has this done to the fishing? All of this weather lined up with the week leading to a full moon, so …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore fishing has been turning it on lately when the weather has been playing the game. The red emperor has definitely been the standout catch, fishing around the 40m mark has been the go to depth. Using bigger bait is definitely a good idea while targeting them, mullet fillets are one of my favourite bait. Don’t forget …

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it’s nice to see the storm activity and heavy rain finally give us a break on the Gold Coast and see a return to some sunshine making getting out and about much more pleasant. The wind has been a bit of a mixed bag of southerly and northerly and at …

As anglers many of us watch the moon and tides as well as the weather for the best times to go. After a moon phase we see the tides drop away only to start building a week later as the next moon phase begins again. These building tides can be a big trigger for fish to feed hard making now …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the threat of a thunderstorm most afternoons, it’s difficult to predict what the weather will do this weekend. With the full moon on Thursday night, the bigger tide should get the mud crabs moving and the fish on the chew in our rivers and creeks.

The lack of rains this time of year is seeing water temps rise and with it mackerel are showing up. Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore Offshore, North Reef, Sunshine Reef and even down the coast around Mooloolabah anglers are …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE We had many reports of good catches of red emperor, coral trout, and large nannygai over the past week. A well-presented bait like pilchards, squid and a good flesh bait will get these prize fish in the boat. Always check the weather forecast before heading out. BUNDABERG INSHORE For the smaller tinnies that want to get out and …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it’s was nice to see some good weather last Saturday giving everyone a good weather window to hit the water and have some fun on the Gold Coast.

With light wind predicted and a mid-week new moon, things certainly looked great for anglers both inshore and offshore.  Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore Offshore, the close reefs of Halls produced some solid sweetlip. These fish love a good downpour especially when the river …
