Just as it looked like the Rivers, Broadwater and Jumpinpin had started to recover after the big low pressure system dumped a large amount of rain 2 weeks ago we received another 60+mm on Sunday adding more fresh water into local waters. Its great news for the Gold Coast in the coming months, you just had to look a bit …

Float lining with the smallest sinker possible using whole WA pilchards, Large Squid and live Yakka’s is the best method on the local 18, 24, 36 fathom reefs, I do recommend to keep a steady burly trail of WA pilchard cubes to keep the fish on the bite. Good sized Pearl Perch, Amber Jack and Yellow Tail Kingfish have been …

IT seems to be either drought or torrential rain on the Gold Coast, last weekend we saw the heavens open up with rain and wind dominating the forecast.

We are still experiencing some very unseasonably warm weather …

Customers have been finding some good early season bream around Short Island, Tiger Mullet Channel, Logan River, Jacobs Well, Tipplers Passage, The Coomera River, Paradise Point and the Gold Coast Seaway. Mullet fillet, white pilchards, fisho’s and yabbies are great bait. Reports of a few tailor and trevally showing this week throughout the system, we have plenty of herring schools …

Wind, wind and more wind on the Gold Coast this week, with offshore fishing off limits due to wind and swell anglers stuck to the local rivers out of the wind in the Broadwater and Jumpinpin to try their luck.
