At this stage the weather forecast doesn’t look too bad for this weekend. The only problem is that the winds will be from the north, and they can sometimes be unpredictable. So, we will wait and see as the weekend gets closer. On the fresh water scene, the fishing comp held at Cania Dam last weekend was also a success …

The offshore fishing has been very limited because of the weather.  Try fishing the inshore reefs like the Cochrane Artificial early, where there’s been a few squire, sweetlip, grunter and school and spanish mackerel being boated when the weather allows. Keep in mind that the second Coral Reef Fin Fish closure will be in place next week from Monday, 9th …

On the fishing side of things, the Burnett is still alive with fish.  There have been good reports of three-tooth jew up to 50cm, big flathead, blue salmon and mangrove jack, and fingermark have also showed up during the week. For the guys keen to catch a few bass, Lake Gregory is fishing really well.  Most sessions have started with …

The Kolan River would probably be my pick for chasing a barra or mangrove jack this weekend.  Casting soft plastics and suspending hard body lures over rock bars and at any structure you find should trigger a strike. Once again, the small black marlin and sailfish have showed up in good numbers around the tip of Fraser Island.  We’ve heard …

This should be the perfect recipe to get the barra on the chew, as we’re predicting that there will be quite a few barra weighed in.  Most of the Tackle World Bundaberg team will be attending the weekend, so come up and say “G’day”. If you can’t make it up to Monduran this year there will be heaps of fishing …

We’ve heard of quite a few nice barramundi caught in both systems last weekend on soft plastics and suspending hard body lures.  There was also reports of heaps of estuary cod and flathead, which were a welcome bycatch. The Win Television Monduran Family Fishing Classic will be held on 17th and 18th of October this year.  This is always a …

With fresh southeasterly winds once again predicted for the Bundaberg area to spoil any offshore action this weekend, it looks like any fishing for the last weekend of the school holidays will be restricted to the Bundaberg rivers and impoundments. Baffle Creek has produced the goods this week.  As the daytime temperatures slowly increase we can expect species such as jacks …

With the weather forecast not looking great for this weekend with fresh south-easterlies predicted, fishing will be restricted to our local rivers and dams which are both producing some nice fish. Across the Waves fishing club had another successful outing last weekend. By all reports, the Burnett river still produced the goods with some nice bream, 3 tooth jew, blue …

Hope all the Dads have recovered from Father’s Day last Sunday and made the most of the magic weather we experienced around the Bundaberg area last weekend. The boats that did head offshore all reported catching a good feed of both pelagic and reef fish.  Good numbers of Spanish mackerel were caught out further offshore, as were heaps of school …

With the first signs of summer starting to show up, the warm northerly breezes are starting to lift the water temperatures around the Bundaberg area. The only downfall with the full moon will be the amount of run in the tide for the offshore anglers as there will be over three metres difference between high and low tides for the …
