Once again the weather forecast for the Bundaberg area for this weekend is looking fantastic.  We all can’t remember such a good run of weather around the local area in ages.  Most of the boats took advantage of the flat conditions last weekend and fished around the islands off Bundaberg and 1770.  By all reports most boats managed to capture …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore forecast for the Bundaberg area could go either way this weekend, so keep an eye on it and check the latest updates before heading out.  The new moon was earlier this week and we are on the building moon so the fishing should be pretty hot out there.  Targeting red emperor and coral trout in the …

How good is it to live in this part of Australia at this time of the year?  I’m sure everyone enjoyed their Australia Day celebrations, and it was great to see so many anglers around the Bundaberg area out wetting a line last weekend.
