Well, it’s that time of the year again – Christmas is almost here, and by now I’m sure Santa should have all his gifts wrapped ready for his annual trip around Australia. Unfortunately for the farmers there wasn’t anywhere near the rain that was forecast out of ex-tropical cyclone Owen, but on the plus side, none of the impoundments over-flowed …

THE BURNETT RIVER The Burnett River fished very well over the weekend with awesome reports of grunter, bream, flathead and whiting!  With the smaller tides this weekend it will pay to fish with very lightly-weighted baits and soft plastics.  With the very little run in the tide, making your bait or soft plastic look as natural as possible will be …

Finally, it’s great to see some cooler weather upon us in the Bundaberg area to cool things down a bit, making it more comfortable to spend some time on the water.

Well, another Melbourne Cup has been done and run for another year, and I hope everyone has recovered and is looking forward to wetting a line this weekend. For any big boats hoping to head offshore from the Bundaberg area this weekend, unfortunately at the moment, the weather isn’t looking too flash, so it’s looking like most of the action …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Looking at the forecast for the Bundaberg area for this weekend, things are looking pretty good!  The tides are looking pretty small so fishing the deep will be ON!  The red emperor have been on the chew over the last few weeks with quite a few people getting close to their bag limit every trip.  Big flesh baits …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Looking into the weekend’s forecast, things are looking pretty good but as always, keep an eye on up-to-date forecasts before heading out as our weather can change overnight.
