Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. The weather gods have finally smiled upon the Sunshine Coast, delivering some awesome weather over the Easter long weekend. Perfect conditions offshore have allowed many boaties to venture out after an extended spell of unfavorable weather. These good offshore conditions are expected to continue until mid-next week. We are however, expecting the …

As promised last month, we are looking into everything that happened back in early February at the Shimano King of Kings Capricorn competition. First, a big congratulations to all of the organisers, who put together an awesome event again. This year saw record-breaking numbers, with plenty of new teams registering to be part of the fun.

G’day crew, where is this year going? I hope you are all well and have been able to wet a line over the past few weeks in between the crazy heat and rainy days we’ve had. Despite the town seeming to be a little quiet recently, it was all systems go in the shop, even with the weather not really …

Hi everyone, sorry I missed an article last month. Right on crunch time, when it was due, I had my appendix removed. A very common procedure I know, yet it had me out of action for a couple of weeks, on doctor’s orders. I’m still on light duties, though the doc did say I could go fishing… if I had …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Unfortunately, we’ve had another week of heavy rainfall and windy conditions. The freshwater, combined with super high tides, has made our estuaries virtually unfishable again. Offshore has been a no go, and freshwater options are flooded. This week’s report therefore will be another short one. Hopefully the sunshine we are seeing poke …

Hi everyone, well we are coming towards the end of a hot, wet and windy summer, which is a relief! On the plus side, the fishing has been epic. I know I’ve been talking about sand whiting a lot lately but this month I will share again some tips for targeting these hard-fighting and delicious fish. Summer rainfall at the …

It’s getting close to that time of the year again, when we pack up the gear and head to the Dawson River at Moura. The weekend of April 13-14 is the Muddy Water Classic Fishing Competition – always a great weekend of fun, fishing and mixing with friends. Run by the Moura Fish Stocking Group Inc that, with the support …
