Fishing

Well, so far we have dodged any very bad weather, apart from a lot of wind and huge swell from the cyclone that slid past out at sea. Let’s hope any future intense systems follow the same route and leave us to have a nice spring for a change. Fishing throughout the Clarence Valley region during February was fairly good …

Welcome to the weekly Sunshine Coast fishing report. After perfect conditions recently, this weekend is looking just as good with minimal swell and light winds.  Offshore anglers have had great success over the past few days. Glenn from Deep End Fishing Charters at Mooloolaba reported lots of snapper, pearl perch, tuskfish and grass sweetlip being caught at Barwon Banks. Spotty …

Inshore/Offshore fishing Finally its open season on the spanish mackerel and the inshore weather should be good enough to get out over the weekend, key word SHOULD.  Remember to always check the latest weather forecast before heading out.  Now remember spanish mackerel currently have a bag limit of 3 per person and 6 per boat with 2 or more people …

Always a great weekend of fun, fishing and mixing with friends. Run by the Moura Fish Stocking Group that, with the support of district and community, holds …

As readers of my column would know, I am more often than not a saltwater angler. However, at the start of the new year I felt the need for a new challenge, as well as a change of location from my usual estuary, bay, beach and flats fishing exploits. Recently, I reflected on a great bait-fishing session for bass I’d …

Hi all, with the silly season and school holidays over on the coast, let’s hope the Noosa area slows down a bit. It was so crazy – for my family and I, we didn’t even think about going over to Teewah or up to Inskip Point for a swim and a day trip. So, what did we do to instead? …

I’m so glad we’re starting to see slightly cooler weather. Some of the days in summer were super humid and hot. I have to admit that, as I’m getting older, I do enjoy having the comfort of a bimini on the boat. The last trip I did with my daughter, we certainly needed it and then, on the next trip, …

Brad Smith has, as usual, been catching heaps of flathead, jewfish, trevally and more for clients on his lure-fishing charters on the Tweed River. Smithy has been an estuary fishing guide for over …
