Davo’s Tackleworld – Noosa

Spring has sprung fishing Well, that’s farewell to winter as we ticked over into September. The cold nights gave way to warmer day temperatures and a noticeable change, until the rains moved in for Friday and Saturday. Until that, the post-new moon provided hot fishing offshore for some and quiet for others. Out wide around North Reef and beyond, there …

New moon rising With the new moon on Saturday night, there was certainly something in the air. This time it was more for the surf anglers than those who ventured offshore. Offshore had some solid southeast swell rolling around, making things a bit rocky for those in smaller craft. Out wide, currents were against the wind, making sitting on anchor …

It’s on! As anglers, this is the type of weather we all get excited about, and for it to fall on the weekend is an added bonus. With light wind and clean swell, there was no reason to not get out there – unless you owned a small boat or are inexperienced at crossing the bar. The swell on the …

Not long to go – With another week of cool temperatures and sunny days, it’s been a case of watching the weather and timing your bar crossings for some great fishing. The swell has been present but holding around 1m. This has allowed most offshore anglers to have a crack. North Reef has been popular and for good reason. With …

With the miserable conditions we experienced last week, we saw only the larger boats or experienced skippers crossing the bar and fishing the local reefs. The swell and wind combined with a fading ground swell and run-out tides, slow and steady was the best approach. Noosa Fishing North Reef was popular for charters and they came home with a mixed …

New moon, high tide – Very rarely do we get a chance to enjoy big tides with light winds and a dropping swell. Mid-week and mid-week next week finally allowed those of us who head offshore a few days grace to experience some reef fishing. Noosa fishing Out wide North reef saw the cobia showing up along with some chunky …

The big wet – As forecast, the rains certainly hit us hard along the coast mid-week and Friday. This saw some localised flooding and yet more rain flooding the Noosa River. The swells were as predicted, and First Point had consistent 1m of swell reeling off down the point. The good news is the Noosa River channel will see yet …

Winter weather continues – With the coast certainly feeling the cold this week, the continual bout of westerly wind has been felt by all. During the week we had some rain, strong wind and a jump in swell. As if by magic, all that dropped out for the weekend. Noosa fishing Many anglers loaded up on the Saturday to go …

Last week – As we enter the final week of school holidays, it certainly turned on weather wise for those lucky enough to have a break. With the start of the holidays pouring with rain, we now have offshore wind, no swell and clear sunny days. This time of year is when fishing goes through a good phase and now …

Holidays kick off – Well, here we are with another month down as we push deeper into winter. The start of the school holidays was greeted with rain and despite the conditions, fishing has been great. Offshore has had a slight offshore wind and 1-1.2m swell running, especially over the weekend. In the rivers, the post-moon bite has seen many …
