Davo’s Tackleworld – Noosa

With the recent weather events it is quite obvious that offshore anglers have been a little challenged when it comes to getting outside. Most anglers have been getting out early to try to beat the southerly breeze that has been springing up mid-morning. Sunshine Reef has still been producing the odd spanish mackerel, and it has also been a great …

With near perfect weather over the last weekend many angler decided to make the run north and fish the reefs off Double Island, there were plenty of fish on offer including mackerel, long tail tuna, Mahi Mahi (Dolphin Fish), gold Spot Cod, moses perch, sweetlip, pearl perch and good sized venus tusk fish. The Hards and the Barwon banks also …

The great thing about this time of the year is we usually will see the best of both worlds, with the warmer currents will sticking around and keeping the pelagic bite hot. Tuna have been very active around the reefs in close to Noosa, they are schooled in large numbers around Jew Sholes, Halls Reef and Sunshine Reef,  a range …

With the Noosa River still a little dirty after the rains, most of the predatory fish have been taken on the incoming tide.  Good catches of trevally and tailor have been taken on small metal slugs on the incoming tide. The Dog beach and sand bags are still seeing plenty of good sized whiting both on baits and surface lures. …

With some bigger swells last weekend, crossing the Noosa Bar was not for the faint hearted, with a bit of good timing angler were able to get out between the larger sets. There were plenty of birds working in the bay with Mack tuna and long tails feeding on the bait for underneath. Some quality fish in good numbers were …

With a bit of weather headed our way and some significant falls in the Noosa River catchment areas we will see a real change in the river, Noosa River crabs are the first thing that springs to mind with good numbers of legal bucks taken, the deeper more saline area will be where most of the big bucks will be …

With a couple of great weather windows last week angler headed out to do battle with some monster mackerel, this is that great time of the year when we start to see the bigger mackerel turn up, trolled lures like the Halco Laser Pro’s, Samaki Pacemakers around has reef has raised some quality fish. Tuna schools have been just over …

The Noosa River was a hive of activity as the temperature sored over the weekend, this intern raised water temperatures quite significantly. The other factor that changed things in the river was some good falls of rain in the catchment areas, there wasn’t a great deal of runoff but enough to colour up the water a little on the run …

With the wind up over the last couple of weeks, the offshore scene has been a little quiet. For those who did make it outside, it has usually been a quick run to the closer reefs. Sunshine Reef, Jew Shoal and Halls Reef have all been popular with the early birds. Pelagics have been on the mind of most anglers …

With schools starting to break up for the year, we are seeing more and more activity on the Noosa River, and in turn seeing more great fish landed. The river seems to be full of quality flathead on the prowl, particularly in the lower reaches. Trolling bright pink minnows such as the Strada Dredge 70 has been a great way …
