Davo’s Tackleworld – Noosa

Wild winds and big fish – Well as the title suggests, it has certainly been a big week of weather yet again. It really is a case of having your gear ready to go at moment’s notice and being prepared and flexible to make sudden changes to plans once out. The biggest bit of advice is to have mobile phones with …

Well… as the title suggests Australia Day started off perfectly, but it soon turned to squalls and a lot more rain than predicted. Those who made it offshore were rewarded with a mixed bag of species from mackerel to cobia and some standout reef fish came off the bottom. North Reef has been fishing well following the extended break and …

While the wind persists and the swell continues to hit the bar, the offshore scene has experienced less traffic. Some boat owners braved the bar and took their time to make it safely across the set waves. A full moon mid-week meant conditions were tough, with a slow morning bite and winds picking up mid-morning, the opportunities were in short …

As predicted the swell continues to linger around and this week has seen a few boats cross the bar. Right now, this should only be done by experienced skippers in boats with plenty of horsepower hanging off the back. Sunshine Coast Noosa During the week, Sunshine was fished by the bigger charter boats and small cobia were still hanging around …

Rains hit the pause button – we have all seen some huge falls around the region, with some major and minor flooding across the region. As expected, the amount of freshwater coming down river has seen it turn a dark brown colour. With the levels rising in the Noosa River, we are all hoping it gets the much-needed flush we haven’t …

“Kicking off 2022” – Well, here we all are and welcome to 2022. We all hope you are safe and are looking forward to getting out there. Despite the bad offshore conditions, we still have many more options in the local area to choose from. The Noosa bar has been rough and with the winds only the larger charter boats …

So here we are, the last few weeks of 2021. What a year it has been for many and what a year it will be going forward. School holidays are about to kick off and for many they have already started. The good news there are other schools out and about in the form of mackerel! Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore …

Well, this week has certainly seen some wild weather. We have finally started to see some good rainfall across the region with local dams and lakes over 100 percent and spilling, or very close to it. We have been waiting for the rivers to flood again and, though murky, they are very much fishable. Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore Offshore has …

Well, what a week it’s been. More rainfall and the conditions are certainly only going to get better from a fishing point of view. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen steady rain, so hoping this keeps up and we can expect to see the Noosa River get a much-needed flush finally. Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore Offshore, the local …

It certainly feels like summer is just around the corner with temperatures beginning to hit over 30C. This really should start to see a big awakening of fish both offshore and in the rivers and dams. With more persistent west/northwest wind, the oceans will begin to clean up and bring the fish with it. Sunshine Coast Noosa Many anglers are …
