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.

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.

Well, it finally looks like the weather is about to play ball. We have some great conditions, with light swell and light wind – great for the anglers looking for mackerel. The full moon spring tides have brought in the baitfish and the pelagics are not far behind with longtail tuna and bonito invading Laguna Bay already. Most anglers have …

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.
