Davo’s Tackleworld – Noosa

What a change in the weather! From light winds, no swell and clear sunny days to big rain fall, increased swell and swollen rivers. Although this may sound bad the reality is it can be some of the best fishing, especially after a few days of calm. With the rains filling up the estuaries this sees the Noosa bar flush …

Well there had to be a break in the amazing conditions we all experienced last week. With the run up to Friday’s full moon the weather closed in and despite the rain it was a glass out day. A few anglers made the trip offshore to fish during the perfect overcast conditions. This time of year bigger fish will become …

These last few week’s we have really seen and felt a change in the season. We now have cold evening temps below 10 degrees and mid 20 degree daytime temps. This has seen the sea temps drop to low 20 degrees and with that the tuna have pretty much gone from the local waters. Big Spanish mackerel continue to patrol …

Finally the weather winter is known for showed up this weekend. With calmer seas, westerly winds and low 20 degree daytime temps this is fishing at its best! Offshore conditions allowed anglers to head both far and wide and with the tuna and mackerel still hanging around it was on for most. The tides were less strong during the day …

With winter now upon us we are starting to see the winds tending more westerly which as predicted has cleaned the water up offshore. Conditions have also calmed down and despite swell on the bar the offshore conditions have been quite pleasant especially during the week. For those heading out the species list has been varied especially after the full …

Well that’s the end of autumn and with May behind us let’s hope the next few months turn it on weather wise. There weren’t that many opportunities the last month for the offshore anglers. We had a few great weekends but the swell and persistent strong winds really prevailed. This really highlights the need to become adaptive and maybe try …

As expected the wonderful weather we had last week/weekend faded away to blustery mid-week conditions and a rising swell. Prior to this change the bite was definitely on, especially as we pushed toward the new moon. It was a little quiet post moon but anglers in the know reported good fish and a nice mixed bag. The ocean temps are …

This is the time of year that many of us live for as anglers. The heat of the summer has gone and we now have daytime temps in the mid 20’s. Despite the swell on the bar we have had some magic days and mother’s day was one of them. While many anglers were locked down it was a glass …

The first week of May surely gave the coast a mixed bag of weather. We had big rains and swell hitting the coast and even hail! This kept many anglers grounded for the week with the weekend giving way to some standout conditions and a swell that was more manageable on the coastal bars. Offshore May and June is the …

Well here we are, another month gone and we now find ourselves enjoying great potential if only the rain and winds would stop. May and June will see a period of time where the last of the summer pelagic fish are still about but will soon be off to warmer waters. The start of the winter fish will become apparent …
