Local Reports

With the water in the river dirtying up again after the rain, trevally have been feeding closer to the river mouth. Surface lures like the Davo’s River Popper and the Cultiva Go-Bo popper have been the most successful catching a good majority of the fish. Early morning and late afternoon being the best time to fish this area. Queenfish and …

HOW things have changed over the last week after that atrocious weather earlier in the month. In the Noosa River, trevally have been in big numbers and seem to be traveling in small schools with dawn and sunset the prime attack times. In Woods Bays surface presentations have been the most exciting and effective ways to target these fish. The …

Float lining with the smallest sinker possible using whole WA pilchards, Large Squid and live Yakka’s is the best method on the local 18, 24, 36 fathom reefs, I do recommend to keep a steady burly trail of WA pilchard cubes to keep the fish on the bite. Good sized Pearl Perch, Amber Jack and Yellow Tail Kingfish have been …

It was great to see the quality of whiting and we’ve had good reports of big summer whiting on the sand flats up towards Splitters Creek. Another species that has fired up this week has to be the blue salmon.  Fish up to 90cm have taken a liking to heavy Pulse soft vibes.  These lures are 115mm in length and …

Let’s hope it stays dry for the start of the crushing which is due to kick off in the next few …

IT seems to be either drought or torrential rain on the Gold Coast, last weekend we saw the heavens open up with rain and wind dominating the forecast. There are some benefits to so much rain, it gets the mud crabs on the move, gives the rivers a good flush and pushes the bait into the main systems. From Sunday …

It’s great to be back after a good break, I defiantly made the most of the nice weather we’ve had the past couple of weeks. It looks like we are in for some wind and much needed rain on the Gold Coast from Friday until mid-next week. As we make the transition into winter the offshore bottom fishing has started …

Well, it looks like the weatherman is predicting a wet weekend around the Bundaberg area, with different models forecasting up to 30mm.  Hopefully this rain event comes off, helps the local farmers and tops up a few rainwater tanks. For anglers who don’t mind getting a little damp, the winds are predicted to drop out, with Sunday being the better …
