Local Reports

A RECENT Queensland Weekender episode ‘Broadwater fishing adventure’ featured our January cover image. On the cover of Bush ‘n Beach in January was Samantha O’Brien with a 40cm-plus whiting taken while filming the Queensland Weekender episode and fishing with Brett from Coomera Houseboat Holidays. Fishing the Pimpama River, it didn’t take long for local guru Brett to put the team onto the fish, with …

What a great Easter it was for Noosa. Not only did the little rabbit bring lots of sweet treats he also brought some outstanding weather. In the Noosa River, the bread and butter species like whiting and bream have been on most angler’s hit list, whiting have been targeted around the Frying Pan area, Dog Beach, Gympie Terrace and Weyba Creek …

Easter turned on some fantastic weather for us on the Gold Coast, it’s was great to see everyone out and about enjoying our awesome waterways. With Easter over and school holidays in full swing let’s have a look at what’s been happening this week. With School Holidays under way it’s a great time to get the kids out of the …

Some top flathead, whiting and trumpeter have been keeping everyone busy. Crabbing always seems to fire up over Easter every year and this year is no different with some top quality muddies caught. By the photos I have seen, it looks like the barra at Lake Monduran fired up over Easter. Early mornings and late afternoons have been prime times …

We’ve been blessed with some great weather this week on the Gold Coast, with Easter on the way the forecast is looking fantastic to get outdoors and enjoy the holidays.

Well it’s nearly that time of the year where the Easter Bunny will be out and about. This is also the start of two weeks of school holidays. This is always a magic time to get away either camping or just spending some quality time on the water with your family. Wasn’t it awesome to finally get some good weather …

Trolling hardbodies like the Samaki Pacemakers and trolling squid skirts has seen success. North Reef has been firing with a good mix of reef species as well pelagics that have all been feeding hard. In the Noosa River, bream and whiting have been on the chew in big numbers around the River Mouth, Dog Beach and Frying Pan areas.  Live …

Between wind and rain over the past few weeks there has been very little activity to report.  Upside is Saturday is looking to be a cracker with light winds forecast along with  the chance of a few showers. This is looking like the best window of opportunity we have had for a few weeks to get out and wet a …

We’ve had another mixed bag of weather on the Gold Coast this week, at bit of wind and rain at times but also some nice days in between making sneaking offshore for a look an option that paid off for some lucky customers. It’s been a while between trips offshore lately due to the mixed weather conditions, Thomas sent us a …

Not much has changed this week in the Kolan River.  Prawning and crabbing have both been productive with the odd nice flathead mangrove jack or barra hooked this past week. On the freshwater scene, I recently did a run over to Cania Dam near Monto.  This is one of my favourite little dams to chase Australian bass and saratoga.  Both …
