Local Reports

Hi there anglers, So far so good with the weather outlook but remember to see the most up to date reports on our Facebook page and pay close attention to the weather predictions from the BOM. With the current outlook looking around 10 knots with swell decreasing from 1.5m I would most definitely be looking at gearing up for the …

Well, the weeks have flown by and Christmas Day will be here before we know it.  I hope all the children on school holidays have been good, and maybe Santa will leave some new fishing gear under the tree for them this year. The fishing around the Bundaberg area has still been great.  The offshore grounds have been fishing well when …

The Frying Pan has been loaded with whiting over the last week, worm’s yabbies and solider crabs have been the go too baits, for the lure angler that love working the surface the Bassday Sugapens in the 70mm and the Zip Bait skinny pops have been working particularly well. Mangrove jack are in big numbers at the moment, and the good …

Just keep any eye out for those large banana prawns that seem to pop up around either of the moon phases.  Some really nice mud crabs are also just starting to move so dust off the pots and try to catch a fantastic feed for Christmas. Lake Gregpry has been on fire for bass.  Tackle World Bundaberg team member, Shane …

There has been the odd jew coming from the deeper stretches of the ski run on lures like the 20g Jackson pin tails. Good numbers of flathead on the outgoing tide from around the frying pan and in the woods bays. Gladiator prawns have been doing most of the damage as well as 140mm squidgy wriggler in clear gremlin colour …

The countdown is on with only two weeks left until Christmas and three weeks until 2016.   The past week has seen catches of bream, whiting and flathead throughout Tin Can Bay and the Great Sandy Straits with the sand flats around Poona and Tinnanbar providing a great option for land based anglers.   Mangrove Jack, grunter, bream and cod …

Summer is here again.  With only a week left until school holidays officially kick off it’s a good time to start making plans.  The past week has seen a variety of different weather from stinking hot and muggy days to gale force winds to 50 knots.  That being said there has still been a few reports coming through before the …

With the promise of some good pelagic action, offshore anglers were out in force last weekend. Anglers were not disappointed with the Pelagics really starting to fire up. With plenty of bait in the water, Halls Reef, Jew Shoals and Sunshine Reef have all reported spotted and smaller spanish mackerel. Trolled lures, live baits, pilchard and yakka floaters have all …

Yikes, November is all but done and dusted and Christmas is only 4 weeks away!  For some this time of the year means spending time with family and friends but for others it is all about the fishing.  Water temps have reached the mid 20’s and the whiting and jacks have certainly come out to play with a regular stream …
