Local Reports

Hope all the school kids have enjoyed their second week of the school holidays. Luckily enough we had some great weather around the Bundaberg area last weekend, and at this stage it looks like this weekend will be another cracker. The Burnett River is still alive with bait fish and small prawns and that’s what seems to be attracting the …

Woods Bays have seen some great queenies over the weekend. Saturday was the better day producing good numbers of queenfish on surface lures like the Bassday Sugapen, Atomic K9 Walker and Strada Floats. Most fish ranging from 60-80cm, Sunday morning the fish were there but not feeding like the previous morning. Good numbers of big eye trevally and giant trevally …

Inshore Reefs have been firing after the recent rains as bait fish make their way out of the rivers to find more saline water. Sunshine Reef has been fishing well with good catches of sweetlip, snapper, some nice coral trout (even a nice coronation trout reported), tuskfish, and longtail tuna. Micro jigs have been accounting for a great mixed bag …

Hope everyone enjoyed the Easter break last weekend and the Easter Bunny was kind to the kids around the Bundaberg area. Other than the odd shower the weather was fairly good all through the weekend and by the sounds of things, lots of people went fishing and caught some nice fish. At this stage the weather looks okay for this …

Noosa is looking great for the Easter break and if the weather plays the game we should see some sensational catches. If this week is anything to go on the fishing will be exceptional both offshore and on. The reefs have been firing, with Sunshine Reef producing some fantastic Longtail tuna, yellowfin tuna, Spanish mackerel, squire, moses perch, coral trout, and …

With light winds expected, the weather forecast for the Bundaberg area looks okay for the start of the Easter holidays. Unfortunately there’s a good chance of light showers and thunderstorms most days. Early in the next week the bigger boats should get a chance to get out wide and chase some quality red emperor, pearl perch and cod. The islands …

With the warmer weather persisting the river is still producing some great fish, at the Dog Beach the whiting are still in good numbers, in fact a lot of the lower reaches of the river are producing some good whiting. With the average size of fish being around the 30cm mark, there are a few elbow slappers around that have …

Unfortunately the weather forecast for the Bundaberg area for this weekend doesn’t look the best with winds up to 25km/h expected to pick up from the southeast. Luckily enough the local rivers have been producing good numbers of quality fish during the past week. The Across the Waves Fishing Club had a great outing last weekend in the Burnett River. …

The Whiting have been in good numbers with quality whiting being caught throughout the lower reaches of the river. The Frying Pan, Dog Beach and the banks along Gympie Terrace have been the place to be. The good old elbow slappers have been responding well to live and cured worms yabbies and surface lures like the Bassday Sugapens, Bassday Crystal …

Finally, this weekend’s weather forecast looks like a fantastic chance to get out and chase a feed of reef and pelagic fish. With the wind predicted to be under 15 knots all weekend and the new moon on Friday, it should be worth a go. On the offshore grounds there has been good reports of lots of hussar, parrot, sweetlip, …
