Inshore/Offshore fishing With a few cracking days of weather early this week we have seen plenty of people heading to our inshore reefs. Most people have had great success and the spanish mackerel have been ON! Trolling gar and hardbody’s is the go to way at the moment with most of the common grounds in close producing some quality fish. Early mornings …

Inshore/Offshore fishing Friday and Saturday are both looking like great days to be fishing our inshore reefs with winds predicted around 5 knots both days with only 0.5m of swell in close. Trolling for some mackerel will be a great idea with the big tides pushing plenty of water around and this is an easy way to catch a feed …

Inshore/Offshore Our inshore reefs have been full of bait and the pelagic fish have been around in big schools and feeding aggressively. Fishing big bommies or ledges has been a great technique or keeping an eye out for any action along the top of the water. Using 5 inch jerk tail soft plastics either twitched through the school of feeding pelagic fish or …

Inshore/Offshore Unfortunately last weeks good weather lined up perfectly with the coral reef fin fish closure so we weren’t able to head out chasing those tasty reef fish.

There’s also been some nice grunter and late seasoned snapper around so be …

Inshore/Offshore Last weekends weather proved to be absolutely stunning and it was great to see plenty of quality fish being caught. Those fortunate enough to head out over the weekend were rewarded with plenty of coral trout, red emperor, tusk fish and grassy sweetlip. Most of these fish were caught on large flesh baits fished on the bottom with squid and …

Noosa – Cool times I think it comes as a shock that the current temperature is quite cold for this time of year. If we think back to this time last year, I certainly remember feeling hot, particularly at night. This has had an effect on angling, as have the strong wind and swell. The good news is that when …

Inshore/Offshore After over a week of rough conditions the offshore fisho’s are no doubt craving a trip out wide to fill their esky’s and stretch their arms. With the next few days looking promising for now plenty of anglers are hoping to finally make this a reality. Keep a close eye on the weather report as it can change overnight, …

As we welcomed in the start of November, the warm spring days have been replaced with cool rainy conditions. Reports from offshore have been encouraging, with good catches of snapper, pearl perch, tuskfish and various other reef species abundant. That’s not to say they have come easy, as some anglers can tell you – with some finding it difficult to …
