Local Reports

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Unfortunately we’ve had another week of poor weather conditions which has resulted in a quiet week for local fishos. Smithy from Smithy’s Fishing Charters and Glen from Deep End Fishing Charters both confirmed they haven’t been offshore due to the conditions, and it doesn’t look like the upcoming week will be any …

Inshore/Offshore fishing Needless to say there hasn’t been many boats heading offshore this week with consistent 20-30knot days proving to be set in for quite some time. With the weather the way it is there’s no doubt that it is the perfect time to catch up on maintenance that often times get overlooked. Trailer maintenance, reel servicing, line spooling and …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Apologies for the lack of a report last week – we were moving our store from Bli Bli to our new location in Maroochydore. More rain has once again resulted in frustration for estuary fishos, with rivers still murky due to the freshwater. Some good catches have still been reported however, so …

Inshore/Offshore fishing The last two weekends have certainly been a treat for us fishos to head out wide and chase plenty of our tasty reef species. The inshore and offshore fishing was red hot with plenty of action all throughout the day especially on patchy and rubbly bottom away from any main reefs or wrecks. The sharks have definitely been …

Inshore fishing Last week saw one of the best weather windows we have had in a very long time and this weekend is shaping up to be another cracker couple of days. With 4 straight days of glamour conditions it’s safe to say it was a bad few days to be a fish. The inshore reefs have provided some really good …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. It’s been another week marked by rain and less-than-ideal conditions for our local anglers. Unfortunately for estuary enthusiasts, it seems we’re at least another week away from seeing the dirty water fully flushed from our river systems, and that’s if we have no more rain. Despite these challenges, there are still opportunities …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Poor weather conditions have resulted in few catches over the past week. This week’s report therefore is short and sweet! With more rain and wind predicted for the coming week, it’s looking like another quiet week on the water. Offshore Over the last week, the weather gods turned on a few prime …

Inshore fishing Although we have not had much of a chance to head out with the unfavourable conditions lately the inshore reefs have still been fishing well in the small weather windows we have had. The standout fish have been the pelagic’s, a lot of tuna, mackerel, queenfish and trevally have been around. The school mackerel have been at times hard …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Fishing conditions continue to be tricky, with the remnants of the previous week’s flooding still affecting local fishing. Wind and swell should make offshore a no-go until a brief reprieve next Wednesday, after which conditions look to deteriorate again. Hot and muggy conditions look as though they’ll continue into next week, with …

Inshore fishing The inshore reefs are definitely still producing some great fishing! Good sized trout and stripeys have been caught along the coast and at the common marks on squid and pilchards as bait. Big schools of quality sized grunter have also been caught along the coast with squid being the go to bait. Hopping soft vibes around the rocks, …
