Local Reports

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good week. The weather has certainly come good this week, with nice conditions on offer seeing mostly light wind and only a few showers, making heading out on the water much nicer than last week’s heavy rain fall. The water quality has been on the improve thanks to some very large tides …

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good week. No reprieve from the wind and heavy rain this week on the Gold Coast, with another big dumping of freshwater into our local waterways. A good flush out is a must have and will be very beneficial to fishing over the next few months. Fishing will be a bit tough …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE For the larger boats wanting to get outside over the weekend the weather is looking pretty good. Besides a few showers, the wind is moderate. We have had good reports of red emperor, trout, parrotfish and plenty of sweetlip being caught. Also, plenty of sharks are about. Check the weather before heading out as things can change in …

Well, what a week it’s been. More rainfall and the conditions are certainly only going to get better from a fishing point of view. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen steady rain, so hoping this keeps up and we can expect to see the Noosa River get a much-needed flush finally. Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore Offshore, the local …

It certainly feels like summer is just around the corner with temperatures beginning to hit over 30C. This really should start to see a big awakening of fish both offshore and in the rivers and dams. With more persistent west/northwest wind, the oceans will begin to clean up and bring the fish with it. Sunshine Coast Noosa Many anglers are …

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good week. The rain was quite persistent at times this week with some quite heavy falls around the Gold Coast. At the time of writing my report the weather pattern of moderate wind and rain looks to be hanging around until early next week. Saturday looks the pick of the days with …

Firstly, how good was the rain we had last week in the Bundaberg region! It was awesome to see everything green again. Let’s hope it eases some pressure off our local farmers. On the fishing side of things most of our local rivers except for the Burnett are clean enough to fish and are fishing well. THE ELLIOTT RIVER The …

Well, after a long wait we finally saw the first bigger rain event last Thursday night. With some parts of the state in full flood, Noosa certainly got a top up. This is great news because the baitfish and prawns will be pushed down, making finding fish a little easier. While the fresh is moving down river, you may need …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With big full moon morning tides this weekend, I would definitely be fishing the shallows in the mornings for coral trout and red throat emperor. Using pilchard as bait or jigging 5” soft plastics off the bottom is an effective way to get a good feed. Fingers crossed the weather will play the game. As always, check the …

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good week. It was nice to see a return to some good consistent weather, with lighter wind, sunshine and a small swell, giving everyone plenty of opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy some quality time fishing. At the time of writing my report, the weekend is also looking good, …
