Local Reports

We certainly felt the cold snap this week with inland temps getting below 1C! For those of us on the coast we got down to around 6C and with westerly winds made for cool daytime temps. A plus side of this is that there has been increased activity for the tailor anglers. The bigger currents and higher tides saw baitfish …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it has been a pretty windy so far on the Gold and Tweed Coast making finding a good weather window difficult for local fishos. At the time of writing my report it looks like we will see the weather heat up for the weekend as we have some strong NW …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE After a few good days of weather during this past week around the Bundaberg area, it was great to see the local reef fishermen get stuck into plenty of quality reef fish, including coral trout, grass sweetlip, red emperor, maori cod and parrot.  Unfortunately, for this weekend it is predicted to blow up a little, but please check …

What a mixed bag of weather we have seen this week. From crazy winds, swell, no swell, rain and clear skies, light westerly winds and a great day for all. SE QLD sure has the ability to throw a few curve balls when it comes to weather so trying different styles or locations can keep you fishing rather than wishing. …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it was a bit of a mixed bag when it came to weather on the Gold and Tweed Coasts with some extra cool starts and the wind swinging around in multiple directions making fishing conditions a bit testing at times for those that got out for a fish. At this …

BUNDABERG INSHORE With the weather this weekend not looking the best at this point, for the fishos that can get out offshore, there’s some nice grunter and sweet lip still being caught from the local reefs. Just keep in mind that the snapper and pearl perch closure starts on 15 July to 15 August 2021. Always make sure to check the …

Many anglers will have favoured moon phases and tide times to go fishing. Without doubt the lead up to the new moon is a great time to go fishing as a dark moon is thought to produce a morning bite window. It is also thought that predatory fish can hunt under the cover of darkness vs a full moon where …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it was great to see some much nicer weather return to the Gold and Tweed Coast with the swell dropping it gave fishos a last minute chance to head out offshore to chase a Snapper and Pearl Perch before the closure takes effect on 15/7/2021. It looks like we will …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The weather for over the weekend is not looking too bad, with Sunday being the best of both days. We have been getting good reports of reef species such as coral trout, red emperor, and a lot of grassy sweetlip being caught offshore from Bundy. Remember to always check the weather report for updates before heading out. BUNDABERG …

What a change in the weather! From light winds, no swell and clear sunny days to big rain fall, increased swell and swollen rivers. Although this may sound bad the reality is it can be some of the best fishing, especially after a few days of calm. With the rains filling up the estuaries this sees the Noosa bar flush …
