Local Reports

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, the weather over the weekend for Father’s day was a bit average and that theme continued on into the week with strong winds and big swells persisting for the majority of the time, at least the rain disappeared. At this stage Saturday morning may provide a short weather window before …

Step into spring What a change in the pattern of fishing since the snapper closure. Many anglers have reported solid snapper out wide with smaller fish in close or many sweetlip on their usual snapper spots. No matter how you look at it the weather we are currently getting is going to hopefully stir things up with a ground swell …

End of winter Well that’s it folks! End of winter is here and it really feels like it’s having one last go. As I write the morning temps are 7C and the skies are clear with light winds. To me this screams snapper especially with 2-3 foot of clean surf hitting the coast. Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore The water clarity …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it was nice to see the great run of weather continue as we transition into Springtime on the Gold Coast, we will see the days starting to warm up and the fishing will continue to get better.

Open season Well the snapper season sure kicked off with a bang! We have had two consecutive weekends of perfect weather. Although fishing has been a little quiet some great fish have been caught with many stories of the one that got away. Sunshine Coast Noosa Offshore The bar has been kind as of late which has seen more boats …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The reef fishing last weekend really turned it on! The standout fish was definitely the red emperor. Plenty were caught around 10kg. With the smaller tides again this weekend the deep should be on. Remember to fish with big flesh baits when fishing the deeper water. Let the smaller fish play with it then hook in once you …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it was great to see some fantastic weather conditions for the majority of the week on the Gold Coast seeing plenty of happy anglers hitting the water to try their luck. Good news is at the time of writing my report the good weather is set to hang around giving …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Now that it’s open season on snapper and pearl perch, all our local reef fisherman can once again get out and chase both species.  Even though the conditions weren’t great, the anglers who were lucky enough to have some time off earlier this week and ventured offshore all reported catching a quality mixed bag of reef fish including …

Well here we all are and the offshore crews can again catch all species without restriction, apart from bag and size limits, of course. The Queensland annual snapper and pearl perch closure is now done and dusted and for most it wasn’t too much of an issue as we had some pretty wild weather which gave the fish a break …
