Offshore, we are seeing bigger snapper following the bait into the shallower reefs all along the coast. Halls reef is definitely worth a look as this area holds great fish year round.

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, Winter has certainly taken hold on the Tweed and Gold Coast with cold Westerly winds causing the temperature to plummet, especially at night we have been seeing single digit temps.

BUNDABERG INSHORE Some cracking snapper and grunter have been caught around the Bundaberg area over the past week.  The Four Mile Reef and the Cochrane Artificial Reef off Elliot Heads have been the hot spots.  Drifting over the top and the edges of the Four Mile working soft plastics and soft vibes will get you into the action.  At the …

Offshore fishing is definitely heading toward a change with many anglers waiting for the arrival of the big snapper and that consistent winter pattern. The smaller fish are certainly in good numbers and these are the best ones to keep due to their slow growth rates. Pan sized snapper are a huge amount of fun on 3-5KG estuary gear and …
