BUNDABERG INSHORE The Bundaberg inshore reefs have been producing some cracking grunter and snapper.  Some of the grunter have been 70cm plus.  My favourite way to chase both of these fish on the Bundaberg inshore reefs is by working Samaki 20g vibes all through the water column.  Looking at your sounder and finding the bait will put you in the …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, cold is an understatement last Saturday with only the keenest Fishos heading out to try their luck on the Tweed and Gold Coast.
