BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The forecast at this stage for the Bundaberg Show Holiday on Thursday should be good enough for the bigger boats to venture offshore and get stuck into some cracking reef fish off Bundaberg and 1770. Unfortunately, the wind is expected to strengthen slightly again over the weekend, restricting most of the fishing closer to shore.  As always, check …

As expected the wonderful weather we had last week/weekend faded away to blustery mid-week conditions and a rising swell. Prior to this change the bite was definitely on, especially as we pushed toward the new moon. It was a little quiet post moon but anglers in the know reported good fish and a nice mixed bag. The ocean temps are …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, the weather has been a bit average with only a small weather window last Wednesday before the Southerly wind kicked back in on the Gold and Tweed Coast making it hard going. The weekend is looking pretty wild at this stage with strong Southerly winds and a big swell pumping …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the recent good weather there has been a range of good sized fish caught, using a range of different methods and techniques.  The slow pitch jigging and strip baiting has been working well. We have been seeing a range of fish being caught from pearl perch, coral trout, and red throat emperor. There are still some good spanish …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, we have had a bit of a windy and wet week at times on the Gold and Tweed Coast and the weekend is not looking much better at this stage with the Southerly winds looking like increasing at the time of writing my report. Sheltered waters will be the go …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore fishing last weekend surely turned it on. Plenty of cracker sized coral trout and red emperor were caught. Fingers crossed the weather plays the game this weekend, with the smaller tides this weekend and a building moon, the fish should be really on the chew. Remember to focus on the tide changes when fishing the deep, …

The first week of May surely gave the coast a mixed bag of weather. We had big rains and swell hitting the coast and even hail! This kept many anglers grounded for the week with the weekend giving way to some standout conditions and a swell that was more manageable on the coastal bars. Offshore May and June is the …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it was great to see some nice weather last weekend and plenty of Fishos out and about making the most of the great conditions. After a bit of rain during the week it looks like we will see the sun return and a forecast of much nicer weather as we …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE As I mentioned earlier, the forecast is looking good at this stage for the bigger boats to have a crack offshore this weekend.  …
