BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With a couple of decent days weather last weekend, both the Burnett River and Agnes Water boat ramps were very busy. By all reports most boats managed to land a quality mixed bag of reef fish including coral trout, red emperor, grass sweet lip and parrot. Once again sharks were a problem, destroying lots of good fish. BUNDABERG …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, what a difference a week makes to the weather. Plenty of sunshine and light winds made for a great weekend and cooler change mid-week gave everyone a chance to dry out and get on the water to have some fun on the Gold and Tweed Coast. It looks like we …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the new moon tides this weekend, the trout and red throat emperor should be chewing in the shallows. Using pilchards as bait and jigging 5” soft plastics will get you the bite. With plenty of water moving the spanish mackerel should be feeding as well. Setting unweighted gar out the back while you’re fishing for reefies on …

It would seem that the weather gods have really got the sunny coast in their sights this week. With heavy rain fall, big seas and localised flooding it is more a case of do some much needed repairs and prep for when the sun shines. Those with crab pots are loading up and getting ready so its not a case …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, unfortunately we had a wild and wet Easter Break with relentless rain and wind.

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the weather looking a bit average for offshore fishing over the weekend for the smaller boats, it may turn out to be ok for the larger boats.

With the start of the week providing blustery and wet conditions it felt like it was here to stay. Although this stopped a lot of anglers from heading out it did give the seas a break from boat traffic. The flooding rains have pushed a lot of bait out into the bays and as predicted the longtail have followed. Nearing …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, it was nice to see the sunshine again on the Gold and Tweed coast after all the rain we have been subjected to the past week. With Easter and school holidays here, our waterways have slowly started to clear up after flooding rains. It will take quite a while to …

BUNDABERG INSHORE The weather this weekend looks like it’s going to give us a good opportunity to get out over the weekend with both Saturday and Sunday morning looking good. Sunday morning would be the pick of the 2 days. There has been plenty of mackerel and tuna getting around. Methods for catching the mackerel has been float lining un-weighted …

What a wet and windy week! As predicted the rains have arrived and with some serious falls across the coast this has seen rivers rise, turn brown and pump bait and nutrients out into the bays. Although this will quieten the inland fishing for a while the offshore should start to fire. This is the time of year where longtail …
