Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, what a great start to Winter on the Tweed and Gold Coast with plenty of sunshine making fishing a great option. Looks like the wind will ease by the weekend, which is great news. Just watch the swell if you are looking at heading offshore, make sure you have the …

Well that’s May done and dusted! What a month it’s been for everyone. We have had cold snaps, mild rains and some great westerlies kicking in to keep things calm offshore. With restrictions lifted a little more we have seen some cracking fish caught and lost. This week offshore was a little quieter this week due to strong winds and …

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. The rest of the week we have been blessed with sunny days and light winds making spending time outdoors much more inviting. Once the swell eases heading …

Over the coming months we will see lots of people heading out to our lovely Moreton Bay foreshores chasing arrow and tiger squid and in this write up we will talk about the squid fishing gear used and recommended for this particular type of fishing. Over the past 5 years EGI fishing has become a hit. It is a great …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the weather around the Bundaberg area being good for the previous few days, reports of good fish have been coming aboard with coral trout, red emperor and grass sweetlip being just a few of the reef species being caught.  Also, a few Spanish mackerel are around, so get a floating pilchard out the back for any cruising …

Those who did go offshore stayed in close as the sea state was not too calm. It seems that the birds and surface tuna have now passed but are not yet gone. These fish will still be feeding but will be deeper so keep eyes peeled for nervous bait and of course have sounders running. For now the focus has …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, bit of a mixed bag of weather hanging around the past week with plenty of wind, a few showers and a couple of weather windows for keen Fishos mid-week to get outdoors for a fishing mission on the Gold and Tweed Coasts. Let’s see what’s been on the bite. As …

BUNDABERG INSHORE The inshore reefs have been red hot this week and are starting to produce some really nice snapper.  I’ve heard reports of a few being caught over 80cm. My favourite bite time for them is at very first light.  Working Samaki vibes through the bait always gets the bite for me.  Also, slowly sinking pilchards and squid down …

As we headed into the weekend the winds dropped and the swell sat around a comfortable 1.2m. This of course saw busy boat ramps and with low tides before first light the bar was an easier crossing for many heading out to fish the reefs. Out wide Barwon Banks and the Hards were popular for the bigger boats. Despite the …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week, for Mum’s that enjoy fishing it was nice to see some great conditions last weekend for Mother’s Day on the Gold and Tweed Coasts, with the Tweed River an awesome option. Bit windy for the rest of the week with a small weather window to get out and about. Let’s …
