Local Reports

This weekend, it looks like we’ll see the fishing restricted to the local Bundaberg estuaries and impoundments due to the wind that has been generated from the low pressure system that has slipped down the Queensland coast during the week.  Remember, if you plan on going fishing, always check the latest weather forecast before heading out as conditions can change …

It appears that all things that start off great come to an abrupt end from a weather point of view. We finally had some cracking weather days which saw light winds, light swell and a clearing of the sea from dark brown. With the start of the weekend there was a great weather window that soon faded away to 20 …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, a run of nice weather early in the week has been welcomed by anglers on the Tweed and Gold Coast giving everyone some great fishing conditions at times. A few showers will be hanging around as the week progresses, at this stage it looks like the wind is tipped to pick …

BUNDABERG INSHORE With the amount of rain we’ve had around the Bundaberg area over the past month, things are starting to settle down and the inshore fishing has really improved.  There has been plenty of bait around the inshore reefs which, in turn has sent the pelagics into a feeding frenzy.  Trolling large-sized diving lures will pick you up a …

The last week of Feb certainly turned on a mixed bag of weather for the coast. From cold mornings to humid afternoons and thunderstorms we have had it all. The rivers are running darker than previous weeks and as such there was a flurry of fish biting hard. Offshore from Noosa the local reefs were the most accessible due to …

THE BURNETT RIVER Even though the Bundaberg region has received some welcome rain and most of the rivers and creeks are running a little fresh, plenty of quality estuary species are being caught.  The rock walls from the mouth down to Kirby’s Wall are still producing some nice bream, mangrove jack and estuary cod.  Mud crabs have really fired up …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, a bit of a wind and rain has been hanging around on the Tweed and Gold Coast making conditions a bit average at times for outdoor activities. Braving the showers and making the most of weather windows finding good fishing spots out of the wind has paid off for those anglers …

We have seen the rains finally start to subside which has seen some great fish caught not only offshore, but in the river too. Even though the waters are still brown it is still worth going out and having a go. Offshore the local reefs of Sunshine, Jew Shoal and Halls reef have seen some great captures. The rains have …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, the Sunshine has been a sight for sore eyes on the Gold and Tweed Coasts after the massive dumping of rain we copped last week. Hundreds of millimetres of rain wreaked havoc throughout the Tweed and Gold Coast rivers and waterways with massive amount of fresh water and debris scattered everywhere. …

BUNDABERG INSHORE With rain we’ve had around the Bundaberg area over the past few weeks, there is bulk bait on all the inshore reefs.  The number of big grunter that have been caught has been crazy!  As the water clears up the mackerel should turn up everywhere on the inshore reefs.  Fishing for them with lightly-weighted pilchards and Flasha Spoons …
