With the coast copping some big rainfalls of late the rivers have turned dark brown and the local reefs have seen a change in water colour.

After our recent rain we have seen great numbers of mud and sand crabs moving out of our creeks and inlets. Placing your pots at creek mouths or bay inlets around the 3 metre mark has produced the best results. The bait of choice has been mullet, chicken frames or fish frames. (Remember to tag and identify your pots within …

With a bit of luck, everyone has recovered from their Australia Day activities last weekend.  It was awesome to see so many families and friends in the great outdoors enjoying what the Bundaberg region has to offer. BUNDABERG OFFSHORE By all reports, the bigger boats that headed to the islands out off Agnes Water all managed to boat plenty of …

We finally had some decent rainfall and all the rivers along the coast have finally had a bit of a flush. Offshore has been slower this …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, we have been desperate for rain on the Tweed and Gold Coast for months now, it seems it’s either feast or famine with some parts of the Gold Coast copping up to 300mm of rain last Friday night and Saturday morning.
