Inshore reef fishing This week we have finally had a break in the weather and this has meant plenty of boats have headed offshore in chase of some tasty reefies. We have seen great success coming from those who have been bottom fishing the northern and southern gutters with some cracking trout, sweetlip, venus tuskfish and even the odd snapper. …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. The weather gods have finally smiled upon the Sunshine Coast, delivering some awesome weather over the Easter long weekend. Perfect conditions offshore have allowed many boaties to venture out after an extended spell of unfavorable weather. These good offshore conditions are expected to continue until mid-next week. We are however, expecting the …

Inshore reef fishing Although the weather has definitely not been ideal to head offshore we did see a few boats brave the rain and sneak out to our inshore reefs earlier in the week. The wind was down to about 10knots and at 0.8m of swell off Burnett Heads it was good enough for a few anglers to have a …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Unfortunately, we’ve had another week of heavy rainfall and windy conditions. The freshwater, combined with super high tides, has made our estuaries virtually unfishable again. Offshore has been a no go, and freshwater options are flooded. This week’s report therefore will be another short one. Hopefully the sunshine we are seeing poke …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast fishing report. Unsuitable fishing conditions have continued this week, with rain and wind hampering many efforts to wet a line.

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Unfortunately we’ve had another week of poor weather conditions which has resulted in a quiet week for local fishos. Smithy from Smithy’s Fishing Charters and Glen from Deep End Fishing Charters both confirmed they haven’t been offshore due to the conditions, and it doesn’t look like the upcoming week will be any …

Inshore/Offshore fishing Needless to say there hasn’t been many boats heading offshore this week with consistent 20-30knot days proving to be set in for quite some time. With the weather the way it is there’s no doubt that it is the perfect time to catch up on maintenance that often times get overlooked. Trailer maintenance, reel servicing, line spooling and …

Welcome to this week’s Sunshine Coast Fishing Report. Apologies for the lack of a report last week – we were moving our store from Bli Bli to our new location in Maroochydore. More rain has once again resulted in frustration for estuary fishos, with rivers still murky due to the freshwater. Some good catches have still been reported however, so …

Inshore/Offshore fishing The last two weekends have certainly been a treat for us fishos to head out wide and chase plenty of our tasty reef species. The inshore and offshore fishing was red hot with plenty of action all throughout the day especially on patchy and rubbly bottom away from any main reefs or wrecks. The sharks have definitely been …
