Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, it’s nice to see a bit more stability in the weather   giving us as little break from the hot Northerly winds on the Tweed and  Gold Coasts.  The Northern end of the Coast coped a hammering from hail last Sunday including myself out fishing with the kids, we had a bit …

With the northerly winds blowing and not looking to change any time soon, offshore fishing around the Bundaberg area will be a bit lumpy out wide.  It’s time to do maintenance on the boat and trailer before the weather comes good and it’s Christmas time. BUNDABERG INSHORE For those anglers who are mad keen and want to poke their noses …

It’s been a hot one! With temps hitting over 35C and hot Northerly winds turning up the heat one option was to find a shady spot and go for a swim during the daytimes. Early mornings have definitely been the best time to go for a fish before the winds picked up and we have seen some great captures from …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, hot and windy would pretty much sum the week on the Gold and Tweed Coats with rain long overdue to help. Lack of rain has been making fishing hard at times but persistence pays off for lucky anglers willing to put in the time and effort. Let’s have a look at …

Firstly, how good is it to be living in this part of the world?  We have so many options at our doorstep which all are fishing well.  At this stage, it’s looking like the northerly wind which is predicted will make things a little lumpy out wide.

BUNDABERG INSHORE With the weather around the Bundaberg area not looking too good for the offshore reefs this weekend, there are some options for those who want to poke their nose out the front to the inshore reefs.  We have heard reports of schoolie mackerel being caught close in from the mouth of the Burnett River down to the Elliott …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, it’s been pretty windy so far on Tweed and Gold Coasts, finding a spot to hide out of the wind has been the key to enjoying some quality fishing time. The weekend is looking good with some lighter winds and sunshine on the way. Let’s see what’s been happening. Last weekend …

As we welcomed in the start of November the weather has changed with winds from the NW-NE now showing up. During this time heading into the wind if going offshore should certainly make things easier coming home especially if you still have the wind behind you. Early starts saw the lighter winds and lower tides but there were no problems …

With the bad weather behind us the week lined up with light morning winds followed by afternoon winds, dropping off into the evening. The swell on the Noosa bar dropped low enough to allow anyone with a boat out and head far or stay local. The afternoon SE breezes made Sunshine reef a popular option for smaller craft and those …

BUNDABERG INSHORE For the anglers around the Bundaberg area, the schoolie mackerel have turned up in awesome numbers over the past couple weeks.  Fast retrieving Flasha spoons off the bottom and sinking pilchards on gang hooks will get you the numbers.  I usually don’t use anything over 60lb leader just to get the bite.  Also some of the size of …
