Local Reports

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 …

With the winds coming up early on most days it was a case of heading out very early if fishing offshore or using one of the many sheltered locations throughout the Noosa River to fish.

What an action-packed weekend it was around the Bundaberg region.  We were fortunate to have some fantastic weather and by all reports, plenty of trophy fish were caught. BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Jade from Truansea Charters reported having a couple of excellent days reef fishing last weekend before the weather change that rolled through around lunch time Sunday.  Other anglers also reported …

What a great start to the week with a public holiday! The winds were kind enough to drop out and the swell was low enough to let most with a boat get into the action. Unfortunately the winds picked up from there and we even had some significant rainfall on Friday and Saturday which is going to see a good …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The weather around the Bundaberg area is looking good for this weekend for those guys wanting to get offshore. There are good reports of red emperor, coral trout and red throat sweetlip having been caught during the past weeks. For those anglers wanting to get out and have a crack, always check the current forecast before heading out …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, it was nice to finally get some long overdue rain over the weekend on the Tweed and Gold Coast. It will take a lot more rain to give the system the flush out required to help with the fishing and crabbing but we are happy to take any rain for now.  …
