Local Reports

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 …

With cyclone swell pounding the SE QLD coastline the offshore scene was put on hold. The Noosa Bar has seen 6-8 foot swell hitting straight on which should see the channel move and hopefully open things up. All the rain we had in the middle of the week in combination with post full moon tides saw the river get a …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, the wet weather has continued once again seeing a massive amount of rainfall on the Tweed and Gold Coast. Conditions have been average to spend time outdoors, those keen enough to brave the rain have managed to find a feed. Good news the weekend is looking much better for heading out …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE All the rain we have been receiving around the Bundaberg area lately can only be good for the future fishing. The bigger boats that headed offshore over the previous weekend ended up getting good feeds of red emperor, coral trout, nannygai and a lot of red throat emperor.  With the sharks in big numbers on the reefs, it …

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. We have also seen a bump in the swell making offshore conditions hard during the week. The weekend did see light winds early on but the swell remained which kept most in the river. …
