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. …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, after an extra hot weekend and start to the week on the Tweed and Gold Coast we are now experiencing another dumping of rain to give us another system flush-out.

Well this last week has been slow on the fishing front due to wind and bad weather. So this week we will forecast how the current weather will affect fishing in coming weeks. The rain we all prayed for has finally come. With some last week and continuing into this week/weekend a lot of people are asking what we think …

With the new moon behind us we saw a solid bite window pre-moon phase. The building tides and storms that were building up saw the Noosa River come alive after dark with mangrove jacks making the most of the low light hunting conditions. Offshore we saw a better early morning bite window and strong currents prevailed. As things headed toward …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, we had some nice weather for locals to celebrate the Australia Day Long Weekend  on the Tweed and Gold Coast seeing plenty of fishing and boating action on our local waterways. The fishing and crabbing will getting better as we head into February and anglers continue taking advantage of the flush …

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 …
