Local Reports

Once again the weather forecast for the Bundaberg area for this weekend is looking fantastic.  We all can’t remember such a good run of weather around the local area in ages.  Most of the boats took advantage of the flat conditions last weekend and fished around the islands off Bundaberg and 1770.  By all reports most boats managed to capture …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, we were finally blessed with some nice weather last weekend with light winds, plenty of sunshine and a decrease in swell giving anglers plenty of options on the Gold Coast.  Let’s have a look at what’s been biting. It was great to finally see a long overdue break in the weather …

Winds were light on the Sunshine Coast and everyone had a shot offshore this weekend. With the swell small enough we saw many anglers make the most of the conditions and head far and wide. We are currently in a shift in the seasons so we can certainly expect to see our winter species coming through soon. North reef has …

WOW!! How good was it to see a good run of calm offshore weather around the Bundaberg region during the past week? BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With not a car park left at the Burnett Heads boat ramp, this meant that a lot of boats had the chance to head well offshore, and by all reports everyone caught fish. The islands from …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, with the bigger swell still hanging around offshore fishing the calmer waters of our local rivers and estuary’s has been the best bet.  Let’s have a look at what’s been on offer this week.

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE It was fantastic to see a small break in the windy conditions around the Bundaberg area during this past week.  For some reef fishermen it has been months between outings, but this weekend and the first few days of next week are looking good to get out offshore and re-stock the freezers.  With no one being able to …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, after a wild weekend of strong winds and big swell thanks to Cyclone Oma it’s nice to see our weather pattern returning back to normal for the last week of Summer.  Let’s see how the bad weather affected the fishing this week. We were very lucky to have escaped the worst …

BURNETT RIVER The trusty old Burnett River keeps producing some quality fishing. There has still been a good number of big grunter about and plenty of cod and mangrove jacks being caught along the rock walls by live-baiting or using weedless rigged soft plastics, with Zerek Live Cherabins being a standout. Some of the sand flats have produced some quality …

Well unless we can invent a new sport of tow in fishing it’s going to be a very quiet few days ahead. With cyclone Oma bringing big swell, backed up tides and storm force winds the river is going to be one of a couple of options. Prior to the storm, offshore was really starting to fire up with the …

G’day all, It’s looking like the next week or so will be a write off with 40+ knot winds, big seas and plenty of rain heading our way. Last week the region was fishing consistent with good tides and calm mornings allowing plenty of boats to get out and catch a few fish. Diver whiting and some nice squid were …
