Local Reports

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, light winds and plenty of sunshine earlier in the week made for nice fishing conditions. With the possibility of the Low pressure system making its way towards the coast strong winds and swell will make fishing tough.  Let’s see what’s been biting this week. At the time of writing my report …

With a few days of opportunity early in the week, the local reefs were the popular options. Sunshine Reef has certainly been popular and for good reason. Good catches of cobia, coral trout, mackerel and tuna are at the top of the list. Other species in the mix include snapper, tusk fish, pearlies and various cod species. We still have …

BURNETT RIVER The Burnett has been fishing awesome with plenty of cracker grunter and flathead being caught! The standout way to target them has been throwing 10g and 20g Samaki soft vibes over gravel beds and shallow sand bars. There has also been plenty of good sized mangrove jacks caught on the shallow rock bars at low tide. Flicking small …

What a difference in the weather we have had this week. With a peak in the swell and the winds the bar has been off limits to everyone until the weekend finally gave anglers a narrow window of opportunity to go for a quick fish. With the tides low at first light it certainly paid off to wait until there …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With some nice weather around the Bundaberg area earlier in the week, it was fantastic to see quite a few large boats gear up and head out to the reefs.  By all reports the anglers who put in the effort were well rewarded with some nice mixed bags of coral trout, red emperor, sweetlip, cod and parrot. BUNDABERG …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week. Early mornings and late afternoons have been the best time to go fishing with the extra hot days this week. With a strong South to South Easterly change on the way for the weekend the protected rivers and canals will be the best option to hide out of the wind. Local …

G’day all I hope it has been a good week for you. At the time of writing there are 20-25 knot Southeasters predicted Friday through Sunday so the Brisbane creeks and rivers might be the only option for those wanting to get out for a fish this weekend. The fishing last week was a little slower than we would have …

Offshore we’ve seen more consistent weather lately. The inshore reefs of Sunshine, Chardons, Halls and of course Jew shoal are all providing action in the form of Spanish mackerel, spotty mackerel, tuna and cobia. The action has been thick and fast with many great fish biting many anglers off or getting sharked. While you can’t prevent the sharks, using a …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, it’s fantastic news to finally see some much needed rain on the Gold Coast.  Hopefully the rain will give the waterways a bit of a flush out and stir up the Crabs and Fish. Let’s have a look at what’s been biting. Mud Crabs are a great option to target after …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore forecast for the Bundaberg area could go either way this weekend, so keep an eye on it and check the latest updates before heading out.  The new moon was earlier this week and we are on the building moon so the fishing should be pretty hot out there.  Targeting red emperor and coral trout in the …
