Local Reports

G’day all, I hope everyone is well and looking forward to the 5-10 knots forecast for the Southern Bay this coming weekend. Despite the wind and much needed rain, last week saw good reports of school mackerel from the Rouse and Rainbow Channels as well as good mixed bags taken from some of the local creeks. School mackerel are being …

Finally we have had a good run of weather which has seen everyone get offshore and stuck into some fantastic fishing, with spanish mackerel mania on the cards. In close the bait balls have been huge closely followed by tuna, cobia and mackerel. With baits and lures not even reaching the bottom the general size of cobia have been around …

How good is it to live in this part of Australia at this time of the year?  I’m sure everyone enjoyed their Australia Day celebrations, and it was great to see so many anglers around the Bundaberg area out wetting a line last weekend.BUNDABERG OFFSHOREFinally, there was a small window in the weather for a few of the larger boats …

G’day everybody, I hope you all enjoyed the Australia Day long weekend and managed to spend some time on the water. Unfortunately it’s looking like we will be in for another breezy weekend with consistent 15 knot southeasters forecast Saturday through Sunday. Luckily there are still plenty of opportunities to fish the southern end of Moreton Bay when there is …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE We were really lucky around the Bundaberg area that earlier in the week we had a small window of reasonable weather that allowed a few boats to head offshore.  Although the weather didn’t quite turn out as forecast, those who braved the conditions caught some quality fish, including coral trout, parrot, sweetlip and a few big cod.  There …

Finally the weather has broken and the swell is rapidly fading. This week we have seen 1-2 ft fading easterly swell combined with light north easterly winds which has seen everyone who owns a boat head out after the pelagic fish. Crossing the bar has been a lot easier and the local reefs have been fishing well. Out wide North …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, with the weather report stuck on repeat for weeks now everyone on the Gold Coast has been enjoying some fantastic fishing conditions. Let’s have a look at some options for the Australia Day Long Weekend. I was lucky enough to be able to sneak offshore with my mate Wayne and daughter …

Where was this awesome weather 3 weeks ago?? Really happy to see it for the end of the School Holidays as it has allowed families to get out and about, chase some fish and put a cracker finish to the holidays. Being able to get out and about in the local area I have found a few families braving the …
