BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Finally it looks like there will be a break in the weather around the Bundaberg area, but always remember to check the updated forecast before heading out.  With the small tides, the deep should be fishing awesome!  Using big flesh baits with the new Elkat gang hooks will do some damage to some trophy fish.  If you’re fishing …

After a week of nice weather the weather gods frowned down on the sunshine coast again and we have had a fair bit of wind, rain and swell.

The Noosa Bar still had 2-3 feet of swell rolling through but patience made for an easy dry crossing for most. With Spanish mackerel very much on the chew the reef of choice was Halls reef.

The squid bonanza is here and the action is thick and fast. Many land-based anglers love chasing the beloved squid along rock walls, foreshores and islands. Moreton Bay provides many options when it comes to areas to catch these tasty cephalopods.
