LAKE MONDURAN This awesome barra impoundment has really fired up this week.  Barra to 92cm have been responding well to hard body lures and soft vibes jigged vertically off the bottom.  Good news is that the dam received around 4500 barra fingerlings last Saturday morning.  These fingerlings were all about 15cm to 20cm in length and looked very happy in …

With some tough offshore conditions over the long weekend, plenty of Easter anglers opted for a fish in the river. Flathead have been in good numbers down towards river mouth with live baits working well, small poddy mullet and herring have been ideal and if you fish these baits on the outgoing tide you should find the bigger fish. Trolling …

Well, another week has zipped by and left us with more wind, so unfortunately there will be no more offshore fishing for the Bundaberg area for at least another week.  On the plus side, most of the local rivers, creeks and dams are fishing well.

With School Holidays underway now is …
