After such a long dry spell, Bundaberg finally received some welcome rain last weekend.  The only problem was, when it started it didn’t know how to stop; with Bundaberg receiving around 250-300mm of rain on a single day.

The Noosa River has been really firing over the last week of school holidays, good numbers of quality whiting being taken on live worms and yabbies along Gympie Terrace and around the dog beach.  Whiting have also been taken on surface lures like the River2sea Skinny Dogs in the 65mm size. The Frying Pan and the shallows of Weyber Creek …
