Local Reports

With the off shore forecast for the Bundaberg area not looking too good for the weekend, it is back up rivers and creeks for the keen anglers, and most of our local rivers have been fishing really well especially at the river mouth. Baffle Creek and the Kolan River have started to really turn on some great fishing with some …

With limited weather windows offshore, anglers have had to make the best of the conditions using a mix of bait and soft plastics. On the outer reefs like the Hards And the Barwon Banks, Cobia, Cod, Jewfish and larger Snapper in the 4-6KG range have been getting caught on a wide range of soft plastics, the 7” Berkley Nemesis and …

A few anglers have been having some success in the Kolan River lately, with some nice barramundi being landed using 120mm Fangbaits and vibes. Good numbers of school mackerel, queenfish, and mac and longtail tuna have been caught right along our coastline from Woodgate up to 1770.  Floating pilchards on gang hooks and casting metal lures and retrieving at high …

It’s been great to see all our Houseboats customers out on the water having fun this week for school holidays.

Matt and Connie enjoyed their houseboat holiday …

The wind seeming to pick up mid-morning most of last week so anglers got out early and made the run for home as soon as the breeze picked up on the Sunny Coast.

The fishing around the region has been fantastic and this weekend’s Bundaberg weather forecast is looking good for the kids for the first weekend of the school holidays to get out and wet a line.

The first week of September has seen a return of warm NW winds with a mix of W/SW and Sunshine on the Gold Coast. We have plenty of Houseboats out enjoying the fishing this week, let’s see what’s been biting. I have noticed a few local anglers getting into targeting Mangrove Jack the last couple of weeks in the Coomera …

The past week has seen some interesting weather around the Bundaberg area.  The summer northerly winds have kicked in early, meaning the water temperatures will be on the rise and some of the summer species will be on the chew. Over the past few weeks we have seen a few barra and mangrove jacks being caught throughout most local estuary …

Well spring is finally here and with a bit of luck those winds that have keep a lot of boats close in will abate and let us get out to the reefs.
