It’s looking like there will be a bit of a blow coming through the Bundaberg and offshore areas over the weekend, with 15-20 knots forecast, so it’s looking like the offshore fishing will get a bit of a rest.

Last weekend it was awesome to see so many bigger boats out on the water making the most of the magic weather conditions around the Bundaberg area.
