Fishing options for Noosa River – With some large seas and a bit of wind anglers fished the river over the weekend.

The lead up to the new moon we really saw the fishing fire up, in the lower estuary some great catches of queenfish, trevally and tailor taken on surface and with plastics around the bridges and in Woods Bays.
