All along the Bundaberg coastline you will see birds working …

OFFSHORE Bundaberg fishing With the smaller tides this weekend, reef fishing should be on in the deep and shallows. March and April are a couple of my favourite months of year for chasing big red emperor, so be sure to drop some big flesh bait down around the 40m mark. Fingers crossed the weather plays the game and remember to …

OFFSHORE Bundaberg fishing Offshore fishing has really been turning it on lately… when the weather is playing the game. Coral trout have definitely been the standout fish, caught in good numbers offshore. Fishing for trout using pilchard is the best technique to get a feed but using soft plastics can also be a deadly way to catch them. Fingers crossed …

BUNDABERG INSHORE REEFS The inshore reefs have been producing some very good-sized queenfish. Targeting them with poppers on the surface, is great fun and is super effective. Halco Roosta Poppers are my go-to for them. There’ve been plenty of school mackerel being caught too. Fast retrieving Flasha Spoons vertically off the bottom and floating out pilchard is the way to …
