INSHORE & OFFSHORE Bundaberg fishing Welcome back to another Bundaberg fishing report and what a report this is going to be. Mackerel and tuna are in full flight, and I mean literally jumping out of the water chasing bait after smashing through bait schools at a great rate of knots. 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 With the recent weather patterns, most of the offshore spots haven’t seen much action and fishers have been chomping at the bit to get out wide. There should be some nice fish caught on slack tides this weekend. We have a full moon so there will be a fair bit of run, but the top and bottom …

OFFSHORE / INSHORE Bundaberg fishing The weather at this period of time is looking OK for the bigger boats that want to get out and have a bottom bash. Good reports from the previous week with catches of red emperor, coral trout and grass sweetlip all coming onboard. For smaller boats… get out early before the wind picks up. There …

OFFSHORE / INSHORE Bundaberg fishing The weather this weekend looks like it is going to play the game, so this will be the chance to get out and chase those bigger reef species such as coral trout, red emperor and grassy sweetlip. There have also been a few nice pelagics caught off the coast. With the recent weather, we’ve not …

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 …

INSHORE REEFS At the stage of writing this report, the marine weather forecast for the weekend is looking half decent, considering last weekend was blowing a gale. Always check the weather before heading out because as we know, it changes faster than the weatherman can predict sometimes. Friday morning until Saturday lunch will be your best shot at filling the …

INSHORE REEFS With the weather for this weekend looking unpredictable and not looking too good for offshore, it’s time for some maintenance or to get a few jobs that need attending to on the boat. If you do venture out, ensure to check the latest weather report. Bundaberg BURNETT RIVER Over the past two months, the Burnett River has had …

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 …

BUNDABERG INSHORE/OFFSHORE With the weather report for this weekend not looking very good, the creeks and rivers will be the place to be.
