BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Now that it’s open season on snapper and pearl perch, all our local reef fisherman can once again get out and chase both species.  Even though the conditions weren’t great, the anglers who were lucky enough to have some time off earlier this week and ventured offshore all reported catching a quality mixed bag of reef fish including …

BUNDABERG INSHORE For the boats that want to get out over the weekend, the reefs in close aren’t looking too bad. Good size grunter have been reported using large fresh prawns. If you don’t mind a good feed of whiting, north of the Leeds and near the lighthouse spoil grounds is where most schools hold. Using beach worms, cut up …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Once again there might be some small windows of opportunity to get out and wet a line off Bundaberg this weekend. The few boats that headed out last weekend, though it was a little rougher than the forecast, managed to land plenty of impressive reef fish, including coral trout, green jobfish, red emperor, grass sweetlip and parrot. Let’s …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE For those who didn’t manage to get out over the last weekend certainly missed out – with the weather being so good the smaller boats had a chance to head a bit further offshore.  There were reports of quality red emperor, coral trout, redthroat sweetlip and parrot being common catches.  The weather around the Bundaberg area for this …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Lately, we’ve seen ripper fishing off Bundaberg and 1770!  Plenty of trophy-sized coral trout and red emperor has been caught.  Using pilchards and live baits will get you into some tasty trout, and big flesh baits will get you some red emperor action.  Remember to fish the tide change, as that one hour on the tide change can …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE At this stage the offshore forecast for the Bundaberg area is looking fantastic for this weekend.  Plenty of big boats ventured out offshore in the first week of the school holidays between Burnett Heads and 1770.  Plenty of coral trout, red emperor, red throat emperor, grass sweetlip and hussar have been on the chew around the offshore reefs.  …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the weather around the Bundaberg area being a bit up and down over the past week, Saturday is looking like the best day for the weekend. There have been good reports of fish with red emperor, coral trout and grass sweetlip the best catches. As always, make sure to check the latest weather report before heading out. …

BUNDABERG INSHORE Some cracking snapper and grunter have been caught around the Bundaberg area over the past week.  The Four Mile Reef and the Cochrane Artificial Reef off Elliot Heads have been the hot spots.  Drifting over the top and the edges of the Four Mile working soft plastics and soft vibes will get you into the action.  At the …

BUNDABERG INSHORE With the weather around the Bundaberg area looking a bit up and down over the past week, Sunday is looking to be the best day on the weekend to poke your nose out the front to have a fish.  There have been plenty of schoolie mackerel along the coast.  Try trolling smaller hard bodies or casting smaller chrome …

BUNDABERG INSHORE The Bundaberg inshore reefs have been producing some cracking grunter and snapper.  Some of the grunter have been 70cm plus.  My favourite way to chase both of these fish on the Bundaberg inshore reefs is by working Samaki 20g vibes all through the water column.  Looking at your sounder and finding the bait will put you in the …
