BUNDABERG INSHORE The schoolie mackerel have been thick around the Bundaberg area over the past week.  Fast-retrieving Flasha spoons vertically off the bottom and trolling medium size hardbody lures will get you a nice feed.  In order to get the bite, remember not to use wire for schoolies – stick to 80lb leader. BURNETT RIVER The Burnett River has been …

BUNDABERG INSHORE With the Coral Reef Fin Fish closure finished now we can get back into it.  There is still some school mackerel being caught using metal lures retrieved quickly back to the boat, or by dropping them to the bottom and then retrieving them back to the top.  Floating out a well-presented pilchard should also land a mackerel or …

BUNDABERG INSHORE With the Coral Reef Fin Fish closure being from  the 14th to the 18th of October,  the reef fishing around the Bundaberg area will be out of the picture this weekend.  Lucky there’s plenty of schoolie mackerel on the inshore reefs to keep us amused.  Fast-retrieving Flasha spoons off the bottom and sinking lightly-weighted pilchards to the bottom …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Finally, at this stage the forecast for the Bundaberg area for this weekend is looking okay for the offshore anglers to sneak out and have a crack.  Due to the ordinary weather we have had for the past few weeks, we have not had many reports so fingers crossed there will be plenty of trophy fish caught this …

BUNDABERG INSHORE The schoolie mackerel have turned up along the Bundaberg coastline in awesome numbers over the past week.  Pretty much every patch of structure from Burnett Heads to Elliott Heads that holds bait will have mackerel all over it.  Even the guys fishing off the rocks have been getting their share.  Fast-retrieving metal slugs and lightly weighting pilchards will …

BURNETT RIVER With the warmer weather here the …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The weather for the Bundaberg area over the next few days isn’t looking best for offshore anglers.  It’s time to dust off the smaller tinnies and move into the river systems. Always check your local forecast before heading out. BURNETT RIVER Spring is here, with the weather feeling like winter one day and summer the next. Put the …

Firstly, we hope all the Dad’s out there were spoilt rotten and had a fantastic Father’s Day last weekend.  Unfortunately, the weather forecast for the Bundaberg area for this coming weekend isn’t the best, which will restrict most of the fishing action back into the local rivers and impoundments.  Remember to always check the latest forecast before going to throw …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE We are heading into my favourite time of year for chasing the big red emperor!  Big flesh baits and live baits are definitely the key to get them.  Also, the trout fishing has been pretty amazing even in the closer patches like the Fifteen Mile and the Eighteen Mile.  I’ve seen plenty caught over that magic 6.5kg mark.  …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the weather forecast looking a bit ordinary for this weekend, it’s time to do a little bit of boat and trailer maintenance.  Change those bearings and grease the trailer, fix any electrical problems on the boat and just give the boat a good tidy-up.  Also, check to see if your rods and reels need any maintenance.  If …
