BURNETT RIVER The trusty old Burnett River keeps producing some quality fishing. There has still been a good number of big grunter about and plenty of cod and mangrove jacks being caught along the rock walls by live-baiting or using weedless rigged soft plastics, with Zerek Live Cherabins being a standout. Some of the sand flats have produced some quality …

BURNETT RIVER The Burnett has been fishing awesome with plenty of cracker grunter and flathead being caught! The standout way to target them has been throwing 10g and 20g Samaki soft vibes over gravel beds and shallow sand bars. There has also been plenty of good sized mangrove jacks caught on the shallow rock bars at low tide. Flicking small …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With some nice weather around the Bundaberg area earlier in the week, it was fantastic to see quite a few large boats gear up and head out to the reefs.  By all reports the anglers who put in the effort were well rewarded with some nice mixed bags of coral trout, red emperor, sweetlip, cod and parrot. BUNDABERG …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore forecast for the Bundaberg area could go either way this weekend, so keep an eye on it and check the latest updates before heading out.  The new moon was earlier this week and we are on the building moon so the fishing should be pretty hot out there.  Targeting red emperor and coral trout in the …

How good is it to live in this part of Australia at this time of the year?  I’m sure everyone enjoyed their Australia Day celebrations, and it was great to see so many anglers around the Bundaberg area out wetting a line last weekend. BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Finally, there was a small window in the weather for a few of the …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE We were really lucky around the Bundaberg area that earlier in the week we had a small window of reasonable weather that allowed a few boats to head offshore.  Although the weather didn’t quite turn out as forecast, those who braved the conditions caught some quality fish, including coral trout, parrot, sweetlip and a few big cod.  There …

INSHORE REEFS It looks like we are finally going to get some weather good enough to fish the inshore reefs! There should be plenty of mackerel action all up the coast with the full moon being in our favour. Fast-retrieving 35g and 50g Flasha spoons off the bottom is one of the most exciting and effective ways to catch the …

Firstly, I hope everyone has had a good break over the Christmas/New Year period, recharged your batteries and are looking forward to a bigger and better 2019, both on and off the water. Unfortunately the forecast for the Bundaberg area is looking pretty windy along the coast for the next few days, but as always, check the latest forecast before …

Well, it’s that time of the year again – Christmas is almost here, and by now I’m sure Santa should have all his gifts wrapped ready for his annual trip around Australia. Unfortunately for the farmers there wasn’t anywhere near the rain that was forecast out of ex-tropical cyclone Owen, but on the plus side, none of the impoundments over-flowed …

THE BURNETT RIVER The Burnett River fished very well over the weekend with awesome reports of grunter, bream, flathead and whiting!  With the smaller tides this weekend it will pay to fish with very lightly-weighted baits and soft plastics.  With the very little run in the tide, making your bait or soft plastic look as natural as possible will be …
