BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Looking into the weekend’s forecast for the Bundaberg area, it looks okay for offshore at present with Sunday looking to be the best of the two days.

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Unfortunately, the offshore forecast is very unstable at this point in time.  It will be a matter of checking the updated forecast and then call it on Friday afternoon.  With the small tides this weekend the deep should be firing.  The numbers of cobia, reds, snapper and trout have been unreal.  The standout baits have been pilchards for …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Luckily the forecast did live up to expectations last weekend, and it was fantastic to see so many boats making the most of the magic conditions fishing offshore from Bundaberg.  The boats that did the miles definitely got the smiles with anglers landing some top quality reef fish including some big coral trout, red emperor, red throat sweetlip …

VMR FAMILY FISHING CLASSIC How good was last weekend’s VMR Family Fishing Classic?  It was fantastic to see that the number of nominations was more than last year’s event.  Even though the weather was a little bit ordinary, keen anglers still managed to weigh in some quality fish from both the estuaries and the blue water.   With the amount of …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the winds around the Bundaberg area being a little bit too strong for fishing well offshore, most of the fishing options have been coastal and out to the inner reefs.  The Cochrane Artificial Reef and the Two-Mile Reef both produced a few school mackerel, trevally, grass sweetlip and grunter.  There has been a few schools of mac …
