BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Last weekend quite a few anglers took advantage of the good conditions and by all reports the boats that headed out wide were very well rewarded.  Big coral trout, red emperor, sweetlip and cod were common catches.  Other catches included dolphin fish, spanish mackerel and black king (cobia) taken by floating either live or dead baits out behind …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE How awesome was the offshore weather around the Bundaberg region during this past week?  This did allow plenty of boats to head well offshore, and everywhere from the gutter, to the islands and out to the shelf all fished really well.  Most of the gutters produced some quality parrot, grass sweetlip, cod and the odd trout.  Out around …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Well the cooler weather has definitely hit the Bundaberg region this past week, and it’s looking like the south-easterlies should ease just in time to wet a line this weekend.  Quite a few boats opted to head offshore last weekend and were rewarded with some top catches.  Plenty of coral trout, big red emperor, sweetlip, hussar and parrot …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Well, it’s about time – the forecast for the Bundaberg area for this weekend is fantastic with light winds predicted all weekend.  Quite a few boats took advantage of the good conditions last week and, despite a lot of run in the tide with the full moon, that night most boats managed to land a quality mixed bag …

A few blue salmon, tarpon and queenfish have showed up in the Town Reach.  Whilst it is early in the season, it’s great fun to target these hard-fighting sports fish.  Once again, there’s been some good mud crabs and prawns in the deeper holes in the Burnett. BAFFLE CREEK AND THE KOLAN RIVER Both of these systems are fishing extremely …

There is still plenty to be caught in this system with big numbers of bream getting about.  Most of the bream have been caught by using chicken breast as bait.  There is still plenty of whiting, flathead and sicklefish about on the sand flats, and this should only get better leading into the full moon.  The mid reaches of the …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE A little break in the weather at the end of the week saw a few guys hit a few of the coastal offshore reefs off Bundaberg.  Most of the offshore reefs not too far from shore such as Ryans, the Two Mile and the Cochrane Artificial all produced a quality feed.  Some big grunter, grass sweetlip and a …

LAKE MONDURAN This awesome barra impoundment has really fired up this week.  Barra to 92cm have been responding well to hard body lures and soft vibes jigged vertically off the bottom.  Good news is that the dam received around 4500 barra fingerlings last Saturday morning.  These fingerlings were all about 15cm to 20cm in length and looked very happy in …

BAFFLE CREEK AND THE KOLAN RIVER Both of these systems have really started to clean up and come good, with some really good quality fish being caught.  The mouths are producing plenty of whiting and flathead with a few big grunter coming out of the channels.  Further upstream along the rock banks and deeper holes there has been a good …

Well, another week has zipped by and left us with more wind, so unfortunately there will be no more offshore fishing for the Bundaberg area for at least another week.  On the plus side, most of the local rivers, creeks and dams are fishing well. BAFFLE CREEK AND THE KOLAN RIVER Both of these systems have really started to clean …
