Tackleworld – Bundaberg

Some nice muddies have also been caught, so let’s hope this continues and everyone gets a good feed. BURNETT RIVER The Burnett has cleaned up nicely for Easter with the better water quality the fishing has been awesome.  Good numbers of bream are hanging around most of the rock walls as well as some nice whiting and flathead further upstream …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE AND INSHORE REEFS We were lucky enough to get a spell of good weather around the Bundaberg area earlier this week, allowing a few boats to head out in among the action.  Most of the inshore reefs produced plenty of pelagic action, with heaps of queenfish, trevally and mackerel all being caught.  There has been a good mix …

As I’m sure you can all understand, writing the fish report for this week was a little difficult due to the low pressure system that moved down the south-eastern Queensland coastline during the past few days. BUNDABERG OFFSHORE AND INSHORE REEFS Even though the weather system has moved offshore by now, any offshore fishing will still be limited. Your best …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Earlier in the week was the chance to head out reef fishing on the Bundaberg offshore grounds as that south-east blow has come through and it looks like things will be a bit rough for at least the next week.  Anyone who was lucky enough to have made it out scored really well with some big coral trout, …

The lads who ventured offshore last weekend all reported catching quality mixed reef fish, including coral trout, red emperor, sweetlip and parrot.  Let’s hope the weather improves over the coming weeks and months so more locals can enjoy the fantastic mixed reef fishing the Bundaberg area has to offer. The Elliott and Kolan Rivers are also a little dirty with …

Looking into the weekend’s forecast for Bundaberg, it’s not looking too bad for a run offshore and with perfect tides the fishing should be great, but please make sure you are up to date with the latest weather forecasts before heading out as things can change at any time. If the conditions stay good there will be plenty of fish …

Well, it doesn’t usually happen, but the weather around the Bundaberg area was better than the predicted forecast last weekend.  A lot of anglers made the most of the good conditions and took the opportunity to head offshore.  Let’s hope this happens again this weekend, because some of the fish caught in close was very impressive and fishos will be …

Looking into the weekend’s forecast, it’s not looking too flash for any offshore fishing around the Bundaberg area, so it looks like the local rivers and creeks will be where it’s at again for this week. With the recent rain we have had, this has only fired up the condition of the local river systems and has improved the fishing. …

By now, everyone should have recovered from the Australia Day celebrations and are either back at school or work for another big year. The good news for all the barra fishers is the barra season opened up again at midday on the 1st of February for all of the rivers around the Bundaberg area. With the full moon on Wednesday …

Looking forward into the Australia Day long weekend, the offshore forecast for the Bundaberg area isn’t looking too good, but the general forecast for a bit of camping and fishing in the Bundaberg rivers and creeks is still looking fair. As for the fishing this past week, if you were lucky enough to brave the weather and get offshore last …
