Tackleworld – Bundaberg

The offshore fishing around the Bundaberg area will be limited this weekend. This is due to the recent south-easterly change, so any form of offshore fishing will be coastal and around the river mouths. The early morning tops of the tides will be best. Best tides for Bundy There has been a few mackerel and tuna about, as well as a …

The mouth of the Burnett River has also sprung to life after the fresh.  There is heaps of bream along the rock walls, with some big grunter and some quality flathead further upstream, and some three-tooth jew and a few silver jew have been caught at the mouth of Rubyanna Creek. The Town Reach has also produced a few bream …

Looking into the weekend, the things are looking good around the Bundaberg area, but as always, keep an eye on up-to-date weather forecasts before heading out. The past week has seen some reasonable weather, allowing boats to head offshore, and with good tides, anglers reported some great catches.  Some monster coral trout were live-baited, and some quality sweetlip, parrot, cod …

Due to the amount of rain we have received over the past fortnight, writing a fishing report for the Bundaberg region will be a little difficult. If you are keen to wet a line this weekend, I would recommend fishing around our river mouths where I have seen some nice flathead, bream, whiting and grunter being caught. There is a …

After such a long dry spell, Bundaberg finally received some welcome rain last weekend.  The only problem was, when it started it didn’t know how to stop; with Bundaberg receiving around 250-300mm of rain on a single day. All our local rivers will be a little dirty from the local run off but should start to clear up towards the …

With the off shore forecast for the Bundaberg area not looking too good for the weekend, it is back up rivers and creeks for the keen anglers, and most of our local rivers have been fishing really well especially at the river mouth. Baffle Creek and the Kolan River have started to really turn on some great fishing with some …

A few anglers have been having some success in the Kolan River lately, with some nice barramundi being landed using 120mm Fangbaits and vibes. Good numbers of school mackerel, queenfish, and mac and longtail tuna have been caught right along our coastline from Woodgate up to 1770.  Floating pilchards on gang hooks and casting metal lures and retrieving at high …

The fishing around the region has been fantastic and this weekend’s Bundaberg weather forecast is looking good for the kids for the first weekend of the school holidays to get out and wet a line. This past week, the Burnett River has produced some really nice summer whiting around the shallow sand bars. Yabbies and fresh peeled prawns are two …

The past week has seen some interesting weather around the Bundaberg area.  The summer northerly winds have kicked in early, meaning the water temperatures will be on the rise and some of the summer species will be on the chew. Over the past few weeks we have seen a few barra and mangrove jacks being caught throughout most local estuary …

Well it seems we are in that transition period where both summer and winter species are being caught throughout the Bundaberg region. Quite a few mangrove jack and the odd barramundi have fired up in our local rivers in this past week.  As the water temperatures slowly start to rise, this action should also increase over the coming months. I …
