Tackleworld – Bundaberg

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 …

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 …
