Tackleworld – Bundaberg

The Kolan River would probably be my pick for chasing a barra or mangrove jack this weekend.  Casting soft plastics and suspending hard body lures over rock bars and at any structure you find should trigger a strike. Once again, the small black marlin and sailfish have showed up in good numbers around the tip of Fraser Island.  We’ve heard …

This should be the perfect recipe to get the barra on the chew, as we’re predicting that there will be quite a few barra weighed in.  Most of the Tackle World Bundaberg team will be attending the weekend, so come up and say “G’day”. If you can’t make it up to Monduran this year there will be heaps of fishing …

We’ve heard of quite a few nice barramundi caught in both systems last weekend on soft plastics and suspending hard body lures.  There was also reports of heaps of estuary cod and flathead, which were a welcome bycatch. The Win Television Monduran Family Fishing Classic will be held on 17th and 18th of October this year.  This is always a …

With fresh southeasterly winds once again predicted for the Bundaberg area to spoil any offshore action this weekend, it looks like any fishing for the last weekend of the school holidays will be restricted to the Bundaberg rivers and impoundments. Baffle Creek has produced the goods this week.  As the daytime temperatures slowly increase we can expect species such as jacks …

With the weather forecast not looking great for this weekend with fresh south-easterlies predicted, fishing will be restricted to our local rivers and dams which are both producing some nice fish. Across the Waves fishing club had another successful outing last weekend. By all reports, the Burnett river still produced the goods with some nice bream, 3 tooth jew, blue …

Hope all the Dads have recovered from Father’s Day last Sunday and made the most of the magic weather we experienced around the Bundaberg area last weekend. The boats that did head offshore all reported catching a good feed of both pelagic and reef fish.  Good numbers of Spanish mackerel were caught out further offshore, as were heaps of school …

With the first signs of summer starting to show up, the warm northerly breezes are starting to lift the water temperatures around the Bundaberg area. The only downfall with the full moon will be the amount of run in the tide for the offshore anglers as there will be over three metres difference between high and low tides for the …

The annual VMR Family Fishing Classic will be held over this weekend at the VMR base at Burnett Heads. This year there is over $50,000 in prizes including two boats to be won. By the number of entry forms we’ve received in store at Tackle World, it looks like there will be a record number of entries. Once again this …

A round of the ABT Bass Electric Series was held at Lake Gregory last Sunday.  By all reports the fishing was a little tough but most local Bundy anglers managed to land their bag limit.  Local legend Dave Magner took out the event, weighing in two nice bass he caught by casting at schooled fish in the deeper water.  Dave …
