Tackleworld – Bundaberg

How good was it earlier this week to see a few days of great weather? This meant that plenty of boats got offshore from Bundaberg and out along the coast. There was action aplenty out wide with coral trout, sweetlip, cod, cobia and Spanish mackerel all being caught. The smaller boats that fished the inshore reefs also got some quality …

With a bit of luck, this weekend’s Bundaberg forecast isn’t looking too bad.  The southeasterlies are predicted to blow less than 15 knots, which may present a small window for the bigger boats to explore the wider grounds. With the full moon during this week, there will be bigger tides around Bundy this weekend, but it should be worth a …

Wasn’t it great to finally see some decent weather earlier this past week?  By all reports quite a few locals made time to wet a line on the Bundaberg inshore reefs and in the rivers last weekend. The lighter winds allowed anglers to explore the inshore reefs along our coastline which, at the moment seem to be loaded with school, …

There were a couple of good days of weather earlier this week around the Bundaberg area, allowing some boats to head out and along the coast. Most of the inshore reefs produced some quality fishing.  There are good numbers of school and grey mackerel moving offshore, with the odd big spanish mackerel mixed in with them.  Most of the spanish …

I hope everyone enjoyed a little time off over the Easter break. By now, I’m guessing there aren’t too many Easter eggs left in the basket. Once again, we were fortunate to receive some pretty good weather around the Bundaberg area over this period and by all reports, a lot of anglers made the most of the good conditions either …

Looking forward into the Easter break, it seems it’s going to be a cracker for any outdoor activities around the Bundaberg area. A good weather forecast has predicted light winds and sunny days for most of the break. Easter options for Bundaberg The past week has seen most of our local river systems starting to clean up, especially down around the …

What a difference a good bit of weather makes to the Bundaberg area!  Last weekend was one of the first weekends in a long time that the reef boys could get out and try to target some quality reef fish.  By all reports the boats that ventured out from Burnett Heads and 1770 all caught a good feed of coral …

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 …
