Tackleworld – Bundaberg

Well around the Bundaberg area we sure have copped our fair share of rain over the past week, sending more fresh down most of our river systems.  This will make the fishing very interesting, as this will push most of the species back down towards the river mouths. There has been a good number of bream about with some topping …

With Christmas only a few weeks away, I’m sure all the school children and parents can’t wait to get out and wet a line over the break. This week around the Bundaberg area there have been some nice school mackerel and Spanish mackerel caught on our shallow inshore reefs. Early each morning is the go before the dreaded south-easterlies pick …

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 …

With two significant rain events in as many weeks around the Bundaberg region, the chance to get out and wet a line has been limited. 2017 Lake Monduran Family Fishing Classic The Annual Lake Monduran Family Fishing Classic was held last weekend.  This is always a fantastic weekend and this year was no exception.  Luckily enough the rain stayed away for …

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 …
