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 …

Well, we have seen some interesting weather this week from Cyclone Debbie. She left her mark up north and dumped some rain along the coast as it moved inland.

It’s been another great start to the year on the fishing scene around the Bundaberg region. Unfortunately the south-easterlies are predicted to pick up to around the 20-25 knots this weekend, restricting any offshore fishing trips.

Well, it looks like there’s a chance the anglers around the Bundaberg area may get offshore this weekend.  The tides for the weekend are looking spot on, meaning minimal run, making it easier to fish most of the smaller patches of reef.  Hopefully the fish will be on the chew. During the last lot of good offshore weather we had, …
