This month, we’ve been lucky enough to sneak a few days out on the water and seeing a few fathers with their kids has been a good thing.  teach The catalyst for getting the young anglers on the water was to firstly see if they enjoyed fishing from a boat. So, the dads are coming out to learn a bit …

Hi everyone,  It is the time of year that our favourite season for local estuary fishing starts. The water is cooling, which brings a change of species, including flathead, flounder, tailor, jewfish, winter whiting, blue swimmer crab and squid in bigger sizes and numbers compared to warmer months. Something I love doing is trying new lures, and lately I’ve added …

April is an excellent month to chase a feed of the fish and crustaceans available from around southeast Queensland. The air and water temperatures will begin to drop as the weather cools, and the days will get shorter. It’s been a dry start to the year, with very little rain falling throughout February and March. The lack of rain sees …

After some time away from fishing, renovating to sell, moving north and getting re-established, adventure angler and Tackle Tactics professional angler Robbie Wells wanted to share his thought process and preparation for getting back on the road, on the water and into fishing.

Easter is a time to overindulge in chocolate, to have a great time outside with family and friends, and to lose tackle… that’s right, go fishing! Our waterways have seen some incredible changes over the past 12 months. After the flooding last year, we had so much debris wash into the creeks and rivers, it fed the system with much …

Great friend and regular hunting companion Michael Sunner accepted the invitation for an early start to run a few lures around to see …

G’day crew, I hope you have all been well and are now back to normal after the holiday rush – wasn’t the town busy! I say it all the time but it’s so good to see new faces getting around for the holiday season and enjoying our little slice of paradise. What’s even better is catching up with revisiting holiday …

Well, so far we have dodged any very bad weather, apart from a lot of wind and huge swell from the cyclone that slid past out at sea. Let’s hope any future intense systems follow the same route and leave us to have a nice spring for a change. Fishing throughout the Clarence Valley region during February was fairly good …
