I have managed to nail a couple of good fish including jewfish, snapper, cod and my mate even managed one cracking bream at 44.5cm. Every one of these fish has come on 95mm Zerek Fish Trap vibes. Another interesting thing I’ve learnt is running a good-quality, abrasion-resistant braid is very beneficial. My mate Liam learnt this very quickly as he …

I am very excited about the fishing to come due to the good flood. Awesome times are ahead. Now just a little political thing.I hate getting into politics but this is probably going to be our best chance to take some action due to the Fisheries Reform as part of the Queensland Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017-2027. We need to see …

We’ve had a bit of a mixed bag of weather on the Gold Coast this week, seeing hot NW over the weekend before the return of the SE winds and a few showers mid-week. Let’s have a look at what’s been biting. The water temp has started to cool down a bit as we head toward the end of April,  …

It’s been one of those weeks on the Gold Coast with a strong south easterly wind kicking in on Tuesday and showers making fishing conditions tough. We were lucky to have a good weekend and our customers made the most of the conditions scoring a feed of fish and crabs. We have seen some good catches of Mud Crabs around …

It’s been a bit of a windy week on the Gold Coast, with the southeasterlies persisting. The wind is tipped to ease for the weekend thank goodness, let’s see what’s been biting this week. Customers have been able to find a few good spots in the rivers and around Jumpinpin to hide out of the wind this week and caught …

Luckily though, a change in wind direction to the south had virtually overnight pushed the warmer, blue water back in. How, you might ask? In very simple terms, persistent northeasterlies move large amounts of warmer surface water towards the beach. This water then gets pushed or sucked back out to the left (in the southern hemisphere) and out to sea. …

After a windy start to the week it’s nice to finally see the South Easterly winds start to ease and hopefully by the weekend the swell would have dropped enough to sneak offshore for a look. The sheltered waters were the places to look and Jumpinpin and Broadwater fishing has been the best bet to find a few fish and …

The same areas as last week are still fishing well, and trolling the reefs between 18 to 36 fathom line off the Gold Coast and Jumpinpin is the go for pelagic action on the Gold Coast. Best tips are to find the birds that are finding the bait and you should be lucky enough to find the fish. Trolling small …

Brett is away on annual leave for a week or so, no doubt chasing a few fish and I am sure he will have a story or two for you on his return and some photos to go with it. After a bit of rain last weekend the weather cleared on the Gold Coast to a pretty nice week, we …

The presentations were concluded and we managed to sneak into the top 10 in the three-man division, with the Whyte brothers absolutely schooling the rest of the field and Brendon Whyte taking out champion angler with an amazingly high score. This team really is the benchmark for other teams to try to reach.The brothers fish so well together they’re like …
