BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore fishing lately has been red hot. Plenty of big red emperor and coral trout have been caught. Most the reds have been caught on flesh bait and the trout have been caught on pilchard and 5” soft plastics. Remember to fish your favourite spots on the tide change. You can’t beat that bite time!

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE How good was the weather forecast last weekend! It was fantastic to see all our local boat ramps choc-o-block with trailers.

Plenty of cobia were also caught on the …

Step into spring What a change in the pattern of fishing since the snapper closure. Many anglers have reported solid snapper out wide with smaller fish in close or many sweetlip on their usual snapper spots.

AT this time of the year I probably should be saying get the flathead and snapper gear out but to tell you the truth it’s been a real mixed bag lately. So in saying that I’ve had to use pretty much every trick in the book to put my clients onto fish. This means that no matter whether we’ve been …
