DO you remember this time last year? With COVID-19 closing many areas including freshwater dams, lakes and parks as well as beach access and restricting charter operations, this year is very different… with no closures. We sure are lucky to live up here in paradise! Noosa variety April is one of the best months to catch pelagics with North, Halls, …

WELL, it’s been a while between articles but after a crazy 2020, which I’m sure many experienced, I’ll endeavor to try a little harder this year. I did manage an epic trip to Swain Reefs in my 7m boat and followed this up with a drive to the central Queensland coastline near Yeppoon, where we fished from the Shoalwater Bay …

With the start of the week providing blustery and wet conditions it felt like it was here to stay. Although this stopped a lot of anglers from heading out it did give the seas a break from boat traffic. The flooding rains have pushed a lot of bait out into the bays and as predicted the longtail have followed. Nearing …

BY the time this publication hits there should be a chill in the air as we move well into autumn fishing in Gladstone. The change of weather means the fish species we target will slowly change from barramundi and mangrove jack to blue threadfin salmon and grunter.

G’DAY crew, hope you are all well and have been able to get out and enjoying our beautiful Tin Can Bay over the holiday period. So how has 2021 been treating you all, full of bent rods and fresh fish I hope? We have been flat out at the shop the past few weeks – our feet have barely had …

The rivers, creeks and beaches are looking like the place to fish. For the anglers that got out over the past week, there was some nice spanish mackerel, tuna and school mackerel caught. BURNETT RIVER With the …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE How good was it to see so many big boats out and about last weekend around the Bundaberg region? Good news is that most boats managed to secure a quality mixed bag of reef fish including red emperor, coral trout, grass sweetlip, and parrot. On the other side, nearly every boat reported losing lots of trophy reef fish …

OK, so December and January have come and gone, the festive season is over and most of us are back into the grind called work. Many of us are not fishing as often as we’d prefer, juggling work, kids and house duties and when we do get out, it’s for possibly rushed trips with bad tides and difficult conditions. CQ …

Hi Everyone, hope you have all had a good week and a nice start to the New Year. Last weekend and early this week were the pick for getting out and trying your luck as the weekend is looking windy with a blow moving in from the South East bringing in a bit of swell with it. Best to stick …
