We have seen good numbers of flathead being caught throughout the Broadwater and Jumpinpin area the past few weeks.  The key is to find were the fish are and more than likely you will land multiple schooling fish within a small area.  Best areas to look are river mouths on the run out tide, junctions in channels and river systems, …

After the strong cold Westerly winds last weekend it was nice to see the Sunshine this week matched with light winds made for some great fishing weather on the Gold Coast for the first week of school holidays. The weekend is looking good, let’s see what’s been happening this week. Customers have been getting amongst some nice Flathead this week, …

Wind, wind and more wind on the Gold Coast this week, with offshore fishing off limits due to wind and swell anglers stuck to the local rivers out of the wind in the Broadwater and Jumpinpin to try their luck. We had plenty of Houseboats out over the ANZAC Long Weekend fishing and crabbing, we have lots of good fishing …

These fish can be a bit tedious to clean but are beautiful eating – almost as nice as whiting. The recent summer whiting season in the Nerang River was a bit different to seasons past, with a lot less rain than normal seeing the moon phases influencing the numbers and quality of fish more than usual. Good numbers of excellent-quality whiting …

While targeting Mangrove Jack we have seen some good size Estuary Cod and Trevally who like to frequent the same areas.  Best baits are live Mullet or Herring, for the lure fishermen both soft plastics and hard body’s work well depending of the areas you are targeting. Good numbers of solid Whiting have been caught this week throughout the Broadwater, …

However we needed to find more fish. We checked a few different areas but the water clarity was fairly ordinary. And being the Gold Coast on a Saturday, the boat traffic was thick too. Eventually we found an area where the traffic wasn’t too bad and the water clarity was reasonable. We started trolling with small hard-bodies and it wasn’t long before …

Another standard feature of the Stessco Bowrider 490 is a rear lounge with backrest. The rear lounge offers not only comfortable seating but doubles as a large storage area where you can keep a variety of items in easy reach. Two large side pockets provide extra storage, as do the compartments under the bowrider section. The driving position was fairly good and …
