BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Well, we were lucky enough around the Bundaberg area to get a break in the weather earlier in the week allowing us to get offshore, and by all accounts everyone caught fish.

There have been no complaints coming from Double Island with anglers landing large red emperor as well as scarlet sea peach and nice gold band snapper.

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE It was fantastic to see a small break in the windy conditions around the Bundaberg area during this past week.  For some reef fishermen it has been months between outings, but this weekend and the first few days of next week are looking good to get out offshore and re-stock the freezers.  With no one being able to …

Some of the sand flats have produced some quality …
