With a few days of opportunity early in the week, the local reefs were the popular options. Sunshine Reef has certainly been popular and for good reason. Good catches of cobia, coral trout, mackerel and tuna are at the top of the list. Other species in the mix include snapper, tusk fish, pearlies and various cod species. We still have …

SCHOOL holidays are possibly not the best time to be out fishing, with increased traffic at boat ramps and on the waterways, however we made the best of this busy period by heading north to Lake Proserpine (Peter Faust Dam). The journey was timed beautifully on New Year’s Eve when we left our home on the southside of Brisbane at …

What a difference in the weather we have had this week. With a peak in the swell and the winds the bar has been off limits to everyone until the weekend finally gave anglers a narrow window of opportunity to go for a quick fish. With the tides low at first light it certainly paid off to wait until there …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week. Early mornings and late afternoons have been the best time to go fishing with the extra hot days this week. With a strong South to South Easterly change on the way for the weekend the protected rivers and canals will be the best option to hide out of the wind. Local …

WITH the weather behaving itself this past month, we’ve been lucky enough to hit the water and get a few charters in Moreton Bay. The main species around at the moment is still flathead, which has been fantastic. They are in good size and numbers. Squire/snapper are about too and for some fun on light gear trevally have been poking …

Offshore we’ve seen more consistent weather lately. The inshore reefs of Sunshine, Chardons, Halls and of course Jew shoal are all providing action in the form of Spanish mackerel, spotty mackerel, tuna and cobia. The action has been thick and fast with many great fish biting many anglers off or getting sharked. While you can’t prevent the sharks, using a …

Hi Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week, it’s fantastic news to finally see some much needed rain on the Gold Coast.  Hopefully the rain will give the waterways a bit of a flush out and stir up the Crabs and Fish. Let’s have a look at what’s been biting. Mud Crabs are a great option to target after …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The offshore forecast for the Bundaberg area could go either way this weekend, so keep an eye on it and check the latest updates before heading out.  The new moon was earlier this week and we are on the building moon so the fishing should be pretty hot out there.  Targeting red emperor and coral trout in the …

THE new year has once again kicked off at a pace many of us cannot keep up with, but among the frantic rush of the ‘silly season’ a fisher must get his or her fix, regardless of the crowds. How might you improve your odds in a time of mayhem when enough boats are on the water to require a …

Spotties in the bay! Yes we finally had a narrow window of opportunity mid-week for the offshore crew to tangle with a few of these early season speedsters. Reports of bait balls the size of double decker busses, flocks of seagulls with tuna and mackerel chopping the water were coming through thick and fast. Sunshine reef down toward Caloundra was …
