What a week of weather! Monday we had storms and hail followed by late afternoon storms mid-week and some swell to boot. This has left the offshore brigade thinking about their next trip and now is the perfect time to start planning for the up and coming pelagic season. Surf fishing is now a great option as the run off …

We finally got some rains on the sunny coast last week which has given the rivers a little flush. This has dropped the salinity and has seen some amazing flathead landed throughout the lower estuary to over a metre in length. These fish have been taking a wide range of soft plastics in the 3 inch range including power bait …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With the coral reef fin fish closure this weekend from the 6th to the 10th of October, the reef fishing will be off the cards.  With the magic-looking forecast you can still make the most out of it chasing pelagics.  The Five Degree Patch and the Fifteen Mile are always good places to start.  Trolling gar and Samaki …

THE fishing has been pretty good over the past month and should continue to be so. Fortunately the good weather has outshone the bad. Some snot weed is around, which is pretty normal for this time of year but nothing that can’t be dealt with. We’ve had both boats running charters this month, so we’ve been able to cover a …

In closer around Sunshine and Chardons Reef’s the bite was …

AT the end of my last article I mentioned I have been doing as much offshore fishing as I possibly can, and it’s safe to say I have become addicted to this awesome fishery right on our doorstep. I have been focusing the majority of my efforts on targeting big Brisbane snapper, but I have been picking away at a …

IT’S been a really good winter for fishos in southeast Queensland and this month should be no different. August is generally a very productive month for a wide range of species. The local flathead run will still be going strong and the jewfish and threadfin will remain active for anglers fishing Brisbane’s rivers and creeks. Good numbers of quality grunter …
