G’DAY, Fred, we’ve been thinking about your phone calls to us over the years – the ones where you want to know why some of the things you have experienced haven’t been exactly as the Tide Guide predicted they would be. How can it be the top or bottom of the tide if I can still see the tide running? …

It’s been an extra-hot week here on the Gold Coast with temps hitting the mid 30’s at Coomera and the odd afternoon storm with an impressive lightning show. Let’s have a look at some fishing options. With the high daytime temps, humidity and the odd storm there has been plenty of extra-hot activity in the afternoon in the Coomera river …

We have had a gusty week on the Gold Coast this week with a few storms and some isolated showers that have made the fishing a bit of a challenge.

We’ve had a mixed bag of weather this week on the Gold Coast with big swells and tides early in the week then the odd storm followed by strong Southerly winds to finish off the week.

As another great week of weather on the Gold Coast comes to an end, let’s see what August has in store for anglers trying their luck. Reports of some quality fish including jewfish being landed this week around the Pin Bar entrance and also fishing the pipeline and north wall of the Gold Coast Seaway.  Drifting live Pike, Mullet, Yakkas …

Jewfish are suckers for live baits and large flesh baits. When fishing inshore, live yellowtail scad, poddy mullet, big herring and even live whiting (legal of course) are ideal baits. A good tip is to duck outside to the close bait reefs and load up on yakkas before fishing the seaway entrance. Using the larger baits helps keep the pickers …

What a wet and windy week we’ve had on the Gold Coast, lucky our Houseboat customers have plenty of good anchorages around the Broadwater and Jumpinpin to hide out of the wind and make the most of their time on the water.  Let’s have a look at options after the rain. Just as the Broadwater and Jumpinpin areas had started …
