This month, we’ve been lucky enough to sneak a few days out on the water and seeing a few fathers with their kids has been a good thing.  teach The catalyst for getting the young anglers on the water was to firstly see if they enjoyed fishing from a boat. So, the dads are coming out to learn a bit …

Inshore/Offshore fishing This weekend should see the wind ease up so we can head offshore to target a few reef species and with the build up to full moon they should be hungry. With these cooler mornings we should see a few snapper being caught regardless whether you like throwing some bait out or jigging curly tail soft plastics or …

It’s been a long three month wait and I’m glad we’re at the end of it. Not being able to target one of your most favourite species is hard. Though the break does give you a chance to go back through your old diary notes and devise a plan as to what you could do differently for the coming year. …

Inshore/Offshore fishing Unfortunately with this tropical low or possible cyclone coming down the coast we have not had very favourable conditions for anglers to head out this week. Off the back of these tropical low’s we usually see a small window of good weather and this could possibly be Saturday or Sunday this weekend. Keep an eye on the weather forecast …

Inshore/Offshore fishing The inshore reefs have been on fire lately! Plenty of school and spanish mackerel have been caught while fishing, using a few different techniques including fast retrieving spoons, lightly weighted pilchards and trolling gar for the spanish mackerel.

What is 2023 going to bring? Hopefully, with a bit of luck, some good consistent weather, but I won’t be holding my breath. I managed only a couple of days on the water since writing my last article. The fishing was quite good, with a few nice flathead caught still, even though the water’s warming up. All the usual techniques …

Trolling for some mackerel will be a great idea with the big tides pushing plenty of water around and this is an easy way to catch a feed …

Held on October 16-19, 2022, the Fitzroy River Barra Bash was a great success. Day 1 recap On the board were 67 barramundi – six of those coming in at the magic 1m mark – a huge effort by our anglers! King threadfin were also out in abundance, with 28 on the tally board. The biggest barramundi recorded for Day …

Wow, I can’t believe Christmas is just around the corner – it has snuck up fairly fast and another year is nearly over. As we know, the weather this year has been a major factor, with plenty of rain and a lot of wind, getting out on the water fishing was made a little more difficult than normal. Though I …

Inshore/Offshore Last weekends weather proved to be absolutely stunning and it was great to see plenty of quality fish being caught. Those fortunate enough to head out over the weekend were rewarded with plenty of coral trout, red emperor, tusk fish and grassy sweetlip. Most of these fish were caught on large flesh baits fished on the bottom with squid and …
