MOST Aussies would have a trip to Cape York near the top of their bucket list. As a bloke who has had the privilege of living there since the late 1980s, I have plenty of first-hand knowledge of what the attractions are and understand exactly why the Cape is such an icon in our national psyche. Even in these modern …

WHEN it comes to lure fishing, I believe topwater luring is the most exciting. Belting out a lure as far as you can over a shallow bank or the edge of a spotted mackerel school in Moreton Bay and then working it back to the boat as you wait for that explosion of water… it gets the heart pumping and …

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 …

As posted on the Fisheries Queensland Facebook page: You may remember an episode of Aussie Salvage Squad that aired back in September 2018 which showed members of the crew taking and cooking female mud crabs in Airlie Beach. As promised, we followed up on your concerns and interviewed the team. One member of the crew was issued with two infringement …

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 …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With some nice weather around the Bundaberg area earlier in the week, it was fantastic to see quite a few large boats gear up and head out to the reefs.  By all reports the anglers who put in the effort were well rewarded with some nice mixed bags of coral trout, red emperor, sweetlip, cod and parrot. BUNDABERG …

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 …

G’day all I hope it has been a good week for you. At the time of writing there are 20-25 knot Southeasters predicted Friday through Sunday so the Brisbane creeks and rivers might be the only option for those wanting to get out for a fish this weekend. The fishing last week was a little slower than we would have …

WHAT stands Egilicious squid jigs apart from many other jigs includes their unique take on popular colour patterns, tail design that is three degrees higher than standard jigs to minimise snagging and fouling, and fine Japanese Owner squid jig hooks. These super-sharp and ultra-thin stainless steel hooks from Owner not only mean a better catch rate but also less jigs …

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 …
