I’VE been a bit quiet on the writing side of things, with work once again taking precedence over fishing, and the days I made it to the water being nothing short of shockingly below average. Classic 2019 What can I say but that was an absolutely crazy and unusual lead-up to this year’s Gold Coast Sportfishing Club Flathead Classic 2019. …

HI Everyone, hope you’ve all had a great week and enjoyed some time fishing on the Tweed and Gold Coast over the Queen’s birthday long weekend. The weather has been a bit up and down this week with stronger winds, day time temps hot and cool with the odd storm forecast.  Let’s have a look at some option for the …

FOR those who missed last month’s part one article, I recently embarked on the trip of a lifetime with a crew put together by Wilson Fishing. We went on a Swain Reef adventure chasing everything from big GTs to awesome-looking coral trout and everything in between. The aim of this trip was to destroy some fishing gear (well, test its …

THIS month has been a bit of a mixed bag, with some days quite productive and others simply hard work. The better fishing has occurred on the lead-up to the full and new moons in the shallows. One thing I have noticed is even with the right tides, the fish have been rather finicky. All the little things such as …

HI all, I hope everyone has been able to get out for a fish since the last edition of Bush ‘n Beach hit the shelves. Over the school holidays, I was lucky enough to squeeze in a trip to one of my all-time favourite fishing destinations, Turkey Beach.

I didn’t know it was going to result in plan B. This good weather was going to coincide with a fishing booking for a group I have had out …

A FISHING trip to Swain Reefs had been on my bucket list for many years and was continually reinforced each time I read a BNB scribe’s epic trip report. As mentioned in last month’s editorial, I got the call up to accompany a select crew put together by Wilson Fishing including Troy (Dicko) Dixon, Clint Fannin, a number of tackle …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE Around the Bundaberg area, it looks like we are in for a cracker weekend of weather!  With the smaller tides the deep should be fishing awesome all day.  Using big flesh baits on Elkat ganged hooks should stir up the big reds.  Remember to stay patient through all the smaller hussar bites and wait for that big red …

ANGLERS who love the Zerek Fish Trap will be excited to hear seven new colours have arrived! The new colours have been developed with the assistance of gun anglers across Australia and with the help of tackle stores. Needless to say, Zerek has delivered an exceptional new range. Within the range are the following colours: BF – Blended Frog; GC …

THERE is nothing quite like the feeling of your alarm going off at some stupid hour of the morning (like 1-2am). For most people, they would grunt and groan at the thought of getting out of a nice warm bed at such a time, but for fishos, especially the ones like me, excitement gets the better of us. When I …
