Light to moderate South to South Easterly winds and showers have been the normal this week on the Gold Coast with a bit of extra rain during the night. The fresh water flush is just what the area needs to get the bait fish and mud crabs on the move. Our customers have landed some quality whiting this week on …

There have been some good whiting taken from around the Dog Beach and Munna point areas. Bream have been in good numbers right throughout the system. Some popular spots including the Gympie Terrace stretch, dog beach, Tewantin boat ramp and river mouth. Fresh mullet strips and salted bonito seems to be working best. After a fish last Friday night, the …

While we’re on the freshwater scene, Lake Gregory has been one of the best fishing options whilst all our river systems are dirty.  Good reports of lots of bass are coming in. I ventured out to this magic little impoundment early on Monday morning.  The water level is as high as I’ve ever seen, making launching the boat a breeze.  …

Quality whiting have been active this week with customers finding a nice feed.  Some good spots are the North Arm of the Coomera River, Crab Island, Wave Break Island, Marine Stadium, Jacobs Well, Bedrooms, Tiger Mullet Channel, Canaipa Passage, North Bedrooms and the Logan River.  Yabbies and Worms are great bait.  I recommend using a small size 6 baitholder hook, …

There have been some nice flathead present in the Frying Pan at the start of the outgoing tide, prawn pattern soft plastic like the 65mm Fuze Prawn Heads have been doing the job. The back of the sound has seen mangrove jack being caught on the run out tide. Live baits and fresh mullet strips being a real drawcard. Trevally …

Though if you want to have some fun have a go chasing the whiting on surface lures, with the 65mm Fish Candy Skinny Dog producing the better numbers and the odd elbow slapper. Though the water is warm the trevally schools have be present throughout the Tewantin Ski Run and Woods Bays. Using surface lures early morning like the River2Sea …

The rivers have seen more mangrove jack and mud crabs are a plenty. The new moon will bring out the estuary cod and mangrove jack as I believe ambush species really thrive on this kind of conditions. Whiting are now widespread with the basin and the Mooloolah boat ramp keeping the kids entertained. The Mooloolah River mouth rock walls are …

As the tide slowly began to drop, these somewhat safe shallows started draining, forcing the smaller fish and bait into dangerous territory, and we attempted to imitate the nervous bait using soft plastic and hard-bodied lures. A hot fishing session earlier in the year resulted from casting around this draining ledge, so I was itching for another hot barramundi bite this …

The past week has seen yet again some nice mangrove Jack being caught along with some monster flathead. With high tides early morning and late afternoon this weekend will be a great time to head up the upper reaches of creeks such as Carlo, Teebar and Kauri in search of a few Red Devils with Grunter and Threadies also on …

Heading up towards Double Island, the reefs up there have seen some cracker pearl perch, rosie job fish and some really nice red emperor. Chardon’s Reef is starting to fire up for billfish, trolling teasers with skip baits have been worked well. In the river; whiting are still in outstanding numbers with pretty much all the lower reaches of the …
