BUNDABERG INSHORE With the water cooling down the snapper are really starting to turn up.  Working 20g soft vibes and 5” soft plastics off the bottom at sunrise and sunset has been getting most of the action. Lightly weighting squid and pilchards is a deadly trick as well. Definitely keep an eye out for big spanish mackerel roaming around as …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE The forecast at this stage for the Bundaberg Show Holiday on Thursday should be good enough for the bigger boats to venture offshore and get stuck into some cracking reef fish off Bundaberg and 1770.

BUNDABERG INSHORE With the weather looking a bit windy for the weekend, hanging around the mouth of the Burnett River casting a few slugs or trolling a hard body lure may catch you a feed of pelagics. We have been getting good reports of schoolie mackerel, tuna, queenfish and trevally all being caught.  Always check the weather report before venturing …

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE For the anglers that got out in the good weather window that we had, there was some nice fish caught such as coral trout, red emperor, tusk fish and red throat emperor.

BUNDABERG OFFSHORE With a couple of decent days weather last weekend, both the Burnett River and Agnes Water boat ramps were very busy. By all reports most boats managed to land a quality mixed bag of reef fish including coral trout, red emperor, grass sweet lip and parrot.
