Trevor was driving an Extreme 545 Side Console (full review in the August edition) and playing up for the camera over the breaking waves, while I stood in the Fisherman and attempted to get decent photos and videos of his antics. Becoming somewhat absorbed in the filming, I didn’t notice until almost too late that I’d drifted into a shallower …

The Gold Coast has seen a bit of variety on the weather scene this week from moderate SE winds over the weekend to rain on Wednesday and a cold Westerly change to finish off the week.  Just like the weather we have seen a variety of fish being caught as well. Flathead seem to dominate catches reported by customers in …

AFTER another awesome weekend and start to the week of weather here on the Gold Coast we are going to see the wind move through on Thursday and end our great run. Luckily it’s just a short blow from the South and we will be back to a better weather forecast by the weekend. Great conditions saw plenty of boats …

We’ve had mostly light winds for the past week on the Gold Coast, except for strong W/NW wind last Saturday that made the daytime temperature rise to 29 degrees.  From Sunday onwards we have moved back into a more normal winter weather pattern, seeing the temp drop and a few nice fish biting. Customers have been scoring some nice catches …

Just as it looked like the Rivers, Broadwater and Jumpinpin had started to recover after the big low pressure system dumped a large amount of rain 2 weeks ago we received another 60+mm on Sunday adding more fresh water into local waters. Its great news for the Gold Coast in the coming months, you just had to look a bit …

IT seems to be either drought or torrential rain on the Gold Coast, last weekend we saw the heavens open up with rain and wind dominating the forecast.

It’s great to be back after a good break, I defiantly made the most of the nice weather we’ve had the past couple of weeks. It looks like we are in for some wind and much needed rain on the Gold Coast from Friday until mid-next week. As we make the transition into winter the offshore bottom fishing has started …

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 …

We’ve seen another mixed bag of weather on the Gold Coast this week, the strong Southerly wind eased towards the end of the week but will be back for the weekend at this stage. Finding a spot out of the wind for the next few days will be important if you want to go fishing. Given the strong South/South Easterly change …

It was nice to see the strong Southerly wind ease a bit as the week progressed giving everyone a few nice days to get out amongst the action on the Gold Coast. Jumpinpin Bar entrance has been holding some good schools of Trevally this week, a few chopper Tailor have also been caught, just a matter of locating the bait …
