Fish Report - 17th May 2012

Thu, 17/05/2012 - 13:57 -- Admin

The past few weeks have seen near-perfect weather around the Bundaberg area for the offshore anglers.

The fishing has been as good as it gets for most, with some catching their bag limit of quality reef fish. Some monster red emperor and coral trout have been coming in from out wide.

The islands and atolls also fished well for trout, big red throat sweetlip, parrot, hussar and some big red jew. The gutters produced some top fish, including some big trout on livies, as well a parrot and some sweetlip.

Well, the fishing around Bundaberg has been fantastic of late, with red hot fishing both offshore and in the estuaries.

On the good days for offshore fishing, the catches have been awesome. Some excellent red emperor have been caught out in 60 to 80 metres of water on mullet fillets. Some cracker coral trout have been caught on live baits around the bombies and gutters as well as the mixed bag of sweeties, hussar and tuskfish.

The past few days around the Bundaberg area has seen some reasonable weather, so a lot of the larger boats ventured out to the offshore reefs.

The occasional spanish mackerel has been caught, but mainly bottom dwelling fish such as red emperor sweetlip parrot and hussar.

Blue salmon have been reported along the coastline, as well as schools of mackerel and tuna.

In the estuary systems, the Burnett has been fishing quite well for whiting flathead and bream with the occasional nice sized trumpeter being landed.

Well, we have seen some nice fish caught around the Bundaberg area over Easter.

We had near-perfect weather, with the offshore grounds producing some excellent catches of big red emperor, coral trout, big sweetlip and the usual hussar.

The Cochrane Artificial Reef has been producing some beautiful snapper to 4kg and still some big grunter.

The local rivers are on the improve as well. The fresh has slowed up and the salt has pushed back up river. Some beaut bream, cod, grunter and even some big mangrove jacks have been caught.

The fresh has now stopped flowing down the rivers in the Bundaberg area. Although the rivers are still a bit fresh, the next set of tides will push some salt back up the river systems.

The fishing has still been great. Some good catches of grunter and whiting have been landed from around the gravel beds.

The fresh pushed some king threadfin and barra down to the mouths of the rivers, so this will be an option on the bigger tides, with big lures for big barra.

Some good bream have been taken up river but you do have to put up with a catfish or two between bream.

Well, the rain we’ve had around the Bundaberg area lately has sent all the rivers fresh and pushed all the fish down to the river mouths and out along the beaches.

Some cracker whiting have been caught along the beaches, as well as a good number of swallowtail dart. Most have been caught on peeled prawns for bait.

The local river mouths have produced some great fish such as big grunter, big bream and some small jew. There is still the odd jack and barra about. Targeting them on live bait in the deeper holes is the go.

Well, the past week has seen some pretty ordinary weather around the Bundaberg area, with wind, rain and more wind!

The weather just won’t let up, so most of the fishing has been done in the creeks, rivers and dams, which have all been fishing well.

The bigger tides have pushed some salt back up most of the estuary systems, but it’s most of the river mouths that have produced the best fishing.

Well, it’s been a very ordinary week for fishing around the Bundaberg area.

Wind, rain and more wind, has meant that offshore fishing was out and we have been left to fish the rivers, creeks, beaches and dams.

With most of the rivers running fresh, the best places to fish are around the mouths, and some great fish have been caught. Catches of big barra, king threadfin, grunter, and odd jack and fingermark have all been taken on live baits and lures with Strada Terra and Jackall Tranzams being hot favourites.

Finally, the rains have eased around the Bundaberg area and the fishing is still great.

The local rivers have just come to life again with some small bait prawns, mullet, and herring, etc.

The big fish aren’t too far away with reports of big grunter, bream and some monster flathead on the sand flats.

Some of the deeper holes are still holding big barra and king salmon. Lures have been the go with Strada lures and Barra Classics trolled or cast.
