After such a long dry spell, Bundaberg finally received some welcome rain last weekend. The only problem was, when it started it didn’t know how to stop; with Bundaberg receiving around 250-300mls of rain on a single day.
With the off shore forecast for the Bundaberg area not looking too good for the weekend, it is back up rivers and creeks for the keen anglers, and most of our local rivers have been fishing really well.
The fishing around Bundaberg has been fantastic and this weekend’s weather forecast is looking good for the kids for the first weekend of the school holidays to get out and wet a line.
The past week has seen some interesting weather around the Bundaberg area. The summer northerly winds have kicked in early, meaning the water temperatures will be on the rise and some of the summer species will be on the chew.
It’s looking like there will be a bit of a blow coming through the Bundaberg area over the weekend, with 15-20 knots forecast, so it’s looking like the offshore fishing will get a bit of a rest.
With the weekend fast approaching, it’s looking like it’s going to be a cracker, with almost calm conditions forecast for the Bundaberg area. If this weather holds, it’s going to give the big boats another chance to head out wide.
Well, now we are into the eighth month of 2017, and the days are warming up so it won’t be long until species like mangrove jack and barramundi start becoming more active in the Bundaberg area.
