Fishing Report - 30th March 2017
Well, we have seen some interesting weather this week from Cyclone Debbie. She left her mark up north and dumped some rain along the coast as it moved inland.

Last weekend saw a good offshore forecast for the Bundaberg area, allowing a lot of big boats to head offshore. Those who put in the time and effort were well rewarded with some quality reef fish.
How good was it last weekend to see some great offshore fishing weather around Bundaberg region?
Even though the tides were big, some quality fish were caught. Plenty of coral trout, sweetlip, parrot, hussar and a few red emperor were all caught.
What a difference a bit of good weather makes! With the lighter winds last weekend, it was awesome to see so many people out and about making the most of what Bundaberg has to offer.
The past week has seen some ups and downs in the weather around the Bundaberg area, with a mix of wind and some patchy rain. Unfortunately the wind has been enough to stop any offshore fishing, but most of the rivers and creeks have still been fishing well.
It’s been another great start to the year on the fishing scene around the Bundaberg region.
Unfortunately the south-easterlies are predicted to pick up to around the 20-25 knots this weekend, restricting any offshore fishing trips.
Well, it looks like there’s a chance the anglers around the Bundaberg area may get offshore this weekend. The tides for the weekend are looking spot on, meaning minimal run, making it easier to fish most of the smaller patches of reef. Hopefully the fish will be on the chew.
Well, it looks like we’re in for a few more hot days to come. At this stage the weather for this weekend is shaping up well with relatively light winds forecast for the Bundaberg area.
Earlier this week saw end of the annual barramundi closure, so as of midday on the 1st of February, we can now target barramundi in the salt water.
The forecast for this weekend for the Bundaberg area is looking not too bad, with light to moderate easterly winds predicted.
