Well, it’s almost here- the annual Win Television Lake Monduran Family Fishing Classic is being held this weekend, 15th and 16th of October 2016. There have been plenty of barramundi caught at Lake Monduran over the past few weeks, so with a bit of luck this year’s classic should be a cracker.
All in all the weather around the Bundaberg area hasn’t been too bad for the kids on school holidays. Some excellent reports have come in from both estuary and offshore during this past week.
The past week has seen some quality fish caught around the Bundaberg area, from both estuary and offshore.
Last weekend saw a few boats head offshore and a lot of the boats that got out came home with some quality coral trout, grass sweetlip, parrot and a few big spanish mackerel.
Looking at the latest forecast, things around the Bundaberg area may come good for some offshore fishing, so fingers crossed. Also, keep an eye on the latest forecast before heading out, as the predicted northerlies can be unpredictable.
The first week of spring is always a magical time of the year around Bundaberg. As the water temperature starts to rise, so should the fishing with some quality mangrove jack already starting to smash lures and baits.
Now we are in the last week of winter, the days should start to warm up and more of the summer species like mangrove jack and barramundi should start to fire up over the coming months.
Looking at the forecast, it’s going to be a “wait and see” kind of moment to see if the weather around the Bundaberg area holds out for some offshore fishing.
