Fishing the Burnett River
Fishing the Burnett River
G’day, guys. Hope everyone had a good week and there has been lots of bent rods and screaming drags.
Mangrove jack seem to be the words on everyone’s lips lately around the Bundaberg area, and with the wind expected to ease a little, it looks like a top weekend to get out and chase a few red devils.
The Burnett River at Bundaberg has been a fantastic fishery for many years and has changed quite a bit in that time. I can remember bait fishing as a child with the family, and very seldom did we come home without a feed of fish.
At this stage it looks like the south-easterly winds around the Bundaberg area will be blowing up around 15-20 knots all weekend. Luckily enough our local rivers and dams continue to produce some nice fish.
The full moon on Wednesday night this week will mean big tides and lots of run. The weather for this weekend around the Bundaberg area doesn’t look too bad with winds expected to be under 10 knots and the skies mostly sunny.
It’s been another week in paradise up in this part of the world. Hope all the kids have enjoyed the school holidays and the parents who had time off had a great break as well.
The weather around the Bundaberg area has been a bit mixed during the past fortnight or so. Earlier this week a few bigger boats had a small window of opportunity to sneak out wide and by all reports, most boats did very well. At this stage the weather looks good for most of next week.
Well, the warm weather has really started to kick in around the Bundaberg area with the past week bringing almost typical summers days. With this the water temperatures have risen and turned on some awesome fishing, with most river systems really putting on a show.
Doesn’t it feel great now that the first signs of summer are already upon us?
