With favourable weather conditions predicted for the Bundaberg area for this weekend, our reef fishermen have the opportunity to venture to our outer reefs. There has been reports of some nice red emperor being captured around the 10kg mark in recent weeks.
In the Bundaberg area the Burnett River is still alive with bait fish. At this time of the year, the rock walls around the river hold a good population of bream and flathead.
If you are planning an early morning fishing session, you might need to make sure you are rugged up for those cold starts the Bundaberg area has been experiencing in the past week or so.
The weather around the Bundaberg area has been very ordinary but is expected to improve for the weekend. The full moon is Friday, so it might be a chance to have a go on the north wall as some quality bream are just starting to run along most rock bars.
With prevailing southeasterly winds at 15 knots this weekend, once again fishing will be tough going. However, the Burnett River is still going strong, especially down in the Port area and the rock wall out at the entrance. The amount of sizeable bream that are being caught is astounding.
Fish Report – 22nd May 2014
Now that Bundaberg is experiencing a few cooler mornings, some species as barramundi and mangrove jacks will slow down. You will still get these fish, but you will have to work harder for them.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter/Anzac break this year. It was great to see that heaps of people got out and made the most of the fantastic weather conditions around the Bundaberg area over that period.
Hope everyone enjoyed the Easter break this year. The weather around the Bundaberg area over the past week or so was just magic with light winds and glassed out seas. Some anglers have reported that it was the best it had been for years.
Hope everyone enjoys the Easter break ahead. It was good to see that most areas around Bundaberg received some welcome follow up rain to top up the rainwater tanks and help the farmers.
