It’s great to see that over the past fortnight the Bundaberg region has received some welcome rainfall, topping up the rainwater tanks and dams, helping our local farmers and giving them a great start for this year’s cane season.
At this time of the year in the magical part of the world around Bundaberg, the days are really hot and humid with the threat of thunderstorms most afternoons – perfect conditions for jack fishing! They just love this type of weather, it really fires them up.
During the past week in the Bundaberg region there has been a lot of good reports from the local rivers and the shallow reefs offshore.
The weather is starting to heat up in the Bundaberg area, with some real scorcher days on the water during the past week.
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.
