Fish Report - 29th December 2011
Well, Christmas has been and gone, and I hope you all got a new rod and reel from Santa.
Well, Christmas has been and gone, and I hope you all got a new rod and reel from Santa.
The rains over the past few weeks have seen some fresh come down the local creeks and rivers. Hopefully it won’t last for long.
Well, over the past week or so, we’ve seen our fair share of rain and this has put a fair bit of fresh down most of the rivers and creeks, especially the Burnett River, and there is still a lot of fresh to come down the rivers.
Well, the fishing around Bundaberg at the moment is still red hot with both river and offshore.
Offshore, when the weather permits, there has been some big red emperor, coral trout, cod, sweetlip and big parrot. Some cobia and the odd spanish mackerel have been caught also.

No more pectoral fin removal for recreational fishers
Firstly this week we have to make mention of the annual barramundi spawning closure which commenced at midday on 1st November 2011 and will continue until midday on 1st February 2012.
Well, we have seen some very ordinary windy weather in the Bundaberg area over the past week, so no offshore fishing has been done.
Most of the fishing has been confined to either the dams or rivers and creeks. Some great fish have been caught though.
The strong winds last weekend and earlier this week have prevented anyone from heading offshore and forced most to fish the dams and rivers.
Earlier in the week around Bundaberg, we saw some fantastic weather for the offshore fisherman. Most reports showed some great catches and most anglers came home with a fair feed of fish.
Well, the winds around the local Bundaberg area just won’t let up for the offshore fishing, so it has been a good time to do maintenance on the boats that usually head offshore.
The river fishing however, has been red hot with most or nearly all of the fish being caught on lures.
