Well, this week has graced the Bundaberg area with some kind weather as well as a good bit of rain earlier in the week.
With the good weather during this week, those who had the time to go, headed offshore. With the warmer weather the fishing out there has improved with red emperor being a hot favourite. Big reds to 15kg have been caught. Try using big baits on 8/0 or 9.0 hooks and a 10 ball sinker fished hard on the bottom and hang on!
Well, in the Bundaberg area, we have seen ups and downs in the weather recently, with the weekends being windy then typical working week calm weather.
Those fortunate to have a day off or throw a sickie during the week had a chance to head offshore and most were rewarded with a feed of the usual mixed reefies, including hussar, sweetlip, parrot and coral trout. Those willing to put out a livie have caught dolphin fish, cobia and Spanish mackerel.
The weather around the Bundaberg area has been a bit up and down this week. On the good days, those that have headed offshore have scored well with red emperor, cod, trout, sweetlip and the usual mixed reefies. The inshore grounds have been producing some great fishing with snapper, grunter and sweetlip all being caught.
This week has seen some good weather and bad. Earlier in the week saw some great offshore fishing in the Bundaberg area - for those who had, or could get the day off work.
In the local areas around Bundaberg, we have seen a constant run of good weather that has allowed most of us to head to the offshore grounds.
The fishing has been red hot with most reef species being caught. Good numbers of coral trout, red emperor, sweetlip, cod, hussar and plenty more have been reported. Some of the deeper ledges have seen some schools of big snapper and big cobia. Spanish mackerel have also been caught in these areas.
Well, the cooler weather has definitely hit the Bundaberg region and this has given us a constant run of good weather recently.
Most boats have opted to head offshore and have been rewarded with some top catches. Plenty of coral trout, big red emperor, sweetlip, hussar, parrot and the usual mixed reefies have been taken. A few big black king have also made an appearance, and there are good numbers of Spanish mackerel hanging around most reefs.
Well, this week has seen some ups and downs in the weather.
With it being windy early in the week most of the fishing was done in the rivers and dams, with most of the rivers fishing very well. There weren’t many species that weren’t caught!
Finally we’ve had a consistent run of good weather and a lot of boats headed offshore. Everyone was well-rewarded with some excellent catches, and most said they were the best catches for a while. Most anglers bagged out on reef fish such as coral trout, red emperor, hussar, parrot, sweetlip and a heap of other mixed bag reefies, with most species being some of the biggest anglers have seen in a while.
There was also plenty of pelagic action around the reefs with big spanish, cobia, and trevally all being reported.
The windy weather lately has not been the best for anglers, and anyone who wants to toss in a line has been confined to the rivers once more.
Finally we’ve been graced with some great weather and last weekend a lot of big boats headed offshore and the fishing was excellent.
Everyone reported some great catches including some big red emperor to 15kg. There has also been heaps of coral trout, big sweetlip, cod, hussar, nannygai as well as heaps of pelagics, including spanish mackerel and big black king.
