GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clint

10 August 2025

A windy week and some tough fishing but there were still squid, flathead, and whiting on the bite. 

This coming week there is still some Southerly wind around but not quite as strong. The tides are looking good with the mornings featuring run ins and decent amount of flow. I’ll be chasing big sand whiting and flathead mainly on beach worms, hard body lures, and soft plastics in the Southern end of the broadwater. 

The water is nice and clean now so natural colour lures work best. Blade lures such as Ecogear ZX and Samaki Bladelicious work great from shallow to deep, and S Tackle soft plastics including the fish tail 2.5 inch and 4 inch, and the rattle minnow will catch heaps of fish.
