THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT AND NEWS

10 February 2023

Dad joke:

I went to the doctors and he said: “Don’t eat anything fatty.”

I said: “What like burgers?”

He said: “No fatty, just don’t eat anything.”

The day fishing was difficult this week with the low barometer and high temperatures typical of February. Cyclone Gabby is quickly moving away from the East Coast, thankfully we won’t be influenced much, apart from some bigger swell and moderate wind.

We still managed to catch whiting on MMD splash prawns at Tallebudgera creek, and flathead on Ecogear ZX40 and breamer vibes in the deeper areas at Tweed river.

There are also a trevally and school jew to be caught but it helps to get on the water early before it gets too hot and fish any holes that are showing bait on the fish finder. Humminbird sounders do exactly that very well.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

Not going to lie, the fishing has been tough. Like Smithy said the barometer has been low and the water temperature hot which affects estuary fishing in a not so positive way.

Night fishing works well this month and we caught a few mangrove jacks. During the day the deeper channels in the broadwater can still produce a variety of fish. We fished the wrecks and reefs once again for some moses perch, slateys, squire, spangled emperor, dusky flathead, bartail flathead, sand whiting, winter whiting, plenty of tarwine, bream, and small flounder. Best lures have been Ecogear ZX’s, Ecogear breamer vibes, and live yabbies never fail to attract attention.

New moon is coming up on Monday 20 February and like January we will see some king tides again. Before then this week’s day time neaps are small. Easy to fish but probably not great for a hot bite. Get out there early to chase whiting on the flats and the usual mix in the seaway and broadwater.
