THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT AND NEWS
12 December 2021
*Fishing improving after the rain
*Weather looking good for full moon lead up
Dad joke:
I went to MacDonald’s and ordered 2 large fries.
They gave me around 75 tiny ones instead.
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
Brad has been fishing the Gold Coast in the past week, as Tweed river is still quite muddy. It will start to clear with the bigger full moon tides.
His lure fishing charters have been producing flathead, whiting, bream and trevally for his customers.
Best lure has been Samaki forktail 70mm vibe in ginger uv squid colour.
This coming week will see some excellent fishing as the fish feed hard before they spawn.
To book a private charter with Brad call him on 0419 028 704 around 4-6pm daily
GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
Again this week the big summer whiting has been my focus on charters, with plenty of flathead and bream appearing on the shallow flats too.
Even on the back of the new moon there was still quality whiting on the chew, albeit more shy than the moon lead ups. Patience is needed to pester them into submission.
Full moon is coming up this week, and the lead up to it as Brad said will see some excellent fishing on the flats for big whiting, flathead, and bream.
Nice size tides for most options, try vibes and plastics in mid sections of the river for flathead and jacks. The water is a good colour now after the rain, water temp broadwater 25 degrees, Nerang river 27 degrees.
The seaway is worth a go on the run out for mulloway and jacks, plenty of bronze whaler and bull sharks around too.
It’s a great time of year to be wading the flats with such warm water now, while some customers choose to fish from the boat where we anchor and still catch nice fish.
Tune in every Saturday morning 5-6am on 94.1 FM when I chat to Paul Burt and give fishing tips on his new radio show.
On 7mate today 11.30am I go whiting wading with Burty, replays will be online too, and a podcast with Burty coming up too on Spotify covering whiting tips.

*This is just a prediction. There are many factors when it comes to fishing and fish are unpredictable at times, there are no exact guarantees. We include this just for fun and see how it plays out every week.
