13 August 2021

*Border closed, Brad available for Gold Coast charters

Dad joke:

My wife just left me. She says life revolves around football and she’s sick of it.

I’m quite upset. We were together for 7 seasons.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

After the lockdown ended I fished the broadwater for some squid, flathead, flounder, and winter whiting.

Ecogear ZX40 in colours 411 and 440, Ecogear Dartmax 3.0 squid jigs in colours D01 and D08G were the best performing lures, while live yabbies never fail as well.

The snot weed is still around in areas North of the seaway, especially on run out tides. 

This coming week is lead up to the full moon on 22 August, hopefully the mackerel turn on as well as flathead, bream, sand whiting, winter whiting, tuskfish, tailor and squire.

This Ecogear jig colour works well in the mornings

Tune in every Saturday morning 5-6am on 94.1 FM Gold Coast when I chat to Paul Burt and give fishing tips on his new radio show.
