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

13 May 2023

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone I managed to get a few days on the water this week even though our expert weather forecasters predicted rain and showers and we did not get a drop. 

Small school sized flatties are everywhere in the river at the moment

The report this week will be pretty much repetitious of what is to come from now and the next few winter months and that is a heap of flatties. Our winter months are when the flatties congregate to spawn in the Tweed and matched with that we will see big schools of bream and tailor also coming up the river to also spawn and next month will see them arrive. 

Matty with one of the flatties we caught trolling

Even though we caught some fish deep water jigging the best results came from trolling pontoon 21 crackjacks and slams which produced a lot of double hook ups.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

This week it was the flathead that were the dominant force in the broadwater, they will be around for many months now.

We had some cold Southerly winds this week and fresh mornings which resulted in slow fishing at first but the flathead came on as the day warmed. It has been a lot of fun catching 20 to 30 fish a day in the shallows from 0.5 to 3 metres deep. 

Some days Ecogear ZX’s and MMD prawn vibes were working well, others Zman ST Grubz and 3 inch Minnowz were killer. Best colours have been motor oil, opening night, and Houdini on run out tide.

Good feed of flathead & squid

Out deeper in the channels the arrow squid are coming on and will be thick for the next three months, and there are also a heap of nice flounder around. Tailor have been busting up near the seaway, what an exciting time of year!

Next Saturday is new moon, this week should be good fishing for flathead, tailor, flounder, and squid.

I have had this coming Monday become available, then next avilable charter dates are 20, 23, 30 May.
