THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT 

14 October 2023

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone here we are again at the end of another week and to be honest it was a pretty tough week when it comes to the fishing. 

Constant raging winds from the northwest to northeast blew like crazy making it hard to fish the areas that I would have liked to fish. Match this with the fact that we have not received any life bringing rain made me have to work very hard for both the fish and my clients. 

Through hard work combined with persistence, and the knowledge of protected areas out of the howling winds we still managed as always to land some pretty nice fish. The species caught this week were flatties, bream, whiting, flounder, school jew and grunter and one very tiny mangrove jack.

To book a private lure fishing charter with Brad call him on 0419 028 704 around 4-6pm daily.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

I had to work very hard to find fish on my charters this week, but we did catch dusky flathead, bartail flathead, fringe eye flathead, jew, sand whiting, winter whiting, gold line whiting, flounder, squire, bream, tarwhine, grassy sweetlip, arrow squid.

Best lures were Ecogear ZX40, TT switchprawn, Samaki Vibelicious, and TT Quake. Yabbies and beach worms worked well on the whiting. 

Let’s hope the fishing improves next week, I’ll go looking for sand whiting and flathead.

My next available dates are 26 October, then 2, 6, 12 November.
