THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT AND NEWS
*Big whiting on fire at Tweed and Gold Coast
Dad joke:
Fun fact: Australia’s biggest export is boomerangs.
It’s also our biggest import.
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone, this week was once again highlighted by some excellent top water action with the surface lures producing a lot of fish. Double hook ups on whiting and bream were a common occurrence using a combination of bassday sugerpen and mmd splash prawn lures.
The exciting news is the topwater action is here to stay for months now through to april and is something that all anglers should get a chance to experience.
To mix it up and show my clients some variety we have done some shallow and deep water drifts with zx 40s and samiki vibelicous vibes and caught some flatties, bream, whiting and trevally.
GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
This week at the broadwater the highlight was some excellent fishing for sand whiting and bream.
The yabby banks were the place to be with the bigger new moon tides, and we caught up to 30 sand whiting a session with the biggest measuring 44cm during the day. On 3 lb line they are awesome fun, as are the healthy bream that feed in the same areas.
My tip is find where the stingrays are feeding and you’ll find the fish. It’s hard to beat live yabbies locally as bait, but surface lures such as MMD splashprawn in honey bee colour will work well early in the morning before the water traffic increases.
Danny had the day off for his birthday on Thursday, and he caught his pb 40cm whiting on a solo charter. Well done Danny!
On Friday Russ and Ron came for a fish and we caught a feed of sand whiting and squid, before the action slowed. The snot weed is clearing again, but Northerly winds this weekend could bring it back. There’s no doubt our local rivers need a rejuvenating flush of flooding rain, and it will happen fairly soon.
The next week is good tides for fishing around the Southern broadwater yabby banks with surface lures and bait, and up the rivers for flathead and trevally.
I’m on a short holiday from Monday at Tallebudgera then back fishing from Friday.

*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.
