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

16 September 2022

Dad joke:

I met my wife at the glue factory where we both worked.

We bonded immediately.

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone I decided to move well up the river this week and check out some of my old haunts that I haven’t fished for quite a long time. 

This worked out very well for me and of course my lucky clients that were amazed at the surroundings and of course the great fishing. Following the deep channels that lead into the deep holes in the upper catchment of the river produced some wonderful fishing. 

Terri was stoked to catch her first ever Giant Trevally

The species we caught were flatties, bream, whiting, giant trevally, grunter and once again some fantastic juvenile school jew. 

Steve really wanted to catch a GT and was amazed at how hard a fish this size fights on light spin gear.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

Clear water! Wow I have never seen more clear and blue oceanic water inside the broadwater. Yesterday we could clearly see the bottom all around the seaway area.

Some nice flatties on lures, the Fish Craft range are great value
6th Sense soft plastics have some really good colours

This makes it hard for baitfish to hide and they move deeper and out into the ocean, and it seems the fish follow them. Until we get more rain, strong wind, and snot weed arriving the best time to fish is during the run out tides or at night.

The new Samaki hardlicious, coming to stores soon

I have been finding flathead, squid, tuskfish, and winter whiting but it does take a lot of moving and covering ground to find them. 

The day tides this week perfectly suit fishing the shallow banks for whiting, flathead, and bream. 

Just a couple of weeks until the flathead classic now, and it is definitely looking like the Jumpinpin area will clearly be the place to find the most and biggest flatties. The snot weed hasn’t spread yet but it will come. 

A good day of flathead fishing on lures

Sporty’s fishing in Bundall has all your tackle, lures, and friendly advice for flathead and all other fishing.
