TWEED RIVER by Smithy
Hi everyone wasn’t it great to get a couple of rain showers earlier in the week even though the tweed only got about 25mm.
Hopefully we might get well over 50 mm plus of rain in the near future and give all our local waterways a much needed flush out. The report this week is much the same as last week with small giant trevally, flatties and a few bream and whiting being the main players.
The trevally are migrating up and down the river following the the tides and we have been trolling a combination of deep and shallow running lures for the best results on them. Fishing the deep holes with blade lures around the tide changes has worked to pick up a few flatties and fishing the pockets of dirty water when we can find them is the place to find the bream and whiting.
GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
Great to finally see some drenching rain! Not enough but it’s a start.
I’m loving the rising temperatures as it means the jack will keep firing up and so will the sand whiting and various species of hard fighting trevally.
Spots are booking fast for mangrove jack trips in the spring and summer months so contact us asap to secure your date.
The broadwater has been fishing ok on a run out tide with the staples being school size flathead, winter whiting, sand whiting, small squire, queenfish, tarwine, bream, while up the river there has been trevally, big bream, sand whiting, jacks, and the odd mulloway and grunter.
Best tips this week is pump yabbies and use on lightly weighted hooks at both the broadwater and rivers, Ecogear ZX40 colours 440 and 411 will catch fish too.
Try mullet, whiting, and bonito or slimy mackerel fillets for jacks around tide changes, near structure, and just after sunset. The Bait shop at Arundel has all the very good quality stocks of the above.
