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

18 June 2022 

Dad joke:

Guess who I bumped into on my way to get my glasses fixed?

Everybody.

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone how unbelievable is this long run of perfect weather and some of the best fishing conditions for this year. 

Once again we caught a heap of fish with our lures not lasting too long in the water without being crunched. Big numbers of quality flathead dominated our catch rate with a combination of trolling Pontoon 21 and Slam lures as well as jigging with Ecogear zx 40 and Samaki vibes. 

Some captures this week from Brad’s Tweed river charter

Other species caught on our lures this week were mangrove jacks, small school jew, whiting and of course the ever reliable bream. With the prediction of this weather to continue into next week I can’t wait get back on the water.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

I had a busy week, the fishing has steadily improved and the water has cleared heaps since the big tides came through around full moon.

Good size crabs and flathead this week

Species caught include flathead, winter whiting, tarpon, tuna, tailor, bonito, flounder, moses perch, a few squid, queenfish, and probably few others I forgot. Mainly lure fishing this week and the Samaki vibes in whitebait colour have been getting smashed, as are the Samaki spinning lures.

Beautiful weather and fun fishing

It has been great to see good numbers of flathead turning up through the broadwater, there are a lot of small ones but also some good quality. 

I’m now finding that run out tide is fishing better for the bottom fish, and run in for the surface pelagic species.

This week once the Southerly wind drops the morning low tides are good for pumping yabbies then fishing the channels north and south of the seaway, or casting hardbodies onto the shallows on the run in tide, and chasing tailor late arvos.
