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

18 March 2023

Dad joke:

My pet mouse “Elvis” died last night.

He was caught in a trap.

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone what an extremely hot  week it was especially for the clients that I had today who have arrived from Canada. 

It is not only the land temperature that is hot but each day I have completed my trips Around midday, the water temperature on my sounder had climbed to just over 30 degrees. 

We caught flathead, bream, whiting and small school jew in the deep holes where I suspect that the water was a bit cooler on the bottom. 

My tip for the week is get on the water early and fish the deep holes and keep hydrated by drinking lots of water and lets hope this mini heat wave passes soon.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

The fishing for me this week has been tough. This time last year we already had massive floods, while this summer has been relatively dry and now hot. That’s Australia! 

A calm day for wading

We are approaching cooler months from April onwards, and with that there will be a lot more and bigger flathead, flounder, squid, tailor, winter whiting and many more that I love to target on my charters.

A solid flathead caught in shallow water

This week in the broadwater there was some ok fishing on the Southern flats for whiting and a few flathead, while in the channels the better fishing was in the mornings with the run in tide for flathead, moses perch, tarwhine, bream. Once the tide ran out the soupy looking hot green water did not produce much. Best bet at the moment is fishing early morning on the high tides, or at night.

This MMD prawn vibe has caught over 50 fish and still going strong

MMD prawn vibes in Live, Bloodworm colours, and Ecogear ZX’s have been best lures, whitebait best bait.
