THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT AND NEWS
19 August 2022
Dad joke:
A guy broke into my house last night and was looking for money.
So I got up and looked with him.
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone the weather was awesome this week and so was the fishing earlier in the week but unfortunately the back end went a bit quiet.
The reason the last couple of days went a bit slow was the lack of run in the tides and a major barometer drop. It is amazing how you can have the best sounders as well as equipment and techniques and mother natures little tantrums have the last say.
It was not like we didn’t catch anything over the past couple of days we just got less fish and worked harder to get them. The fish caught this week were flatties, bream, whiting, school jew and mangrove jacks.

This week again there was lots of squid in the broadwater. It is now peak season for them and they should be on for the next month. I will be doing lots of squid fishing and chasing nice fish as well, so book in your private charter soon. Limited dates available.
The squid are now bigger and more numerous in their usual areas both sides of crab island, biggera, and in all the holes from Seaworld to Sundale bridge. Look for areas 4-6 metres deep and use 2.5 and 3.0 size squid jigs. My favourites are Ecogear Dartmax in colours including green, gold, white, orange, pink, and purple, red in cloudy conditions. Cast them out far enough that they will reach bottom then either drift or slowly lift and drop and retrieve.
Other than the squid there are some nice flathead on the flats and in the channels, plus flounder, bream, winter whiting, and tailor.
I have been noticing the bite including the squid has been dropping off during each day as the barometer drops.
This week we have some nice size tides for channel fishing in the broadwater, and casting lures over the edges of the sandbanks.
Some awesome new Ecogear Dartmax colours have arrived in Australia and you can buy them right here:
