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

2 September 2022

Dad joke:

My wife said: “You really have no sense of direction do you?”

I said: “Where did that come from?”

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone once again we had some great weather and some good fishing through the middle reaches of the river.

Combining a mixture of trolling Pontoon 21 and Slam minnows and jigging with Samaki vibes produced a variety of nice fish. The species caught were flatties, bream, whiting, school jew and a couple of nice giant trevally. It appears that the GT’s might start moving around the river a bit earlier this season which is great as they are so much fun on light gear. 

Buy Brad’s favourite lures here:

It is important to note that there is still a lot of logs and debris floating around the river and I witnessed a boat smashing into a floating log and doing a fair amount of damage so take care and keep an eye out at all times.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

We had some really good fishing at the Gold Coast broadwater this week. Plenty of squid, flathead, flounder, tuskfish, whiting kept us entertained.

Good size arrow squid
This tuskie put up a great fight

Best areas were South Currigee and Southport, best lures were Samaki vibes in whitebait and uv squid colours, Ecogear ZX40 in 440 colour.

The water has suddenly got crystal clear and warmer on the run in tide so it now pays to find slightly dirtier water to find the better fish and even the squid. The snot weed that had started to appear has gone again but I’m sure it’ll be back in force with the next Northerly winds.

Flathead are plentiful in the shallows out to the deep, feeding hard on baitfish. Soft plastics in pearl colours are working well.

There were also good numbers of sand whiting up to 40cm on the Southern broadwater banks this week.
