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

24 February 2023

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone the fishing this week was a little slow with the tides and gusty south-easterly winds.  We still managed to find a couple of fish by working our lures along the fringes of the river and the odd deep hole that provided some protection from the wind. 

Noel caught this nice flathead

The species caught were flatties, bream, whiting and a couple of small big eye trevally and jacks. I am looking forward to next weeks better tides as well as being excited about trying out MMDs new prawn vibes as they look super cool.  

To book a private lure fishing charter with Brad call him on 0419 028 704 around 4-6pm daily, next week he has Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday available.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

Another tough week of fishing with king tides and strong wind. I’m very much looking to smaller tides this coming week to fish the broadwater.

Geoff caught some tailor

The catch this week included a few blue swimmer crabs, dusky and bartail flathead, sand and winter whiting, flounder, squire, tailor, tarwhine, using beach worms, Ecogear vibes and MMD soft prawn vibes around Runaway Bay. I used the MMD vibes for the first time and their strike rate was impressive on flathead. We will be using them a lot.

Clint’s review of the MMD prawn vibe

This week during the neaps I’m looking forward to targeting whiting on the flats and various fish in the deeper water with vibes. The forecast looks great with sunny days and light winds. I have this Sunday and Monday for whiting wading trips, Thursday available for vibing the deeper areas.
