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

27 August 2021

Dad joke:

My wife says I only have 2 faults.

I don’t listen and something else.

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

Seeing as I can’t cross the border and fish the Tweed River I have spent the week trying some different waterways. 

Apart from frolicking around the broadwater I fished currumbin creek which is my local waterway and the Mermaid waters canal systems.

Using a combination of jigging and trolling lures we caught a some flathead, bream, whiting, flounder. tuskfish and Gt’s. As it has been for the most of winter the broadwater provided my clients with an abundant amount of good quality squid. 

Lets hope this fantastic run of perfect weather continues for a bit longer.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

The Gold Coast broadwater is fishing well for dusky flathead, bartail flathead, flounder, and squid.

This time of year the flounder are at their biggest size with the adult fish spawning in the broadwater. They are delicious to eat and easily caught on Samaki vibes, Ecogear blades, and yabbies. 

Best areas to catch them are the main channel next to Ephraim island, North Currigee, and Labrador to Southport along the Western shoreline.

I did a charter at Jumpinpin this week and we had a ball catching tailor and flathead. 

Tune in every Saturday morning 5-6am on 94.1 FM Gold Coast radio when I chat to Paul Burt and give fishing tips and talk about this week’s fishing on his new radio show.
