My doctor says it’s terminal.
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone I only did a couple of days work on the river this week, and had a sensational day with Clint travelling to Brisbane to meet our new sponsors.
We met up with Gareth the owner of
Tackle Tactics and we are both now proud users of Okuma Australia reels and TT rods. Okuma make a fantastic reliable range of reels and I could not wait to get back to the Tweed to use them.
The best fishing for us this week was to once again jig vibes in the deep holes and channels where we caught flatties, bream, tailor, big eye trevally and jewies. We also caught a few Australian bass and of course released them very quickly and carefully as it is closed season for them in tidal estuaries at this time of the year.
It is well worth noting that the bass have moved well down the river this year due to the ridiculous amount of rain we have recieved this year. Thanks again Gareth the new Okuma outfits worked a treat and my clients were super impressed by the cosmetics and of course quality of your products.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
Once again this week the squid were keeping us entertained, and there are plenty of flathead on the chew.
Check out this video of one of my regular and favourite customers, Simon from Tasmania who invites different mates each times he visits the Gold Coast,
We are blessed to have an abundance of squid in our waters over winter, and they are so much fun to catch and absolutely delicious to eat. Some days they will aggressively attack Ecogear Australia Dartmax squid jigs, other days the Ecogear and vibe lures we use daily are the best offering to tempt them.
Flathead have been everywhere shallow to deep, the key to finding them is looking for bait fish. In shallow water keep an eye out for birds diving and the actual small fish in the clear water. In deeper water look for patches of bait on your fish finder then dropping lures under them.
Water temperature has been hovering around 18 degrees, there has also been some decent flounder, winter whiting, tailor, bream, and trevally hunting in the broadwater.
I am fully booked this coming week, and will keep chasing squid, and the usual fish. Darker colour squid jigs will be the way to catch calamari.
