Dad joke:
I asked my wife why she married me. She said: “Because you’re really funny.”
I said: “I thought it was because I’m good in bed.”
She said: “See! You’re hilarious.”
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
We had a lot of fun on the Tweed River this week with good weather and the water is cleaning up after the floods.
The cleaner water allowed me to fish upstream in some of my usual haunts that I haven’t been able to fish for the past 2 weeks. The species caught were bream, flatties, whiting, estuary cod and grunter and a couple of small jewies.
The highlight this week was the occasional school of big giant trevally that were traveling up the river. We found the trevally on the run in tides feeding on some big bait schools in the deep holes. The fishing this coming week should also be awesome with the bigger tides leading up to the new moon.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
The fish numbers in the Nerang river and Gold Coast broadwater have been spectacular this week in spite of neap tides and low almanac. We have been catching 50-60 fish a session over the last four days, keeping a few for a feed and releasing most.
I have never seen so many bream and tarwine, at times it is hard to get past them. We just kept moving to find the flathead, winter whiting, sand whiting, grunter, trevally, flounder.
Best lures at the moment are Samaki 70mm vibes- the new Cleopatra Gold colour totally slays, and Ecogear ZX40 in 440 colour. As always smearing on Sax scent helps get more bites. Live yabbies and Ecogear Isome worms in XL red are catching plenty of fish too.
I went whiting wading on the flats one day too, biggest whiting was 42cm, and had a heap of fun casting small hardbodies and catching nice flathead, whiting, bream, trevally. I will be doing more of this on charters in coming months.
Best areas have been the mid section of Nerang river, the main channel north of the seaway, and the South Eastern side of Sovereign island, all in 5-7 m depth.
This coming week the tides suddenly increase in lead up to new moon. This will fire up the Southern end of the broadwater from the spit up to Sundale bridge, and the Nerang river from Chevron island to Carrara.
It looks like we are in for some heavy rain until Wednesday then settling again.
I fished Nerang river with Burty for bream and whiting. If you missed the tv episode on 7mate you can watch it online here:

*This is just a prediction. There are many factors when it comes to fishing and fish are unpredictable at times, there are no exact guarantees. We include this just for fun and see how it plays out every week.
