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

*Tweed fishing on fire! ????????????

*Broadwater squid and variety of fish

*Windy weekend and big swell

Dad joke:

I saw an ad that read: “TV for sale, $1, volume stuck on full.”

 I thought to myself, “I can’t turn that down!”

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

Wow what a week it has been especially the last three to four days. 

Once again we mainly focused on jigging the deepest holes in the river, and the variety of species was bizarre and so was the amount of fish we caught. Using the same two lures the whole week being Ecogear zx40s and Samaki vibelicous we caught flatties and bream which are to be expected, and also some good quality jewies, giant trevally and even a couple of australian bass.

It goes to show that by having the right lures and the right technique and very importantly having an abundance of bait in these deep pockets of water all these species are happy to come together to feed. 

Other highlights for the week were the double hook ups with one client fighting a bass and the other with a flattie, and the rush of fighting a jewie and a giant trevally at the same time that were both spooling off line and running in opposite directions.

We somehow managed to land both fish which was amazing and let’s hope this crazy action continues this week.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

We had some very good fishing leading up to the full moon, then the fish were a little off on the moon with the bigger fish more intent on breeding than feeding.

The squid were more shy, in less numbers and smaller than they were last week. With their big eyes they were hunting all night under the brightness of the full moon, then less hungry during the day.

This time offers great mixed catches

A variety of zx’s and squid jigs help catch a bag of squid in the Gold Coast broadwater. Every day is different and it pays to keep mixing it up. Try having three different shades at least of jigs, from darker solid colours to natural and transparent. 

Nice morning

My favourite jigs are Ecogear Dartmax 3.0 which sink a bit quicker than most jigs, this is great for the broadwater. I also like Daiwa Emeraldas nude jigs, and will be using the RUI jigs soon too.

The weekend’s weather looks unsuitable for boat fishing, with Southerly winds 20-30 knots forecast. If you’re desperate for a fish, try somewhere land based that’s sheltered, or up creeks and rivers.

Once the wind drops out next Tuesday we will see some excellent fishing and squidding and easier tides to fish.

Steven, Ricky, and Michelle had a fun day catching calamari
