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

3 March 2023

Dad joke:

Yesterday I read an article about the

dangers of drinking too much…

It scared the hell out of me, so today

I’ve decided never to read it again.

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone i had a few days off the water this week but i still put a couple of days on the water. The barometer was once again very low as it has been for the best part of this month which really makes the bite slow but with hard work comes success.

Deep water jigging proved to be the most successful technique and provided us with a mixture of flatties, bream, grunter, tarwhine and small school jew.

Marissa out fished the boys and caught some nice flatties

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

The fishing this week has again been challenging but as Smithy said with hard work comes success and we have to grind it out to find fish. 

Norm from Idaho, USA caught this lovely tuskie

I did have some good bite sessions with one day producing a number of legal flathead using MMD soft prawn vibes on the shallow flats, and other days fishing deeper using the same lures plus yabbies and Ecogear Zx40 blades and catching jewfish, trevally, flathead, tuskfish, flounder, snapper, winter whiting.

The MMD prawn vibes have accounted for a fast growing list of species, yesterday I went with Paul Burt to the Sunshine Coast to film a segment for his fishing show, and we caught lots of fish on these great lures including snapper, grassy sweetlip, maori cod, red emperor, moses perch on reef 12-18 metres deep. Very versatile lure!

We have full moon on Tuesday so hopefully there is a spike in fish activity. Best areas to fish have been Runaway bay and the Aldershots.
