GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto

3 March 2024

Yet another week of hot weather and a bounty of big summer whiting again in Nerang river. It was good to see some stable weather with light breezes and brief rain showers. 

Once again the big whiting have been the dominant species, but they are not a fish we ever get tired of catching. There has also been a lot of trevally, grunter, and tarwhine in the river, even  during the small neap tides. The fish are gradually moving back up Nerang river as the water slowly clears. Hinze dam is still spilling, with the official level at 101.3 %. 

New moon is on 10 March, the small tides will grow as the week goes on. Low tide gets later in the day too, which will be good for morning fishing as the run out is bigger than the run in. More run will mean more fun.
