THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT
30 June 2023
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone this beautiful winter weather continues to keep rolling on and to match this with some fantastic fishing I am so lucky to have an office like this to work in.
Once again and just like the last few months it has been all about the flatties in big numbers taking our vibes and trolled lures. In amongst the flattie onslaught we have been catching some bream, school jew and small giant trevally and tailor.
On a more disturbing note is the number of wallabies yep that’s right wallabies swimming across the river. There are packs of wild dogs pursuing the banks of the Tweed and forcing the wallabies into the river. The local authorities are aware and are looking into managing the problem for both the wallabies and other local wildlife.
I take my hat off to the young anglers today that brought an exhausted wallaby into their boat to save it. I did the same about eight months ago now and like I said to the young blokes today all you can do is pick a place where there is plenty of grass to drop him off. I will send some video footage that my client Enzo took of the local boys rescuing the little roo.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
Again some pretty epic fishing and weather this week in the beautiful Gold Coast broadwater. Big numbers of dusky flathead, arrow squid, winter whiting, flounder.
We were using Zman 3 inch minnowZ, Samaki hardlicious, Marker 54 prawnlets, Ecogear ZX40’s,, and MMD prawn vibes. On sunny and calm days transparent and natural colour lures work best. On cloudy and/ or choppy conditions it works well to use darker and more colourful presentations. Sometimes it pays to experiment with funky colours to get the bites, like Zman in sexy mullet.
As usual the squid numbers drop off as the full moon gets closer, while the daytime tides have been ideal for flathead fishing. Not too big, not too small. Just a good amount of tidal run. Most of the flathead are measuring from 42cm to 60cm.
Tailor have been passing through sporadically following the bait fish schools. That’s tailor even in season, here today gone the next.
Full moon is this coming Monday 3 July, often the four to five days leading up to it can be good fishing then slower on the day and day after the moon. Then better again after that, but fish eat when they’re hungry. Simple as that, go fishing when you can. Life is short.
