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

5 August 2022

Dad joke:

Did you hear about the guy who evaporated?

He will be mist.

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone I only did a few trips a few trips on the river this week as I was helping some friends fix their boats. The charters I did were focused on the lower reaches combining some trolling and deep water jigging. 

We caught some great flatties, a few really good quality bream and a ton of small chopper tailer. The season is coming to an end for the big tailer that would normally be in the river over the last few months but I have a gut feeling that a few might turn up on next weeks tides. 

Some bigger flatties are feeding in the rivers

Mostly fished the broadwater this week but also a couple of days in Nerang river.

The broadwater has not a huge amount of bait fish but there are flathead, squid, tuskfish and some big flounder to be caught if you do the miles to find actively feeding fish. The bait is starting to build again in the seaway so the tailor will return in bigger sizes and numbers.

Paul caught this nice tuskfish

Good feed from the river for the boys

There are a lot of bream and grunter feeding in Nerang, and not big numbers of flathead but some good quality ones. 

Best lures have been Samaki vibes in whitebait and slimy mackerel colours, while Knockin Tail plastics in white colours have worked well on flathead and the odd jewfish.

Full moon is on 12 August so we should get some good activity leading up to then, this weekend looks good weather before Southerly winds arrive next week.

I am fully booked next week, next available date is 15 August.
