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

5 February 2022

*Good fishing in the rivers

*Plenty of variety in the broadwater

Dad joke:

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone this week started off well with some nice flatties taking our vibes and trolled Pontoon 21 crackjack lures. We also had a some luck casting some MMD splash prawns around the flats and caught a heap of small bream on surface.

Even though the bream were small it is always exciting watching surface strikes. Unfortunately our fun was stopped short with a massive amount of rain falling in the catchment on thursday and the last few days have been way too windy to fish with gale force winds blowing at 45 to 50+ kilometres an hour.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

The Nerang river fished well this week for some decent size flathead, giant trevally, and spotted grunter.

Samaki vibes in the new colours of grey ghost, sand storm, and cleopatra tiger were working very well while jigging the deeper holes, as were the Magbite snatchbite 4 inch shrimps in clear holo and pearl shrimp colours.

The broadwater is fishing ok for summer whiting, winter whiting, flathead, flounder, squire, grassy emperor, grassy tuskfish, tailor, trevally, bream, tarwhine and more, using yabbies, Ecogear ZX40 vibes, and the above mentioned lures.

This coming week is good tides for fishing the flats for whiting, and the channels between the seaway and sovereign island.

The wind looks like dropping off as the week goes on which will help us get out for some fun sessions on lures.
