TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone this week provided excellent fishing conditions with very little wind and mild overcast days. I decided to explore further up the river to areas that I have not fished for many months due to the floods and some of the old haunts paid off.
With a combination of trolling the edges of the channels with Pontoon 21 crackjacks and Slam deep divers as well as jigging the deep holes with Samaki and Ecogear zx 40 vibes we caught an array of fish. including bream, flatties, whiting, grunter, trevally and some small jewies. The numbers of small school jew that have entered the river since the floods has been amazing and hopefully shows some very positive signs for the future for this much sought after species.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
Some great action this week on my broadwater charters until the small neap days turned the fish off.
Wading the flats and casting and cranking Daiwa double clutch 60mm lures resulted in catches of around 25 flathead per session, and whiting, bream. This is such an exciting way to fish in shallow water that I now offer as a charter trip. My favourite colour double clutches currently are amber ale, motor oil gudgeon, and lazer ayu.
See the video of flats casting with double clutch hardbodies:
The tailor busted up in the main channel North of the seaway which was heaps of fun. There were bigger ones around the big school which were hard to stop, they were biting lures off and snapping leaders.
We did catch lots of school size ones on 20 & 35 gram Samaki metal lures, before leaving them biting and moving onto catching whiting, flounder, flathead, and tarwhine on yabbies, Ecogear ZX40’s, and Samaki vibes, Sax scent UV prawn smeared on the lures.

This coming week we again have the threat of heavy rain. We just hope it doesn’t end up as bad as models are predicting. We can only wait and see what happens then fish near the mouths of rivers.
Whatever happens there will be some sensational fishing in winter and next spring.
Tune in every Saturday morning 5-6am on 94.1 FM when I chat to Paul Burt and give fishing tips on his new radio show.
