THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT AND NEWS
7 May 2023
Dad joke:
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone what a great week it has been with some nice big tides and perfect weather. My clients caught an unbelievable number of quality flathead matched with some small school jew and bream.
The water temperature has now dropped with the oncoming winter months and unlike through our summer when most of the flatties were in the cooler water on the bottom of the deep holes they are now moving up onto the shallow flats. The shallow water warms up with the sun and the flatties were up there basking and feeding on the shallows.
Casting samaki vibes and zx 40s up onto the shallows and hopping them back into the channel worked a treaty. Trolling pontoon 21 crackjacks and slam lures on the run out tides along the edges of the channels where the warm water was draining of the flats also worked well for the flatties. Don’t be scared to fish super shallow as well as some of fish we caught came from fishing water that was only 1 to 2 feet in depth.
To book a private lure fishing charter with Brad call him on 0419 028 704 around 4-6pm daily. He has Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday still available for private lure fishing charters for one or two people.
GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
The fishing improved close to the full moon, it was good to see more flathead on the chew and the average size increasing.
The best bite period was the last two hours of the run out tides in the smaller channels and drains. Best lures were definitely vibes with the MMD prawn vibes and Ecogear ZX40’s catching lots of fish.
When they went off one colour we kept changing until they fell for that tactic.
We got reasonable numbers of arrow squid and some good size, and some good flounder, and a few tailor on the flats on Zman 3 inch minnowz.
This week I still have Wednesday and Thursday still available, neap tides will make it easy for fishing vibes and squid jigs in the deeper channels, or casting plastics at the bank drop offs.
