TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone it was great to get back on the water earlier this week after last weeks snap lockdown.
The fishing over the past few days has produced good numbers of fish and a great variety of species. Flathead were once again on fire with the boat averaging over 20 fish a day and even though we did not get any trophy sized fish the quality was averaging around the 50cm mark.
The tailor were also in numbers and were easily located by keeping an eye out for the birds dropping and feeding on the bait schools.
Some quality bream were found by dropping Ecogear ZX 40 lures to the bottom under the bait schools where they were schooling and feeding on the crumbs of bait sinking to the bottom under the tailor.

The other species we caught by jigging zx40 and Samaki vibes in the deep holes were jewies and some small GTs and some hard fighting luderick which are not normal lure takers. We also caught and carefully released a few bass. Remember that you must release the bass if you catch one as it is closed season for this species.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
An interesting week with a mix of weather and fishing fortunes. The run in tides are definitely providing the feeding periods at the moment, with the water turning a murky green and weedy on run out, and cold.
Strange for this time of year but everything has been out of whack with fluctuating temperatures and rain. Still there has been some reasonable days and exciting catches.
The aggressive arrow squid continue to be heaps of fun on my charters. I have been mixing up the jig colours a lot, depending on the time of day and tide. Whites and fluorescent colours seem to work well early, then natural, green and orange when the suns up higher. If cloud comes over thens its necessary to change colours again to attract the squid to attack.

The fishing and crabbing has been slow at times, but the speedy mackerel made a welcome appearance. When these guys hit it’s a big adrenalin rush, their first run making our light reels scream. As the water clears with bigger tides and the bait fish enter the broadwater in bigger numbers so will the mackerel schools increase.
It was a great thrill this week to catch some spanish mackerel as well as school mackerel and baracuda. There is a lot of yakka in the Southern broadwater at present.
Video highlights:
New moon is on Saturday then next week I really like the look of the tides for fishing and squidding the broadwater, and the following week’s lead up to full moon will see the mackerel, big bream, flathead, tailor, tuskfish, flounder, winter whiting, and sand crabs fire up.
Lots to look forward to, fingers crossed for settled weather and we’ll have some dream days and exciting action on the water.
