I recently joined a nudist colony.
The first few days were the hardest.
TWEED RIVER by Smithy
G’day everyone this week was not much different to my usual week. I worked around the middle reaches of the river working and exploring the deep holes and channels of the river.
When I work the deep holes I always use a mixture of deep water jigging lures with Samaki and Ecogear ZX 40 vibes which are my go to lures. When working the channels I drift fish with these lures combined with a switch of techniques trolling some slam and pontoon lures to mix things up which my clients love as they are gaining knowledge.
The species caught were flatties, bream, trevally , tailor and a heap of gorgeous little jewies that were carefully released for the future.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto
Hi everyone, another varied week with some trips to Jumpinpin and the Gold Coast broadwater. We had some challenging conditions but the weather is warming up now.
The arrow squid numbers are now tapering off as the water suddenly warms, they are present all year around here but not in the same size and quantity as the cooler months. Flathead seem to be widespread everywhere right now, it’s just a matter of moving until you find actively feeding fish.
They are gorging themselves on small bait fish in the shallows, so cast and hop no bigger than 3 and 4 inch paddle tail plastics rigged on 1/6 or 1/4 oz TT jigheads with 2/0 and 3/0 hook sizes. Use soft plastics such as ZMan, Ecogear, Knockin Tail, Fish Arrow, and Gobbler. White is a go to colour in most conditions. When drifting areas three metres and deeper use Samaki vibes and Ecogear ZX’s to jig.
Best areas have been the Southern end of South Stradbroke island, the Eastern side of Curlew island, and Whalleys gutter, Pandanus island, Dux, Tipplers areas.
The snot weed has not turned up in mass yet but that could change very quickly as soon as we get warmer weather and Northerly winds.
Full moon is on Saturday 10 September, next week the high tide is getting later in the mornings which is great for chasing flathead and whiting on the flats.
