GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 25 July 2025 Nice arrow squid around this week although the big night tides around new moon have stirred up the water. New moon is today, as soon as those tides settle down the water will get nice and clear. Mornings next week with light wind will be
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 18 July 2025 What a great week of fishing! Classic winter fun with heaps of flathead everywhere, good numbers of squid, nice size flounder, tarwhine, bream, tailor, and winter whiting. We’ve been doing well at Southport, Runaway Bay, Currigee, and Crab island. The flathead have been so widespread
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 13 July 2025 Another busy week for charters and lots of variety caught including dusky flathead, bartail flathead, flounder, arrow squid, sand whiting, winter whiting, bream, tarwhine, tailor, snapper. Again the squid definitely aren’t thick compared to previous years but there are some bigger ones about, they are
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 6 July 2025 It was good to see the back of that coastal low, those cold and gusting Westerly winds made it hard to fish the broadwater. All we could do was anchor and fish for winter whiting and sand whiting. I had some customers that were still
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 26 June 2025 The bigger squid arrived this week, although not huge numbers yet. The massive king tides at night around new moon probably aren’t helping, stirring up the water clarity too much. The last half of run in tide and first two hours of run out have
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 20 June 2025 Hi everyone, it’s been a great week of fishing locally with lots of variety on the bite during the neap tides. This coming week’s new moon period should be even better! Everything’s a bit behind schedule because of the floods over summer but things are
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 12 June 2025 Things are looking up, the weather and water colour looking good, and the fish are firing up! There are tailor moving up the coast, lots of white bait around, flathead in the river and broadwater, and hopefully arrow squid increasing in numbers and size soon.
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 30 May 2025 Not a lot to report this week with some very inconsistent fishing. It can’t always be good and this was one of those slow weeks and we only caught 10-20 fish a day and not much size about them. It will improve, it always does.
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 23 May 2025 How good is it to see nice weather! Way overdue and long may it continue. My favourite months of the whole year coming up from June to September, with lots on offer in the Gold Coast broadwater and Nerang river. The squid are later than
