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 24 April 2025 Another busy week on the water and it was good to explore further out in the broadwater with favourable weather. Crab island, North currigee, South Currigee, and Runaway bay are all starting to fish well as the water cleans up further. We caught a variety
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 21 April 2025 Great to see the fishing firing up this week as the water clears and the rain goes away. We caught big numbers of sand whiting, winter whiting, grunter, bream, tarwhine, and a few flathead using yabbies, beach worms, and blade vibes. There is lots of
GOLD COAST ESTUARY FISHING REPORT by Clinto 13 April 2025 Another busy week of charters every day. The week started off well with good fishing on the run in tides, as they got later the whiting and flathead fishing was harder in the dirty run out tide water. There was still big numbers of fish
