With some decent weather, a few people managed some trips offshore.
Reports have come in of some amazing fishing with the fish biting hard but the sharks making it hard to get anything past them.
Many big fish hooked have been sharked and even hussar were getting sharked when winding them up as fast as possible.
But on the rare occasion when on the first drop you nailed a big fish before the sharks set in, anglers were rewarded with some quality fish such as red emperor, snapper, tusk fish, red throat emperor, spangled emperor, and moses perch.
The pelagic fishing has been hot as well with plenty of longtail tuna still kicking around.
There have also been some huge spanish getting around the tuna schools.
Noosa has also had some amazing king fish being taken over the last couple of weeks.
In the bay, the tuna fishing has been amazing.
If you’re looking at getting your kids into fishing and you have a boat or little tinny, duck into the tackle shop and grab yourself some metal slugs and stick baits, and we’ll let you know exactly what you need to get out and slay those tuna in the bay.
They have mainly been mac tuna but there has been big longtail tuna in the mix.
The trevally has also been chewing really hard on the pressure edges where the current is hitting each other.
Just slowly sound around and you’ll be sure to find schools of giant herring, GTs and queenfish.
The mangrove jack bite has been quite shut down, but some very solid ones are still getting around.
Whiting and flatty’s have been biting hard.
Fishing for whiting using freshly pumped yabbies has been the go.
Having a just legal whiting out the back live is the go for catching a good flatty.
The beaches have been amazing fishing lately with the whiting biting very hard alongside the dart.
Dart are a very fun fish to catch and easy.
Get a nice little hook and sinker, as light as you can go, and find somewhere with lots of wash and white water.
Dart are also a lovely fish eaten fresh so don’t be shy to get a nice little feed for dinner.
Spinning slugs and stickbaits off the beach has been producing tailor and little GTs.
Fishing the fresh has been quite good this last week with plenty of solid bass and sooties being caught.
A fair few little Mary River cod have been getting around as well.
Fishing jerk bait this time of year is critical to getting those bites.
As it gets colder, the fish shut down more and become slow and lethargic.
Fishing jerk baits slow with a twitch twitch pause action is deadly.
A couple of people slayed the bass and sooties over the weekend with this technique.
