With some glamourous weather over the last weekend there has been heaps of fantastic reports- with good long tail kicking around behind the bar and behind Rainbow Beach, also all over the Sunny Coast as well.
Alongside these long tails there’s been no shortage of mac tuna and spanish kicking around the edges of the bust ups.
There have also been good reports of spanish being caught off the beach just behind the breaks eating dart and tailor.
The offshore scene has had some good reports if you can get your bait to the bottom with the terrible summer run.
When the baits got to the bottom good red emperor, large mouth nanny gai and small mouth sweet lip, jews and snapper have also been on the chew early morning and late afternoon.
On the inshore scene there has been a few giant herring getting caught off Inskip at the sink hole and heaps of jacks and barras getting caught up all the little creeks.
The straits have been fishing quite well, as well, for barra, with a couple even over that metre mark.
The fresh water has had the jacks pushed to the mouths of flowing creeks away from that dirty water and the barra pushed up the backs.
Live garfish and mullet have been the go, but if you can’t get them live, fresh dead gar and mullet has also been doing the trick just as well.
On the lures scene, jerk baiting lay downs for barra and jacks has had good results, alongside skip casting plastics up the backs of mangroves for jacks.
The creeks have also had heaps of muddies getting around and the sand flats have been producing good whiting on fresh yabbies.
Off the beaches, spanish have been caught and seen in the breaking waves chasing dart and tailor.
Getting a stick bait out there or a fresh dart or tailor is the key to catching one of those big spanish mackerels.
How ever if you don’t have the gear for that there has been loads of big darts being caught by throwing little 10–30-gram metals out then fast winding back.
There has also been the odd GT in the mix as well doing that.
The Double Island lagoon has had big whiting and flathead everywhere at the moment with big legal live whiting being the key to success for those big flatheads.
If freshwater is your thing, then things are looking good with water starting to clear/
The bass and sootys have been firing right up, smashing the surface in the Mary River and surrounding creeks.
If saratoga are on your to-catch-list then you’ve got to get out to Borumba.
There have been tons of reports of heaps of toga getting around the dam and heaps of small bass.
The saratoga have been sitting on that grass line since the water has come up, eating all the bugs.
Surface or little jerk baits are your best bid for a good toga.
