Tin Can has been fishing well this week with good whiting being caught around the banks of Snapper Creek and Teebar Creek on yabbies, peeled prawns, and worms.
Kauri Creek has been one of the prime spots for Trevally and queenies.
These speedsters have been taking a liking to lightly weighted live herring on a snelled rig.
The flathead was a sort-after fish on the weekend with the Levi Hanna Family Fishing Classic in full flight.
Fishing the flats in the Tin Can and Rainbow area has seen some good fish taken.
The best results have been on the run-out tide and fishing from a boat, casting plastics into the shallow waters, and rolling back into the deeper waters has seen some nice fish over the 50cm mark landed.
Give the Keitech Easy Shinners in the 4” size ago, these plastics are made from vinyl and swim brilliantly.
Jack numbers are also good with plenty of fish taken from the rock bars and structure and live bait has been the best bet.
Mud crabs are on the march with most creeks holding good-sized bucks.
Mullet is definitely the best bait for these tasty crustaceans.
Make sure you know the rules about crabbing before putting your pots in as it can be a hefty fine for those caught breaking the rules.
On the offshore scene, the wind and swell have made conditions pretty average for most of the week.
There were a few windows through the middle of last week that saw some anglers sneak over the bar at Wide Bay and Noosa.
There have been some nice snapper, sweetlip, jew and cobia around North Reef with live yakkas and slimy mackerel definitely the best chance to hook up to the bigger fish.
Sunshine Reef out of Noosa saw some nice fish with trout from the bottom and some nice spotted and spanish mackerel around.
Chardon’s was also producing some bigger Mahi Mahi, mackerel, and Cobia.
Tuna schools are also around and have been spotted on the closer reefs.
Small slugs are your best bet as they are feeding on small rainbait or frog-mouthed pilchards.
Make sure you have your trolling lures when moving spots as the pelagic’s are really firing.
On the beaches, there is still the sneaky tailor hanging around and plenty of anglers are reporting bite-offs on the tide at night.
After uprating their leader the result has been some larger tailor with reports mostly coming from the Noosa North Shore.
Mullet, bonito and pilchard baits have nailed most of the fish.
Dart is in good numbers with most fish in close.
This is great for the kids as they don’t have to cast a mile and prawns and small fish baits have claimed plenty.
We are also seeing some good quality whiting along Rainbow and up towards Inskip.
Live worms and pippies have been the go-to bait.
In the Mary with a little less rain things have improved.
Most of the smaller tributaries are where the bass are hiding in the clearer waters.
Small cicada and frog-style lures have been very successful.
Up in the Dam, Borumba has seen plenty of saratoga action with most fish taken in the morning around the weed edges.
