COMPILED WEEKLY BY GARRY SMITH IN CAIRNS:

Gold Coast
Conditions last week on the Gold Coast were reasonable for angling, though the swell picked up later in the week.

Quite a few boats ventured offshore during the early part of the week. Down off Tweed, Fido’s and the Nine Mile have been producing quite a few Spanish mackerel, as well as the odd wahoo. Trolling Hexheads or Halco Laser Pros seems to be the most effective method. The odd dolphinfish was taken on the 50 fathom line east of the Seaway on small skirts.

The shallow reefs have really fired lately, with the full moon during last week. This led to some nice catches of snapper and trag jew in the early morning or the evening. Pillies and live yakkas accounted for most of the better fish. Using a glow sinker or bead is definitely worth it, as these seem to attract more bites. Also taken from the same areas were parrotfish, tailor and squire. Fishing a live bait under a balloon produced a few cobia and some decent mack tuna.

On the deeper reefs a nice mixed bag of reefies was available. Squire, parrot, trag, pearl perch, snapper were the most common captures. Fishing a live bait on the 50 fathom mark was a good way to pick up some hard-fighting kingfish and amberjacks. Jigging heavy metal lures was also an entertaining way of targeting these fish and is usually successful.

The estuaries fished very well over the past week. Some nice jew were taken in the Seaway earlier in the week during the lead up to the full moon. A couple of larger specimens went close to 20kg and were taken on live mullet or tailor. The run in tide at night was the best time and the pick of the spots were over the pipeline and at the northern Wavebreak Island rock wall. Plenty of smaller specimens were about during the day and these could be taken on Squidgies and live mullet or herring.

There were some nice fish pulled out of the hole at the end of the north wall of the Seaway using livies or soft plastics. Tailor, trevally, tarpon, kingies and jacks were all taken in this area on the incoming tide. Casting metal lures along the rock walls has been producing some nice tailor and the odd trevally or tarpon.

Bream have been a common capture throughout the estuaries, with some nice specimens being taken from the Seaway walls with whitebait or half pilchards. Further up the rivers many anglers have been chasing them successfully around structure with soft plastics, but soaking a fresh bait will also produce plenty of fish.

Some quality whiting have been taken around the Sovereign Islands and the eastern side of Crab Island. A few have also turned up in the Nerang and Tweed rivers. Casting lures around bridges and canal entrances has produced a few trevally, estuary cod and a couple of late season jacks.

The beaches have been fishing well lately, with plenty of tailor being caught up and down the coast. Most of the deeper gutters and holes with a bit of whitewater have been holding tailor around dawn and dusk. Pilchards and metal slugs have been working best. Cast your bait to the back of the gutter and wind it steadily through the whitewater. Using smaller pilchards or half pillies on a two-hook gang gives you the chance of picking up some big bream and tarwhine, which feed under the tailor. Pippies and beachworms have been producing plenty of dart, with some good specimens coming from the Spit and South Straddie.

Hinze Dam fished steadily during the week. It is time to change tactics now that winter has arrived, fishing smaller lures around the fringes of the dam. This method produces many winter bass, as well as the odd silver perch. Small hard bodied lures and soft plastics, as well as small flies, are the best offerings. Live shrimp and garden worms will also produce plenty of fish. The odd yellowbelly will still be hanging around the rocky points and they can be caught with small deep diving minnows.

Moreton Bay
Reports of decent numbers of legal squire are starting to filter in, with plenty of fish caught around the bay islands, especially Peel and Mud. A few quality fish have been reported, with one angler landing a 5kg and 8kg snapper from Mud, while on an overnight sojourn. He thought that the 8kg one was a shark and really put the wood on it to get it to the boat, not caring if he broke it off. Luckily everything held together and he was surprised when the big snapper appeared. He quickly backed off the drag and led it into the net. The second fish of 5kg was caught ten minutes later and then he fished the rest of the night without another legal fish.

A few yellowtail kings have been caught at the Curtain Artificial this week on live yakkas and slimies. The occasional snapper and trevally has also taken a live bait in the early mornings. Drifting soft plastics along the outer drop-off has produced a few quality squire and other unstoppables, probably kingies.

There are plenty of good bream to be caught around the shallow reefs off Scarborough, Cleveland and the northern side of Mud. Fishing from the jetties at Wellington Point, Sandgate and Woody Point, as well as the Hornibrook Bridge, is a good option for bream in the evenings and early mornings.

Squid are being caught in decent numbers around the canal developments and shallow weed bed areas of Moreton.

The sand crabs are still being caught in decent numbers around the bay ledges and gutters.

A few school mackerel have been caught around the shallow reefs, while floating out pillies. The Measured Mile, Four Beacons, Curtain Artificial, Peel Island and northern side of Mud have been good places to try.

Bait fishing around the canals and harbours has been productive for bream and a few flathead.

Good diver whiting and a few winter whiting have been caught on the sand banks in the bay. Try out from the Sand Hills, Amity Banks, Maroom Hole and the edges of the Rous Channel.

May your bait be nervous.

Moreton Bay - Wide

We did manage to get out twice midweek last week in the Incredible Bay-Bee, our 21' centre cab. The major species at the moment, on the shallow reefs, in the burley trail, is mac tuna to 8 kg. These arm stretchers are a lot of fun on light spin gear and are in large numbers. Snapper are not in abundance in the shallows due mainly to the high water temperatures, which are currently around 22 degrees. Despite this, we managed two good specimens of 5kg and 4.5 kg respectively last Monday.

The fish of the week was taken by regular client Alan King on Wednesday - a golden trevally, which went a thumping 15 kg on the lie detector. The Trevor was landed after a monumental tug of war on spin gear, while fishing on the Curtin Artificial Reef inside Moreton Island. There was congratulations all round after the fish was boated, not only from our boat but also from the other four boats fishing that location. Thanks for your sportsmanship blokes, as Alan has only discovered fishing later in life and the Trevor was the highlight of his fishing career to date.

Hopefully after the blow, water temperatures will drop and snapper hot spots, like Deep Tempest, will start to fire.

Bribie Is. & Caloundra
The past week saw terrific weather, with calm seas, high tides and the full moon. This allowed many anglers to venture out after work and fish into the early evening each night. There were some great reports off Currimundi Reef earlier in the week, with sweetlip over the 2kg mark hammering baits and providing plenty of action.

The beaches are home to some fine catches of tailor and plenty of dart, with the better gutters still turning up the odd mulloway. These are being caught on fresh beach worms piled on a long shank hook.

Down the Passage, south of the power boat club, some great catches of muddies are still being reported, along with big grunter bream, the odd trevally and winter whiting. There are still quality bream up to 1kg coming from the Blue Hole and large flathead in the shallows in no more than two feet of water. Best baits have been hardyheads, mullet fillets and whitebait.

On the esplanade we are beginning to enjoy catches of bream and trevally, again keeping the visitors happy. It’s great to see all the young anglers having fun and returning fish to the ocean to catch again.

It seems out wide the reports are the same. There are plenty of smaller fish stealing the bait before anything decent can be enticed. Barwon Banks early last week supplied local anglers with snapper, parrot and perlies in good numbers.

Caloundra 12 Mile has boasted amberjack up to 47.5kg, with a big catch of smaller ones for some lucky anglers. The cobia have been small in number this season. I have seen a couple of good ones around the boat but failed to entice them into belting the bait. A few up to 15kg were caught out at Murphys but all in all it is a very quiet season at this stage.

The westerly winds are in place, so I don’t think too many will venture out, but fishing off the shoreline and rocks should provide plenty of entertainment for the keen anglers. Shelly Beach in particular, at low tide, off the rocks, will produce a feed of bream, sweetlip or squire. Try pilchards or mullet fillets, and if you can get your hands on it, fresh squid. Cast into the wash and let the current take the bait out.

Remember when fishing off the rocks, never take your eyes off the waves, and where possible have someone spotting while you fish, and take it in turns.

Stay wet! !!!!!!!!!!!

The big news this week was of quality tailor - up to 4kg along the North Shore at night, particularly around the first cutting. During the day dart, whiting tarwhine and flathead were well spread on the surf beaches. Castaways and Marcus beaches also worked well for the big greenbacks and some quality flathead. The National Park headland rocks worked well for quality bream, garfish and whiting, plus more thumper tailor.

In the river, flathead were in good numbers, with best results coming from the Frying Pan, the back of Noosa Sound, Weyba Creek and along the Gympie Terrace stretch. Trevally, bream and tailor were also active in the Woods Bays and Weyba Creek, morning and evening.

Offshore, snapper were in excellent numbers at Double Island Point, as were red emperor, spotted and Spanish mackerel, Maori cod, pearl perch, mac tuna, amberjack and yellow fin tuna. The Barwon Banks produced some quality pearl perch and snapper. Some big cobia were taken in close, with squire, parrot and moses perch common to all visited reefs.

On the freshwater scene, the bass at Lake MacDonald were most active around Three Ways, taking flies and Rattlin' Traps.

Good Fishing, from the team at Davo's Bait and Tackle Noosa.

Hervey Bay

And so another weekend comes and goes, with 20-25knots making life difficult! Not to worry, there are still plenty of fish to be had in the sheltered areas. Probably the pick of the spots will be in the lee of Point Vernon while the winds continue. Some good catches of winter whiting are coming from this area.

A few reefies are also to be had over the shallow reefs. Get out early before the wind gets going, for best results.

Bream are making an appearance around all the rocky areas. Once again Point Vernon is good but fish are also being taken at the Boat Harbour and the Pier.

No-one has been game to venture out much further with the winds, but when they abate there is some good quality squire on the Artificial Reef and plenty of tuna and mackerel working throughout the bay.

The annual “Take A Kid Fishing Day” was on again last Sunday. It was held at Elliott Heads and started at 9.00am. Children who attended had to be accompanied by a parent/guardian and have registered at Salty’s by 2.00pm on Saturday, 5th June. There were giveaways, prizes and experienced fishing specialists on hand to help answer any questions the kids had.

On to the fishing report – The diver whiting should be on, and if not, they won’t be far away. We’re getting good reports of tailor, but there is not a lot of size to them yet.

Gary, from Salty’s, had a hot couple of days fishing plastics down the Burnett River last week. On the first day, his biggest bream went 31cm and 29cm on the second. Great fun on 4lb Fireline!

The reefs have been fishing well, with good reports of trout, reds and Spanish mackerel.

Best breezes,

I’m back on deck after a couple weeks on Fraser Island - life can be tough!

Real winter weather hasn't arrived yet, so everyone's waiting for the high pressure systems to move north and the winds to come off the land.

When that happens, mackerel fishing in Keppel Bay will be many peoples' focus. There were early spotties around back in May, so indications are looking good.

Meanwhile, the estuaries are providing excellent flathead at the moment, many of good size. They are taking both bait and lures, and those exponents of plastics are having a ball. Please remember the bag limit of five though and the maximum size of 70cm.

I'm hearing the whiting are copping a flogging from nets and that's a great shame.

The full moon has just gone and it was a bit too early to fire the bream up, but next month should see them on the chew. Same goes for snapper in the bay. Later this month, and next, I'll be sniffing around in the hope of
finding one around the Keppels.

Spanish mackerel are still worth chasing, when the weather permits, around the wider islands and up north.

There should be a few blue salmon in the estuaries, that will take a metal lure or fresh bait. Coorooman Creek and Corio are the best bets.

OFFSHORE:
Trout and sweetlip catches are holding up in 50m of water, close to the inner reefs.

Spanish mackerel are off the points and are taking gar under a float.

INSHORE:
Roundtop Island, in front of the Pioneer River, is fishing well. Ten Spanish mackerel and an 18kg black king were taken by Steve McKenzie on Friday night.

Locals and tourists are taking advantage of the sennet (pike) bait schooling near the harbour breakwall. They are rigging them up live then sending them back to the bottom in the same area, for queenfish and trevally. While conditions are favourable catches have been made every day.

CREEKS:
The recent full moon produced whiting and bream from Sandy and Bakers creeks and the middle reaches of the Pioneer River. Floating stripes of pilchard and mullet bait along the rock walls works well.

Small sized queenfish can be found towards the mouth of the Pioneer, using Storm poppers or herring bait, which have also nailed a few fish.

It is still a bit windy up this end of the country but we did got a few days midweek, that allowed some bluewater fishing to take place, and as has been the case all year, the fish were on the bite. Spanish mackerel, nannygai, red emperor and coral trout were all plentiful, with the trend expected to continue for a while yet.

Nearby is a photo of a huge coral trout that was caught on local charter boat "Pirate II". The angler was 15 year old Kris Coppi.

Lots of doggie mackerel are in Cleveland Bay at the moment, and with plenty of bait in the bay they should hang around for quiet a while.

Estuary fishing has been the main option for the past few weeks, with plenty of whiting, bream and grunter on the bite. If you’re looking to do something a little different there is always the freshwater option.

Last week I took my two boys for a fish up the Herbert River and had great time. There were heaps of sooty grunter, tarpon and a few barra to test out the light gear and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a lot of fun without too much hard work. Nearby are a few photos from the weekend.

Hopefully the weather will drop off during the week and allow us to get out and chase a few of those bluewater fish.

Until next week, Good Fishing.

Hi Friends

The cooler weather has brought out the popper choppers in the form of huge queenfish and giant trevally. With the run up to the full moon early in the week, it just went off. No matter what we threw at them, fish were climbing all over the offerings.
Queenfish, trevally and the like really do like the cooler water temperatures, which are currently around 22 degrees C in the channel.

The south easter was still huffing and puffing through the week, and we were not able to fish the sugar loader, but I am sure it would have fired up also, given fishable conditions. There is plenty of bait in the channel, which is the very reason I guess why there are some many pelagic predators in town.

For the crabbers, numbers of large bucks are being reported, but do not forget to safely set your pots.

For those planning a visit to the north over the next few months, take great care and keep a sharp eye out when driving areas that have cane trains crossing roadways. Many collisions occur each year involving drivers not being aware of these trains.

After much protest and lobbying by many stakeholders, the Queensland environment Minister has confirmed that consultation will be undertaken with “all interested parties in the Great Barrier Reef region” in relation to complementary zoning in state marine parks. It will now be interesting to see how the state intends to give stake holders the opportunity to have input into the plan for state waters. In all fairness, this process should not follow the same process put in place by the federal plan, as many folks are now totally disillusioned by that round of consultation. There are just so many concerns relating to state inshore waters that adjoin the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. If you are an angler who accesses coastal state inshore waters, rivers and creeks, be aware the state plan could restrict access on top of the federal marine park exclusions, that come into force on July 1st.

Will we see ads in the press, public meetings, or in fact are the press releases confirming that consultation will take place or is it just paying lip service. At this point in time interested parties and the general public still have to pay ten dollars for the state draft plan. This draft has in fact been formulated without full public consultation, over the past few years, and one wonders if any new further proposed consultation will bring about a rewrite of the draft anyway.

The sad part of this whole deal is the average person who may have real concerns about loosing access to there local state inshore waters have not been given an easily accessible avenue to put their point of view forward.

Overall, not a lot has changed since the last report. Unfortunately we have been experiencing blustery conditions, which has limited fishing tactics.

The best reports have seen 80cm queenfish quite active inside the Daintree River mouth, taken on live sardines. The grunter brigade are happy to slurp down a strip bait on the dropping tides on the flats and there has been a good run of bream, sicklefish and trevally in the harbour of our local estuary. A few smaller jacks are still active amongst the timber further upstream but there is no real size to them.

Fishing was harder around the full moon with gushing tides. However there appears to be a small break in the weather, as a couple of low pressure systems are coming our way. If this maintains its path the opportunity to hit the blue water will be more appealing. Mackerel, coral trout, nannygai and small marlin are just some of the species different anglers and operators will be lining up. It's been nearly three months of battling the elements in the tropics and fingers crossed the coming long weekend can offer some reprieve. By gee's we deserve it !

REPORT:
The fantastic offshore action continued this week in spite of some very poor weather conditions. Highlight was the final day when the boys caught (and lost) fish all day, from the time we arrived off Boyd Bay until the time we left them biting to make the hour long run home.

The sharks were hungry, and at times, aggressive, and lure losses were the worst we've ever encountered - around 90 for the day between the three boats! The tally must have been well over 120 trevally and 50 tuna for the day, plus half a dozen cobia and various finny scad and small mackerel. The fishing was awesome!

Earlier in the week, the action had been nearly as good, but the wind spoiled the hot bite after a couple of hours. One triple hook-up in my boat turned out to be all giant trevally. We landed two around the 17 kilo mark but lost the largest when the hook straightened after 40 minutes.

New fisho, Tony, started his career off very well when a marlin ate his first tuna right beside the boat, then roared off to the sound of a screaming drag. The line parted just as the marlin was about to jump a short time after.

A couple of top sessions on big queenfish also livened things up when it was too rough to reach the offshore action. Michael landed the best barra in the river, at 80cms, and there were quite a few others landed, along with some big king and blue salmon, mangrove jacks, fingermark, cod, groper, queenfish and golden trevally.

Craig and Ben broke out the fly gear on a couple of occasions, with Craig finding his backing was a little short for hot running tuna when he hooked his first. His companions didn't say a thing - well not for a few seconds anyway.They were too busy laughing!! A superb week with a top bunch of blokes!!
