COMPILED WEEKLY BY GARRY SMITH IN CAIRNS:
e-mail: lavallesmith@iig.com.au
Gold Coast
We finally had some rain on the Gold Coast last week which should hopefully see the fishing up the rivers improve. Strong winds blew most afternoons but the sea was moderately calm which made the mornings good for an offshore run.

Those who headed offshore during the week were rewarded with steady fishing. The pelagic scene was very slow at the start of the week with only pesky mack tuna snaffling trolled lures. Towards the end of the week some good yellowfin tuna were taken off Southport on Rapalas, Halco Crazy Deeps and Mackbaits trolled around the bird congregations. There were also plenty of good size mack tuna mixed in with the schools and it was often hard to get through these fish to the yellows underneath.

The shallow reefs fished well around dawn and in the early evening with squire, parrot and flathead taking baits drifted to the bottom using light sinkers. A few jew were taken in the same area on live baits as well as the occasional cobia.

The 24 fathom reefs fished well for reasonable snapper, parrot, tailor and some quality trag. Floatlining was the best method to snare a late season snapper and baits of pilchard or fresh tuna strips were very effective. The addition of a small glow sinker or bead also increases catch rates.

The 36’s produced a mixed bag of reef fish during the week, with squire, trag and parrot the most common captures. The best baits were fresh fish strips, pilchard or squid.

On the 50’s most of the action came by jigging heavy metals. Plenty of yellowtail kingfish, amberjack and sampsonfish were taken on heavy metal jigs, with the River2Sea jigs working very well.

The estuaries have been fishing steadily during the week with flathead, whiting and bream the most common captures. The Seaway produced plenty of fish with some quality tailor and trevally taken on the incoming tide on metal jigs, trolled minnows and live mullet or herring. Some great flathead were taken on large soft plastic shads and live mullet at the base of the northern rock wall. A few jew were taken on live baits around the end of the north wall, with the odd shark showing up as well. Yellowtail kingfish were once again in good numbers during the week, with soft plastics, flies and live baits all producing good fish. The area around the north wall on Wavebreak Island and the Pipeline were good areas to try.

The Broadwater has been fishing very well for quality flathead and whiting during last week. Flathead were taken throughout the Broadwater on soft plastic lures, diving minnows and live baits. Most of the action came around weed beds, sandbanks and steep drop-offs. While most of the fish have been in the 40-60cm bracket there have been plenty well over that size.

Whiting have showed up around the sandbanks in the Broadwater on live yabbies and beach worms. Good areas to try included the Sovereign Island Bridge, the entrance to Brown’s Bay, the southern end of Crab Island and the inside of Wavebreak Island. Further up the rivers the whiting were a bit slower but most were of a good size.

Bridges, canal entrances and rock bars have been producing bream, flathead, trevally and mangrove jack in the Nerang. Small live mullet and herring worked well, as did small to medium deep diving minnows and soft plastic grubs.

The beaches have been fishing very well although the mornings were much more pleasant for the fishermen. There are still quite a few tailor around with the southern end of South Straddie, the gutters to the south of the sand pumping jetty, Burleigh Headland and Fingal Head being the most consistent areas. Pilchards seemed to work a bit better than metal lures during the week, with some patience and hard work required to catch fish. The odd school jew and a few bigger models have been taken from the South Straddie beaches during the week on fresh slabs of tailor or a whole beach worms on a long shank hook.

There have been plenty of dart and whiting around with most of the whiting above the 30cm mark. Beach worms and pippies were the best bait for these species. A few bream and tarwhine have turned up in the deeper gutters on pilchards and beach worms.

With the bit of rain that we had last week the bays and inlets around Hinze Dam have been the spot to try for bass and the odd silver perch. Soft plastics, shallow running minnows and surface lures and flies have produced plenty of solid bass over the past week. Baits of garden worm or shrimp have been catching silver perch and a few bass along the banks. Trolling the rocky points and banks has also produced plenty of bass. Quite a few saratoga are being taken in the eastern arm of the dam on surface lures and flies. While these fish are no good to eat they are spectacular fighters and well worth targeting.

Moreton Bay

The bay has been a little slow over the last week, possibly due to relatively small tides. The big schools of mack tuna are yet to arrive but they should not be too far away. A few schools of small mack tuna and frigates are working the area between Combyuro and The Curtain on the run in tide. A few longtails are still being caught in the area between Mud Island, the Measured Mile and The Greasy Hole. The bottom of the run out has been fairly good in this area. The South Passage Bar is also worth a look for a few schools of tuna, as well as tailor, which have occasionally been feeding on the surface between The Bar and Amity.

Good numbers of flathead have been caught in all the estuaries and creeks, with the Jumpinpin area being a good option for those who like to troll a few lures or cast a few plastics. Adam from the shop has been cleaning up on the new Mojo 4” Twin Tails in the rootbeer colour, with one trip last week yielding 28 flathead to 87cm, all of which were released.

Plenty of anglers have been wading the flats around the mouth of the Pine River for decent numbers of school flathead to 55cm on cast soft plastics and flies. The area around The Wells has been especially productive on the last of the run-out and first of the run in.

The western beaches at Moreton have been worth the effort with anglers getting good numbers of flathead while casting from the beach at a variety of gutters as well as the Timbers south of Tangalooma. Soft plastics and flies have been productive but a small diver whiting or hardihead pinned through the head with a 2/0 Mustad 4200D on a 1m trace with a No.3 split shot pinned half way along it, will always produce results when there are a few flatties around. Just pull the rod back to slowly retrieve the bait and then wind the handle of the reel as you return the rod to the starting position. If you feel a bump, stop and count to three before striking. Continue your retrieves until the bait is all the way back to the shore and then cast again. It works a treat.

A few squire have been caught along western side of Peel and the Houseboat Wreck but overall it has been a little quiet. A few good quality tailor have also been caught on soft plastics fished along the edge of the reef.

Reasonable numbers of whiting have been caught around the Sand Hills and Amity Banks for those anglers who persevere. Live worms or squid strips have been a good option but also expect a few small bar-tail flathead and good numbers of grinners.

May your bait be nervous.

Moreton Bay - Wide
The weather was fine this past week, allowing us to operate charters on Tuesday, Wednesday and both weekend days. Mixed reef fish were the order of the day, with excellent pearl perch to 57 cm boated. Snappery squire, Maori cod, parrot, black-spot and gold-spot wrasse were also among the catch, making for a good variety of shapes and colours in the fish box.

A welcome return of large kingfish to the shallow reefs was a very pleasing feature. Monster kings over four feet long in the old scale were feeding in our berley trail. If you want to lose tackle, hook one of these unstoppable brutes. The fight is always brief and fierce, and the kings always win. There are more manageable specimens up to about 15 kg about as well, and if you are very skillful and lucky you might win a tussle with one of these babies.

Northerlies and afternoon storms usually accompany the start of Spring, so an early start and finish are the order of the day at the moment. Keep an eye on the sky while you are on the water, especially to the north-west and south-west, for building storms. If you are not happy with the dark clouds, go home.

Whales are now heading south after their migration. There are plenty of them to see even in Moreton Bay at this time of year.
Tight lines and good fishing.

Keith Hall

Bribie Is. & Caloundra
Caloundra is still producing a great range of fish at the moment. There is no question that his has to be one of the best seasons that we have seen for a number of years.

Catches have included some monster flathead well over the 70cm mark, along with luderick on weed, bream up to 1kg, the occasion trevally and chopper tailor, whiting on blood worms at night out from the powerboat club, with the biggest weighing in just over a kilo, and normal size around 750grams in shallow water up to 18 inches in depth. That is a lot of variety for any place and makes me proud that I am still working class and can enjoy my sport.

Outside Caloundra 7 and 9 Mile reefs are still producing average snapper to 3kg.

Some nice sweetlip are at Murphys and for the bigger snapper you need some patience.

School mackerel are at Rape’s Shoal, none with any great size but stacks of fun on light gear. There is still loads of baitfish for the live baiting experience of a life time out at Murphys or Barwon Banks.

Out at the Banks the weekend before last produced some cracker pearlies with the odd 5kg red emperor showing its head. The whales are still crashing around out there so there’s no time to get bored.

I have found that fan tailing some nice big yellowtail on a 3 gang 6/0 swivel hook rig and floating it has produced the best result on snapper at the moment. A little luck on a rig like that may even produce you a nice fighting amberjack. Don’t make the mistake of putting the hooks through the side of the fish. The whole reason for fan tailing the bait is to make it look as natural as possible, so set the hooks along the spine to the top of the bait.

There are stacks of fishing competitions about to make their mark on the Sunshine Coast so every angler should get into them and enjoy some of the prizes and fun they have to offer. The River to Reef is the big one. Just send me an e-mail and I will forward all the particulars including an entry form.

The next week should be great for all types of fishing so get out there and get wet and enjoy yourself!

Currimundi to Coolum
Currimundi Reef -The school mackerel have really slowed down over the last week, but as you all know (or hope anyway ! ) they will be back in force with the next moon. It's interesting that when the schoolies were chewing their heads off during the day, at night particularly around dusk and dawn, saw some great catches of reefies, especially sweetlip and large squire. Keep your ear to the ground and with a bit of planning you can get a feed of both mackerel and reef fish.

Currimundi Creek has quiet a few small bream still, which are a good bit of fun on soft plastics or fly, especially if you’re new to these forms of fishing.

Mooloolaba River has seen a bit of action from those fishing live baits in the lower reaches - mainly golden trevally - not a bad size either. I'd release them, but I also believe we should enjoy all aspects of fishing and one of them is eating great fresh fish. Some anglers won't like me saying that because they are goldies but the law says you can take them to eat. The secret is to police yourself to not take more than is needed to eat fresh fish. To get the most out of the flavour, bleed it, spike it and ice it immediately. A few beers and fresh fish - good stuff!!

Most of the reef fishing has been wide, mainly with snapper and pearlies (thou not big they are tasty!) and a few hussar, parrot and cod thrown in. Once again the area off the southern end of the Barwon Banks has produced the best quality. The Hards, NNE up above the north end of the banks, should also be firing this time of the year for pearlies, king snapper and snapper. As the weather settles it would be worth a look. Remember this is big boat territory, so be careful!!

Maroochy River is starting to look like it'll produce a reasonable flathead season with a couple of good ones trolled up on Mad Mullets just downstream from the Cod Hole. Trolling for flathead is a good way to get kids into lure fishing. Just get a couple of lures that will bang the bottom and troll down current watching the sounder, trolling a contour line in the estuary. It's best to troll down current as the flathead will be lying on the bottom looking up into the current waiting for the food to come to them - hey presto here comes your lure. They know it's coming as they can feel it banging the bottom through their belly, which is in contact with the bottom – sort of like the Indian sticking his ear to the ground listening for the Cavalry coming.

There are still a few bream in the snags up above the Coolum Creek area. The fishing here is best till the sun gets on the water. As long as there is a bit of shadow there's a good chance of finding a few seeking cover.

Have a bit a fun,


Gavin

Northern Sunshine Coast

There have been a number of quality whiting weighed in at Davo's this week, with many around the 580 gram mark. Live yabbies and live sand worms are the top baits being used. The river mouth, the Woods Bays and Weyba Creek are all standout locations for these big whiting, with some good bream and flathead thrown in amongst them.

The odd trevally came in from Noosa Harbour, plus some good tailor and bream from around the Munna Point bridge area.

On the surf beaches, quality bream have been caught on the North Shore. Local legend Cliff Andreassen landing a 5.4kg tailor and a 12.3kg jewfish on the one night last week. Cliff uses bonito fillet, as do most of the specialist tailor fishermen.

Offshore, cobia have been in good numbers and size lately, with Massouds Reef and North Reef both producing well. North Reef is also producing quality sweetlip, northern bluefin and yellowfin tuna.

The Noosa North Shore Fishing Challenge is set for September 17th-19th. Enter at Davo's Bait and Tackle.

Hervey Bay

Perfect conditions have resulted in heaps of effort but not a lot of success.
The main problem appears to be the very clear water that we currently have. Structures in 16m on the Arti have been visible. Coral bream are starting to appear but at this stage are on the small side.

School mackerel at the beacons have been the most consistent report, along with whiting off the beaches late afternoon and garfish on the jetties and pier.

In Platypus Bay a few snapper have been taken but nothing to rave about.

Those venturing into the creeks report a few muddies starting to move and a few prawns in the Burrum system.

Bundaberg
This past week has seen some hot fishing in the rivers. Some really good quality whiting have been caught with some in the 38-42cm range. Drifting the shallow sand flats with worms, yabbies and fresh peeled prawns is a great way to catch this species.

Also while drifting the flats some very good quality flathead have been caught. Fishing around the rocky areas should also produce some nice big bream with some flathead mixed in. Other captures include cod, jack and the odd blue salmon.

Another hot favourite this week has been Lake Monduran, with some excellent captures of barra. Some of them were over one metre long, but most were an average of 90-95cm. Casting the shallow flats in some of the bays and fishing shallow lures such as gold Bombers, B52’s and Barra Classic 120’s should bring results. Cast along the bank and slow roll back in.

Best breezes,

As I had advised, I will try and keep you up to date on what's happening on the barra scene at Lake Monduran. The past week has seen the winds coming from all directions and for those of us who can take advantage of the northerlies have been having some luck on the big silver guys. The fishing on the dam is still quite tough but if you put in the time you should be duly rewarded. Average size of the barra coming in has been between 85cm and 1m plus with reports of a few rats around the 50cm mark.

My 12 year old daughter lost two nice barra at the nose of the boat on Father’s Day and if you get the chance to speak to Foxy (manager of the dam) tell him to stop blaming the good looking guy who was working the video and not organizing the landing net for the loss of his 1m barra. I told him he was just useless and could not handle the pressure. I scored a 4ft freshwater eel on a B52 - first time for everything I suppose. Pick of the lures have been gold Bombers and B52's of all colours. If you are planning a trip to Monduran make sure to give John and Jacky a call as the accommodation is filling up fast this year. Don't forget the Family Fishing Classic, which is being held on the 9th and 10th October.

Stanage Bay
Howdy to all ye fishers from Stanage Bay, Shoalwater Bay and the surrounding islands.

Well what a fantastic week. Good tides, mostly good weather and heaps of reef fish. A big pat on the back to the Monto boys for filling their eskies and having a fantastic time at The Oasis and on the reef.

The brat pack from Brisbane weighed in some of their good daily catches of reefies. (Boy I wish I had a digital camera to post them on the net – soon.) I’m not sure of all their names, but Craig, Abbo, Scotty, Ben and Allan were just a few who posed proudly. There were Spanish mackerel, trout, red throat, sweetlip and cod from the reef, and barra from the creek. Onya boys.

Dave is a bit camera shy, but he springs from the Gold Coast up here every now and again, and finally I snapped him with one of his nice thread fin salmon. Dave only takes what he can eat normally, but I was treated to that salmon. Dave tackled the reef today and won, catching a huge red emperor, and did his good deed for the day in giving it away. He caught plenty of others too but said they were too nice to kill - wow.

Paul and Kev from Brisbane are keeping a low profile in the weigh-in and photo side, but admitted they have had some great catches and are very happy.

I have only seen one sad face this week - poor lad said he would be happier if he caught more fish. What can I say.

Look out everyone in November and January, for the Gladstone boys will be back to terrorize us all again. No doubt big Brad, Richo, Kevy, and Buz will be bragging about the size of their catches. Hopefully I will have the digital camera and new computer to boot by then.

Well we all know it’s out of season for the crabs up here, but some keep on trying, including the pros. A hint from me - give up till the end of November and go fishing instead.

We had 25 mm of rain a couple weeks ago which has greened everything nicely - bring on some more. In saying that, it has made the road in places a bit greasy and muddy, so once again take it easy.

Remember the fish are still biting well up here and the big jew will be on the chew again in October. Make sure you don't miss out and book your self-contained accommodation with Von or one of the girls at Stanage Bay Marine & Accommodation. Remember we have a huge range of beaut bait and tackle at fantastic prices.

If you know anyone who wants a nice boat, but not a yuppie boat, then give Von a call about her 42ft x-marine park beauty. It’s now regretfully for sale. She's in survey and is ready for charters or just to cruise and fish the coast or creeks - what a boat!

A big thank you to my sister Peach for keeping you posted the last couple of weeks. I'm sure you all needed to know, somehow I seem to have lost my sea legs.

Until next week, keep reeling in the big ones.

Yours in fishing and crabbing

The fish bit their heads off on Wednesday and Thursday, then a lot of cold air and wind blew in for yet another burst of winter. Slowly the water is heating up, but not nearly early enough for most. Monday should be a great day on the water provided the Bureau of Meteorology is wrong again - 20-30kts is forecast.

Andrew & Brian form Sydney. (Water temp in the dam 19 - 24C)
On their third visit to Peter Faust Dam, Brian and Andrew got into some good fish. During the first day Brian caught a nice 77cm barra and missed a couple of other fish. The water cooled down again with winds forecast up to 20kts. Luckily the weather bureau was wrong. The breeze barely got over 15kts. Sunday was a nice day with calm conditions up to 11am.
It was Andrews turn to shine on Sunday, and shine he did. Brian missed the first two fish of the day, one being a metre plus. About 20 minutes after the big miss, Andrew caught a monster 115cm barra. This was the heaviest fish I have landed on a charter - about 60-65 pounds. The jury is still out on whether it was Brian's fish as the hookup was only metres away from the first swirl. After a vigorous photo session she was released, a little tired, but fit to fight another day. Cradle lifting these big fish is a must, unless you want to see dead barra floating around the dam.

About half an hour after that Andrew was into another good fish, not as good as the first, but a bit more feisty. This one went 105cm and approx 40 pounds. Good stuff guys.

Cairns - Reports compiled by Garry Smith

The reef has been fishing well up until the current blow, with deep water trout the main players amongst a good mixed bag of fish. A few Spaniards are still about out wide.

The estuaries were starting to fire for barra, jacks and fingermark but this cool south easterly will slow things down until we get another fee days of light winds.

There are still plenty of prawns about, especially in Trinity Inlet.

The jacks are back and they’re big and bust’n to bust you up. With the water temperature on the rise the jacks have come out to play and they’re not playing very nicely. There are a heap of new snags in the river for the toothy little blighters to get into. Most of them are in the 40cm range with lots around 45cm. They are feeding on both live and strip baits.

There are also grunter up the creek over the flats and they are biting on small river herring.

There are macs out the front, with the wind down, and off the local jetty. If you haven’t got out yet, get out there because the tides are on the rise.

Report:
There was some great offshore fishing again this week with heaps of big tea leaf trevally and tuna working an area south of the river mouth. Josh had a strike of a surface lure from a massive Spaniard, one of the largest he’d ever seen but it failed to hook up. Nearby, Sureyya hooked a big Spaniard on a giant trembler only to have it taken by a 4 metre whaler. Sharks proved to be a real problem, grabbing jigs and slices as fast as we could get them in the water at one stage. There were so many of them that the ‘real’ fish didn’t get a chance to bite.

We found a few patches of longtails and everyone landed a couple. Stuart scored a massive giant herring on a slice, the fish running so fast and hard, I was sure it was a big shark. The GH weighed over 7 kilos.

Lovely Sureyya landed the fish of the week, a massive fingermark going better than 80cms and over 10 kilos in weight. The fish took a 90cm Halco Scorpion in 3 metres of water at the same spot we’d lost a similar lure in a huge bust off only the troll before.

Up the rivers, the barra proved a bit patchy but a couple of nice fish were landed. Jude scored the best, around the 70cm mark. The lure casting proved to be a bit tough with plenty of fish raised but most were very lethargic about hitting hard. Some nice jacks, fingernmark, queenfish, cod, tarpon, archerfish, pikey bream were also taken on the lures. Water temps are getting up around the 27/28 degree mark, so it can’t be long before the barras really come on the bite. A great week all the same.

BOOKING NEWS:
2005 bookings are still coming in steadily with spots in April and May getting scarce and June, September and October starting already. 2005 prices have been finalized (as best as possible given rising fuel prices) with every Fishing Package client receiving a complimentary pair of Go So (with DDS logo) sungloves in 2005. Make sure that you book early to avoid disappointment!

WEB SITE NEWS:
The Dave Donald SPORTFISHING web site (www,weipafishing.com) has had problems this year due to the poor performance of a server. This has now been rectified and the Fishing Report section and Photo Gallery are slowly being rebuilt. Hopefully, from now on, there will be photos from each week’s catches on the site as the reports are added. Have a look this week at Sureyya’s fantastic fingermark and Stuart’s humungus herring!
