Live beach worms are the go in Noosa River to attract the best catches. Jace from O Boat Hire is demonstrating how long some can grow but when fishing you only need… Read More →

Harrison and Alannah up on holidays from #Sydney were chuffed to land a heap of chunky whiting on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour.

At times when schools of baitfish are about there was plenty of action at the river mouth with plenty of flathead, tailor, trevally, and whiting feeding. As the baitfish moved up river the Frying Pan, Woods Bay and Gympie Terrace waters were also active with flathead, tailor, bream, whiting and trevally.
Up the reaches towards Lake Weyba we saw the same varieties being caught along with a few moses perch and estuary cod and up before Lake Cooroiba the same with the odd mangrove jack in the deeper holes and around structures.
There are still plenty of big whiting up to 40 odd cm active on the sand flats and best results are in the Noosaville reaches and on live sand worms.
Right up river between the top two lakes there are tarpon to be caught, jacks and the odd threadfin salmon and jewies on the prowl.
Both tides are fishing well with more action towards the top of each tide and less on the lower tide changes. Live baitfish, worms and yabbies always give you the edge but fresh prawns, soft plastics and lures are also worth a go.
There are still a few sand crabs around Weyba Creek and lower reaches.
There is the odd shower and late storm about this week with some windy periods however there is always plenty of safe calm waters to fish in the Noosa River.

Until next week good luck from the boys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

Up on holidays from the Hunter Valley Robert earned himself with the fish of the week with this nice 40cm whiting he caught on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour.

Still good whiting are on the bite this week but most of them have moved up river with the best catches up at Lake Cooroibah.
The Noosa river mouth was patchy with mainly larger predators on the prowl of baitfish where we saw tailor, trevally and the odd cobia caught and jew fish active very early or late in the day. Live bait seem to work best as always here.
The frying Pan, Woods Point and Bays have whiting, bream, flathead and the odd trevally on the bite while Weyba Creek much the same with some moses perch and cod also. The stretch along Noosaville saw whiting on the sand banks, bream, flathead and trevally caught mostly on live worms, yabbies or white bait.
Further up at both entrances to the first lake we saw good sized whiting, some flathead and bream but the bottom of the tide showed little action.
Between the top lakes early and late there are a few large jewies and jacks on offer and more active if you have live bait fish or lures can also work.
There are still several sand crabs getting around the mouth of Weyba Creek and opposite Munna Beach.
Partly cloudy to start the week but then sunny days leading up to what looks like another busy weekend on the Noosa River and just some cloud early next week.

Until next week good luck from the boys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

It’s not always the biggest fish that make the day as this 32cm grunter bream was Luke’s first fish he has caught. Up from Sydney he and dad Noah had a great day out on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour.

Whiting were the go this week with up to 42cm elbow slappers caught in the lower reaches right up to the first lake and out to Lake Weyba with best results on live beach worms.
We saw some big jew fish, flathead and bream caught at the river mouth, Frying Pan and Woods Bay mostly on life bait fish, gar fish and plastics.
Weyba Creek is producing good flathead, bream, moses perch and the odd estuary cod whilst the Gympie terrace stretch of river has good whiting, flathead and a few bream. Further up past Tewantin and the ski run try your luck for a few tarpon and trevally at early mornings and just before Lake Cooroibah for flathead, trevally and the odd mangrove jack.
Also some good mangrove jack along with big threadfin salmon and some bream are active between the top two lakes on live bait fish and lures.
Both tides are fishing well but avoid the changeover at the bottom as quite slow.
It’s worth also throwing in a few pots as there are plenty of sand crabs in Weyba Creek and opposite Munna Beach.
Another great week ahead with sunny days and just the odd chance of a shower Friday and partly cloudy over the weekend. It’s a great time of year to enjoy the Noosa River but don’t forget the hat and sunscreen.

Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures

Scott and Daniel from Melbourne were stoked to land this 84cm School Jew on a Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour during their holiday in Noosa.

One of the busiest October holidays we have seen has also seen lots of good fishing throughout the Noosa River. An abundance of whiting are being caught around the river mouth, Frying Pan and Woods Bay along with several flathead up to 90cm, trevally and bream. An odd school jew and jack is on the prowl too.
Weyba Creek has some good flathead and being caught on soft plastics or live baitfish with best results on the drift. Whilst through the Noosaville reaches up to Tewantin lots of whiting are on the bite, mainly on live worms or yabbies with a few flathead and bream chipping in as well.
Up river between the ski run and car ferry there whiting and bream on the sand flats and the best fishing is towards the top of each tide. At the southern entrance of Lake Cooroibah and between the top lakes it’s worth a try for a few mangrove jacks and jew fish but best at night time on live baits.
Now that the main holiday makers have left it’s also worth dropping in a couple crab pots as there are a few sand crabs or blue swimmers before Lake Weyba mouth and opposite Munna beach on the north side of river.
With only a chance of the odd late shower on Wednesday and Sunday it’s looking like another perfect week ahead for boaties or just to enjoy the Noosa River from the banks.

Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Advenrtures.

Caity had a fab time out fishing on a Sunday’s Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour. Up from Canberra she showed dad how it was done with a nice 32cm whiting.

A busy school holidays is seeing plenty of boats and anglers along with some good fishing. Whiting are in good numbers from the river mouth to Tewantin and a few big flathead around the Frying Pan and Woods Point. Bream are in the deeper water and a few tailor and trevally on the bite as well.
Weyba Creek is producing whiting on the sand banks, bream and estuary cod in the holes and flathead. The back of Noosa Sound good for a few bream, flathead and trevally. The Noosaville reaches from Munna Point to Tewantin is fishing well for whiting in the shallow waters especially on live worms or yabbies and a few bream and flathead. On the high tide try a few lures and plastics in Woods Bay for a few active trevally and maybe a jew fish or three.
Going up river there are whiting, flathead and bream before the Ferry crossing and just before Lake Cooroibah. Up between the top two lakes, evenings or after dark is firing for a few mangrove jack and school jew on lures or live baits.
The bottom of the tide is slow fishing but generally both tides are giving excellent rewards and if you can try live worms, yabbies, and baitfish for best results.
The waterways are very busy during the holidays so stick to the quieter spots, be conscious of others and boat safely. The weather looks awesome for the next week being mostly sunny throughout and reaching the top 20’s most days.

Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

Carter and his mates had a great day out on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure boat catching whiting and had the best birthday.

The school holidays are building up as well as the fishing activity with most of the action in the lower reaches of Noosa River. Good whiting were plentiful inside the river mouth and the Frying Pan on live worms and yabbies. Flathead up to 80cm or so were caught at the river mouth, Woods Point and Bay and on the drift in the Noosaville stretch as were a few Golden Trevally and cale cale.
Venturing up Weyba Creek there are a few whiting on the sand banks, bream and the odd flattie. The back of Noosa Sound produced whiting, beam and trevally.
Grunter bream up to 35cm are about in Noosa Sound, around the Tewantin area and before just Lake Cooroibah as are a few whiting and flathead.
If you have some live bait its worth trying in the evening for mangrove jack and the odd jew fish around Noosa Marina and between the top lakes.
Both tides are fishing ok but avoid the bottom of the tide as slows considerably then. Live worms, prawns, yabbies and baitfish work best but if not available try mullet strips, lures and your soft plastics.
With the holidays comes a lot of boating activity with fish shying off during the busy times, so get out early or have a late run and try the non-congested areas.
There looks to be the odd shower and storm during the this week however the weather is fining up for a sunny weekend. Good fishing and boat safe.

Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

Curtis from #Brisbane was all smiles when he landed a nice whiting and grunter bream when on tour in this week’s Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

A productive week of #fishing saw plenty of whiting and bream caught on the sand flats in the Frying Pan and around the river mouth. They were also active along the #Noosaville reaches and Munna Point and best results were on live worms or yabbies.
Flathead and trevally up to 65cm and 55cm respectively were landed at the river mouth, Woods Point and Bay and prevalent up Weyba Creek along with a few estuary cod in the deeper holes. Drifting seemed more successful too.
Good sized bream and the odd mangrove jack were taken at Noosa Marina after dark as well as before Lake Cooroibah and the odd jew fish between the top lakes.
Mullet strips were going off as well as lures and soft plastics working up a good action. Both tides are fishing well with slow periods at the turn of each tide.
It’s still worth throwing in a couple crab pots as there are a few muddies still about through the river system and the odd blue swimmer.
With the start of the holidays this #weekend the waterways will be busy so stick to early morning or late afternoon and the quieter spots as the fish can be timid.
The weather looks great with a sunny week and only the possibility of an odd shower over the weekend and early in the week. Good fishing and boat safe.
