The two John’s from far afield with one from New Zealand and the other in England had a great day on the #NoosaFishingandCrab Adventure. Nothing better than pulling up a crab pot and 30mins later a gourmet tasting on a plate.

The Father’s Day weekend produced some excellent catches for all the dad’s having a day’s fishing on #NoosaRiver with flathead, bream and whiting all in good numbers. The river mouth and Frying Pan performed well for these as well as the odd tailor. The Woods Bay, Munna Beach and the Gympie Terrace were good for flathead and whiting particularly on live worms and yabbies on the sand banks. Weyba Creek had flathead, whiting, bream and mangrove jacks around the structures and mangroves.
Up river at the ski run and before the car ferry, school jew were active along with large flathead, grunter and yellow fin bream and whiting on the flats. Jew fish were also in numbers between the top lakes along with a few jacks.
The run in tide is fishing best in the lower reaches and the bigger fish are being caught on live baits, white bait and fish and lures.
If you going out for the day throw in a couple crab pots also as there are some nice muddies still about throughout most of the river system.
It’s warming up to the mid/late 20’s midweek with only some cloud and a possible shower on Saturday for the rest of the week.

Until next week good luck from the guys at #NoosaFishingandCrabAdventures.

Another great week of fishing as both Mammy from Japan and Fanny from Hong Kong had a great day out on #NoosaFishingandCrabAdventures fishing #NoosaRiver.

There has been good numbers of bream, flathead and whiting caught throughout most of the Noosa River with hot spots been the Frying Pan, river mouth, Woods Bay, Noosaville reaches and Noosa Marina.
Woods Point was also producing trevally and some odd tailor and up before the car ferry and Lake Cooroibah a few school jew and large threadfin salmon.
Large whiting are on the sand flats and best results are with live worms or yabbies. Bream seem to be active on whole prawns and mullet strips as are flathead and lures or plastics are worth a go for trevally, jew and salmon.
After sundown seems best for larger predators such as jew and trevally and you may pick up the odd mangrove jack as well.
Both tides are fishing well however if had choice I would favour the run out tide close to the bottom. With the recent rains we have not seen a flood of muddies come down however it’s still worthwhile dropping in a pot.
It looks a great week of weather ahead with maybe a shower early next week so get dad out on the water for father’s day and have a dabble.

Until next week good luck from the boys at #NoosaFishingandCrab

One of our intrepid perennial customers has been bagging around a dozen nice fish a day. Jim’s daily sample on display shows there is plenty of fish about.

The recent deluge of rain has stirred up things this week with a lot of hit and miss results. There was still strong activity inside the river mouth with whiting, flathead, bream and trevally the main varieties caught. The Woods Point had flathead moving through and the Woods Bay a good spot to land a few GT’s and bream. Live yabbies and worms are best baits if you can get some.

The Frying Pan is a good place to target whiting as is the sand flats off Munna Point and along the Noosaville reaches. Weyba Creek is also good for a few whiting, bream and the odd flathead and a few trevally around the back of Noosa Sound. Try a drift if anchoring up is no productive.

Moving up river there are good bream and flathead past the ski run and at the mouth of Lake Cooroibah. School jew are about between the top two lakes and some around the river mouth but please remember the black jew need to be 75cm minimum to keep. Try jigging with lures or plastics to attract some action.

After all the rain it’s well worth dropping in a couple pots for a muddie or two.

The weather is clearing up with only a possible early shower this week to once again see glorious sunny days so time to get out there and throw a line in.

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

It’s not always the size of the catch that counts as how can you tell Ashton he didn’t have a wicked day out fishing when on holidays from Melbourne.

Fishing was a bit quiet this week with the odd good stories still making it worth the trip. There are a few whiting showing up on the shallow sand banks around the Frying Pan, Munna Point and Noosaville reaches and large sizes.

The inside of the river mouth is still good for bream, flathead and a few school jew and Woods Point ok for a few trevally and flathead with Woods Bay also performing. Bream are prevalent at the back of Noosa Sound and the start of Weyba Creek and maybe an estuary cod if you’re lucky.

Try a drift for some flathead from Gympie terrace stretch to Tewantin and the ski run to the car ferry area with the chance of some GT’s around Noosa Marina. Just before Lake Cooroibah flathead and the odd mangrove jack are still active on the high tides. Try bait fish or livies to give best results.

For general baits through the lower reaches try peeled prawns, mullet strips or lives worms to attract the whiting and bream.

After the weekend rain it may be worth dropping in a pot or two for a mud crab.

There is a shower or two developing for most of this week but I’m sure there will still nice sun breaks to enjoy a spot of fishing in the Noosa River.

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

Rodger was one of many anglers getting into the nice sized bream about lately. A day out fishing on Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures made his holiday when up from Lake Entrance, Victoria.

Whilst the lower reaches around the river mouth, Frying Pan and Woods Point has given anglers plenty of  bream and flathead and the odd trevally, further up river in the murky waters were more consistent.
Before the car ferry and both entrances to Lake Cooroibah produced flathead, bream and the odd trevally and between the lakes a few jew fish and mangrove jack. The whiting are getting better in numbers and size and found through the Noosaville sand flats and between the ski run and ferry.
The Woods Bay on the run in tide had action for a few golden trevally and Weyba Creek for some nice sized bream in the deeper sections.
The run out tide is fishing best so try lures, plastics and bait fish for trevally, flathead, jew and jacks or peeled prawns or blood worms for whiting and bream. On the big tides stay away from those crystal clear waters.
If you want to drop a crab pot there are still plenty of blue swimmers about.
The weather looks like a mixture between an odd shower to showers and nice patches of sun but I’m sure there is plenty of valued time to have on the water.
Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

A couple happy anglers on a recent Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure were Bob from Lestershire in the UK with his grunter bream and Keith from Melbourne with a nice whiting.

Fishing has been solid this week with several nice sized bream and flathead caught at the river mouth, whiting in the Frying Pan and large trevally at the Woods Point and Bay. Noosa sound and the Noosaville reaches produced some grunter bream, whiting and flathead as did around the Noosa Marina.

Further up river past the Tewantin ski run and up at Lake Cooroibah was good for trevally, flathead and the odd school jew.

Best successes has come from peeled prawns, live bait fish and blood worms for the whiting with both tides fishing well.

For those venturing out into the evening and night there were chopper tailor active on pillies and garfish off Munna Beach and at the river mouth.

Blue swimmer crabs are still in numbers in the Noosaville reaches to the Woods Bay with the odd legal male mud crab among many large females but are illegal to keep. We need some good rains to flush more numbers out.

There is the odd shower about this week among some nice sunny patches and some prevailing S East winds at time but the river is well protected from them.

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

Fishing on a recent adventure tour this week, Ryan from Melbourne was stoked to land this nice 60cm flattie to make his holiday.

There are still lots of bream about throughout and most active. As well inside the river mouth a few trevally, flathead and the odd luderick caught off the rock wall. The Frying Pan has seen some whiting coming back and the Woods Bay is worth a try for some golden trevally, bream and flathead and the odd tailor.

There are a few trevally off Munna Point and the odd jack found after dark at the back of the Noosa Sound. Also from Tewantin to Lake Cooroibah is fishing well for bream and flathead mainly and best results are on peeled prawns or fresh mullet strips. Stick to the deeper holes and murky water as in the clear waters the fish are acting very timid and cautious.

The run out tide seems to be fishing best and if you can get some live bait fish your chances will increase.

There are still a few sand crabs and the odd muddy about if you want to drop in a pot or two and get yourself a feed of crabs.

Another perfect sunny week ahead with only a possible shower late Sunday and calm, warm days to enjoy a perfect days fishing on Noosa River.

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

Lachlan was on holidays from South Australia and landed this nice 35cm bream whilst on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour. Good catch that.

Bream have been caught throughout the Noosa River this week with large ones being landed inside the river mouth, Frying Pan and Woods Point. Also a few flathead and trevally are on the bite and peeled prawns and mullet strips are being taken. Both tides are fishing well so there are no slack fishing periods.

The Woods Bay, Munna bridge and Noosa Sound are good for a few big trevally on the prowl, the odd flathead and mangrove jack into the night.

The Noosaville reaches up to Noosa Marina have plenty of active bream in the deeper parts, a few whiting and flathead on the drift. Try jigging some live bait and plastics to increase the attraction to lure the bigger fish also.

Between the ski run and the Noosa Ferry should be ok for bream, flathead, trevally and the odd threadfin salmon have also been taken. Just before the Lake Cooroibah entrance trevally, flathead and the odd mangrove jack are on the bite.

There are a few blue swimmer crabs still about in the Noosaville reaches to Woods Bay and the odd muddy about also if you’re looking for a feed of crabs.

Mostly sunny this week with some cloud early mid week and a slight possibility of a shower on Saturday but otherwise another great week ahead to enjoy.

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

Gary had a great day out on his recent Noosa River fishing safari adventure when up on holidays from Muswellbrook, NSW. His 63cm flatty wasn’t a bad catch either.

The waterways were busy with boaties over the holidays and we saw some good catches throughout the Noosa River. Good sized bream, flathead and the odd tailor were active inside the river mouth and Frying Pan in the deeper waters with mullet strips producing best catches.

The Woods Bay and Munna Bridge had some big trevally about with bream and a few tailor and whiting on the bite. Lures and bait fish were working well as were live herring if you were to get some.

Weyba Creek was good for a few bream, flathead and the odd estuary cod and the ski run for trevally and some school jew early in the mornings. Drifting for flathead at both ends of Lake Cooroibah on high tide and the run out should see successes and some good trevally about also.

For a feed of blue swimmer crabs the Tewantin and Noosaville reaches are good to try and still the odd muddy about also.

Apart from a few showers predicted early this week it looks like clearing up for more mild glorious sunny days and cool nights through to next week.

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

Wade was down from Curra for the day with his family and friends and was stoked to land this nice flatty whislt out on an O Boat Hire pontoon.

There were some good reports of catches mainly in the lower reaches this week. Inside the river mouth there were plenty of bream, tailor, trevally and the odd flathead, whilst the Frying Pan produced tailor and bream.

In the deeper parts of the Woods Bay and point, trevally, tailor and bream were active and at night there are a few mangrove jack to be sought at the back of Noosa Sound and Weyba Creek. The Noosaville reaches is producing nice whiting and bream up to 40 cm and more and around Noosa Marina at Tewanting was good for the odd jack, bream and chopper tailor.

Between the ski run and the ferry crossing, flathead, whiting and again bream were active and a few trevally, grunter bream and flathead on the bite just before Lake Cooroibah. A few school jew about too but the bigger ones are quite timid. Both tides are fishing kind and for baits try mullet strips and pillies for bream, prawns and live bait if available for all round varieties. Plastics and lures are also working well at the top of each tide.

It looks a stunning week ahead with blue skis and little wind, so take advantage of the great weather and get out in the river and wet a line.

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