Patrick had a nice feast of  Noosa River mud crabs when holidaying up from Victoria on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure.

Fishing was hard going generally last week but the higher night tides and full moon the activity has increased. Lots of  bream have come in and are being caught throughout the lower reaches with flathead, tailor and a few trevally near the river mouth, Frying Pan, Woods Bay and early at the back of Noosa Sound.

Mangrove jacks are still about in Noosa Sound, Weyba Creek, around the Noosa Marina at Tewantin at night. Flathead will take most baits but white bait are giving best results for bigger fish and try your luck at Woods Point, off  Munna Beach, before the car Ferry and at the entrance of Lake Cooroibah.

There are a few whiting about on the sand flats opposite Makepeace Island and along the Noosaville reaches with some nice golden trevally being landed there and past the first ski run.

Both tides are fishing well and for baits try mullet strips for bream and flathead, lures, soft plastics and live bait if available. Prawns and live worms are good for your bream, trevally, whiting and flathead also.

Weatherwise, blue skies with a possible shower towards the end of week and weekend but warming to nice days and cool nights with little wind about.

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

Nemci from Brisbane went out on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour and had a fabulous day catching flathead, bream, diamond trevally and more.

The conditions have been superb with only the odd shower about and plenty of good fish to be had. The river mouth and Frying Pan have produced trevally and nice sized flathead with an odd school jew about too.

There are trevally the odd tailor in Woods Bay and flathead, whiting and estuary cod in Weyba Creek and some good bream around jetties in Noosa Sound.

From Munna Point through the Noosaville stretches whiting can be had on the sand flats and nice bream in the gutters caught on mullet strips.

School jew are active before the ferry and ski run on live baits and try Lake Cooroibah for flathead, whiting and some trevally are on the bite.

Both tides are active but the change of tides are fishing slow an hour or so each side and try lures, soft plastics and live bait if available. Prawns and live worms are good for your bream, whiting and flathead as are mullet strips.

The blue swimmers are still plentiful in the Woods Bay and Weyba Creek areas with a few good muddies still about.

Mainly just cloudy this week with the possibility of a few showers developing this Sunday but all in all another great week to enjoy a spot of fishing.

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

Noosaville’s brand new boat ramp is now complete with the luxury of floating boat dock facilities. That’s going to put a smile on the boaties faces.

Another perfect week of boating to be had with the Noosa River to Reef Family Fishing Classic being held last weekend. By the sounds it was another great success with boats and fisherman throughout our waterways weighing in all species and sizes with every fish returned to live another day.
Both tides are fishing well with good sized bream near the river mouth and Woods Bay also flathead and a few tailor being caught around the Frying Pan.
Try a few lures and live bait fish through the Noosaville reaches, back of Noosa Sound and Weyba Creek where you should be rewarded with a few flathead, trevally and/or maybe a mangrove jack if fishing very early or late evening.
Whiting are active on live worms through the lower reaches to just before the river ferry, on the sand flats in two to three feet of water.
Take a crab pot or two as there are several blue swimmers around the Woods Bay and Weyba Creek areas and the odd legal muddy to be had also.
With only a possible shower forecast for most days this week and weekend boating looks good with temperatures in the mid 20’s. Not bad for Winter.
Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

Out last weekend on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures boat, local lad Gabe was stoked to land this nice 35cm golden trevally on his birthday.

Been great conditions for fishing again this week with quite a few whiting, good sized bream and flathead around the river mouth, Frying Pan, Munna Beach and Noosaville reaches. The Woods Bay produced the odd tailor and queenfish and the back of Noosa Sound and Weyba Creek were good for flathead, nice sized bream and a few estuary cod.
Trevally and some school jew were active before the ferry crossing , before the first lake and between the top lakes with still the occasional mangrove jack too.
Flathead have taken lures and plastics by jigging for them whilst praws, baitfish and mullet strips were good for bream trevally and whiting on live worms.
Both the run in and out tides were fishing well but most action was had very early in the mornings or late afternoon and evenings.
If you have a few crab pots, try dropping them in around the Woods Bay and Weyba Creek as there are several blue swimmers about and very tasty to eat.
Mostly clear sky’s this week with just the odd shower predicted towards the weekend, so excellent conditions to enjoy another great week on NoosaRiver.

Cloe was stoked to land this nice flathead when coming down from Maryborough to join a Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure.

Fishing was hot and cold this week with the main hot spots before the river mouth, the frying pan and Woods Bay with tailor, flathead and whiting the main fish with the odd large bream starting to come in.

The best successes have come two hours each side of the high tide and pilchards, lures and mullet strips are working well on larger varieties. If targeting whiting and bream, live worms and yabbies being taken and try the shallows and sandflats off Munna Beach, Noosaville stretches and opposite Makepeace Island. Working around the structures throughout the river with mullet strips should give some rewards also.

Despite the water getting cooler there are still some mangrove jacks on the prowl at night and jewfish mainly in the deeper holes and structures at the back of Noosa Sound, Weyba Creek, the Marina and up between the top two lakes.

It’s worth dropping in a crab pot too as lots of sand crabs are active around the Frying Pan, Woods Bay and Weyba Creek.

With just a possible shower most days this week and warm calm  conditions, it looks like being a good time to enjoy a spot of fishing.

Jace got a nice surprise when pulling up a crab pot recently. Not what he was aiming for but this estuary cod was very tasty.

Fishing was a bit subdued this week but still a few good catches were reported. The Noosa River mouth produced a few flathead, trevally and the odd tailor with the Frying Pan and the Noosaville reaches having some good sized whiting on the sand banks. The Woods Bay and Point were good for tarwine, trevally and some tailor while the Noosa Sound and Munna bridge also produced the odd mangrove jack late towards the evening.

Weyba Creek and just before Lake Cooroibah are good for flathead, trevally and grunter bream with a few jewfish and jacks between the top lakes.

With the colder waters approaching there are a few good bream coming into the river so try the deeper holes and fish two hours each side of the high tide for best results. In general though both tides are fishing well.

Prawns and mullet strips seem to be working and also try some zerek prawn lures. There are several blue swimmers getting about Lake Weyba, up past the first ski run and first lake to target as well as the odd legal mud crab.

There is the odd shower or two predicted for most days this week but nothing that will seem to stop a good day out on the river.

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

Its so good to see the broad smiles of the kids who catch their first fish when holidaying in Noosa. Nice one too James.

The river mouth was still active for common catches of bream, whiting, flathead and trevally with the Wood’s Bay and back of the Noosa Sound good for a few flathead, trevally and the odd tailor. There were a few good whiting and flathead off Munna point and the sand flats through the Noosaville reaches with Lake Weyba good for a mixed bag of varieties.
The entrance of the first lake was producing good flathead, grunter bream, whiting and trevally with the odd jewfish and threadfin salmon between the top lakes. A few mangrove jacks were in the deeper holes and snags at first light and nights but will be shying off as the waters cool.
Lures, soft plastics and live bait fish have been best but keep on the move if quiet and live worms are giving good results when fishing for whiting.
The run out tide is best with the change of both tides very quiet. There are also lots of nice full mud crabs still throughout the river system to be had.
There is a chill in the air reminding us that winter is nearing but the days are nice in the sun. A few showers for Thursday and possibility of a shower on the weekend but still mid 20’s in the days to enjoy a session on the water.
Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab

Up from Adelaide, on holidays over the ANZAC weekend Suzie landed this nice tailor near the river mouth on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure boat.

Another busy weekend was had on the water with the Anzac long weekend and still some quality fish being caught. The river mouth and Woods Bay was active with flathead, bream, trevally and whiting. The back of Noosa Sound and the Munna bridge produced some nice trevally and the odd mangrove jack and estuary cod and Weyba Creek still offered lots of varieties in the deeper parts.
Along the Noosaville reaches up to Noosa Marina there were several reports of whiting, bream and flathead mainly caught on live worms.
Before the Noosa Ferry on the sand flats and at the mouth of Lake Cooroibah there were some good flathead, sooty grunter and the odd threadfin salmon if your lucky. The top entrance of first lake was good for whiting as well.
Live baitfish, lures and soft plastics are working well and both tides seem to be productive but very quiet at the turn of high and low tides.
There are still some good mud crabs being pulled in pots and some blue swimmers in the lower and Noosaville reaches too.
There are a few showers predicted for the middle of the week but forecast to clear up for another perfect weekend on Noosa waterways.
Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

Young Will had a great tour on Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures and landed the catch of the day with a healthy flathead caught at Lake Cooroibah over the Easter holidays. She was returned to fight another day after the photo shoot.

The Easter break saw a hive of activity on the water with perfect conditions throughout. The river produced some good fishing with plenty of whiting, bream, flathead and trevally mainly in the lower reaches. Try both sides of the river near the mouth, the Woods Bay and the back of Noosa Sound in the deeper holes for most varieties.

The quieter areas like Weyba Creek, Noosa Marina at Tewantin and just before the ferry crossing were good for flathead, bream, whiting, the odd moses perch, estuary cod and mangrove jack into the evenings.

Live baits such as herring are working for prime  larger fish, live worms for whiting and bream and fresh prawns in general for most varieties.

Both tides are fishing well but avoid the hour each side of the low tide and keep on the move if fishing gets quiet and try drifting also.

The perfect weather is continuing through the holidays with only a slight chance of a shower over the weekend.

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

George from Peregian Beach was stoked to land this nice golden trevally caught at the river mouth when on our Noosa Fishing and Crab Tour.

Another good week of fishing with lower reaches faring best for flathead, trevally, tarwhine, bream and whiting. Try river mouth, frying pan and Woods Bay and the back of Noosa Sound and Tewantin Marina at night for the odd mangrove jack. Weyba Creek was good for estuary cod, flathead and bream and whiting on the sand flats through the Noosaville reaches.

Just before the ferry and Lake Cooroibah is also worth a try and both tides are fishing well towards each side of the high tide.

If you can get live bait as in herring, worms or yabbies it’s best otherwise prawns, mullet strips and cured worms are fine.

We expect the further you go up river the more catfish you will come across so keep to the lower reaches, snags and deeper holes.

With the recent deluge of rain we should see further mud crabs washed down so it’s worth dropping a pot while you are fishing.

The Easter forecast is looking magnificent throughout and remember safe boating and consider others as the waterways will be very busy.

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