Jacob from Cronulla had a grin from ear to ear when he landed this nice flathead on a recent Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour.

The fishing has been excellent in the lower reaches but from the river ferry upwards and the recent fresh water deluge see the catfish in numbers.  The river mouth and frying pan are good for whiting, bream, flathead and the odd golden trevally and tailor.

From Munna Point through the Noosaville reaches on the sand banks in 3 to 5 feet of water there are lots of whiting, bream and good sized flathead. (up to 80cm being caught) Try drifting to increase your chances as well.

As for trophy fish like mangrove jacks try in the evening around the Sheraton bridge, the deep holes at the back of Noosa Sound and Noosa Marina. You may pick up the odd estuary cod too.

With the dirty water both tides are fishing well and try live bait or worms if you can get some otherwise prawns and lures or plastics for larger fish.

Don’t forget to drop a crab pot in as lots have been flushed down the river.

With just a shower or two forecast for next Sunday, it looks a perfect week to start the school holidays and get out on the water.

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

Local angler Jace got more than he bargained for in his crab pot with a nice estuary cod that was returned to fight another day.

Fishing has been active with the recent rains and big tides but mainly in the lower reaches with catfish in numbers up towards the lakes and beyond.

The river mouth and frying pan have seen several good flathead and trevally with the Woods Bay some tarpon, trevally and whiting.

Through the Noosaville reaches to Tewantin there have been good sized whiting to 43cm, beam and flathead and Weyba Creek producing flathead, bream, cod and whiting. Jacks and the odd jewfish are still around the deep holes and structures but best caught at night and on live bait or lures.

With big high tides and dirty water, both tides are fishing well with either live baits, soft plastics and lures. Worms and prawns are good for bream, whiting and flathead as are live yabbies if you can pump some on low tide.

Also drop a crab pot as lots of crabs have been flushed down with the rain.

There is just the odd light shower or two forecast for most of the next week so looks a good time to enjoy our special waterways.

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

Mick when on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures tour landed this nice flathead that made his day.

The lower reaches from the river mouth to Munna Beach is productive for flathead and bream, with some trevally and odd tailor in Woods Bay and the Frying Pan. Good numbers of whiting are through the Noosaville reaches and tarpon, Jacks and threadfin salmon are active chasing the bait fish that are present between the top two lakes.

Live herring, white baits and lures are working for the few trophy fish such as mangrove jacks which are being caught in Weyba Creek, around Noosa Marina and each side of Lake Cooroibah in the beeper holes but the nights are giving best results. Try drifting for flathead to as you cover more ground and being a lazy predator they like the bait coming to them.
The run out tide seems to be fishing better as the water isn’t so clear but with the rain forecast that could change.

Well it looks like a wet week with it fining up for the weekend however the push of fresh water down the river will be good and hopefully push out lots of mud crabs too.

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

Great to see the  young “Paterson” kids on holidays with wide breamed smiles catching fish as the enjoy their family boating cruise.

Fishing was very productive this week around the full moon with the frying pan and river mouth producing trevally, whiting, bream, flathead and the odd tailor. Woods Bay, the back of Noosa Sound, Weyba Creek and the mouth of Lake Cooroibah were good for cod, bream, flathead, tarwine, trevally and maybe a magrove jack.  Whiting and fleathead were in numbers in 3 to 5 feet of water and on the sand banks through the Noosaville reaches and before the car ferry at past Tewantin.
Live herring, white baits and lures are working for larger varieties with beach worms and yabbies good for whiting, bream and trevally. The run out tide seems to be fishing better than the run in and avoid the turn of the tide for an hour each side as the tidal movement creates more activity.
Another perfect week ahead with just the chance of an odd shower towards the weekend and temperatures in the high 20’s everyday.

A couple of local anglers were stoked to land this nice trevally caught up river in their secret spot.

The river was pretty active with the 3 day Summer Fishing Classic on until Sunday. We saw quite a few flathead caught at the river mouth, doggy beach and Noosaville reaches with plenty of whiting in the shallows on the sand banks of the lower reaches.

There were a few mangrove jacks caught around the Noosa Marina structures and up at the mouth of Lake Cooroibah along with grunter bream. The Woods Bay and Frying Pan were good for a few estuary cod and bream as was Weyba Creek and the back of Noosa Sound and for whiting, flatties and fingermark.

Both tides fished well and try live worms and yabbies for bait.

It looks a bit showery early in the week but fining up for another fabulous weekend on the waters again.

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

Rob Dawson up on a break with his family was chuffed when he landed this nice trevally whilst on an O Boat Hire pontoon.

Fishing was quite good with catches of trevally, bream and the odd tailor were sought at the Woods Bay, Frypan and Weyba Creek.  Also there were mangrove jack, tarwine, bream and estuary cod up Weyba Creek and between the first ski run to the mouth of Lake Cooroibah. Whiting were slow but still a few good size in 3 to 5 feet of water on the sand banks of Noosa River.

Both tides are working and try lures, soft plastics for targeting flathead, trevally and bream, live herring for Jacks and worms for whiting. Drifting for flathead with baitfish in the Noosaville reaches should pay dividends also.

Just the odd shower about for most of the week but keep an eye on the swell from the forming cyclone afar for outside fishing.

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

Ian Homes was tickled to land this nice diamond trevally when up on a boat hire from Brisbane last weekend.

Noosa River Fishing was steady this week with the best spots being inside the river mouth for whiting, bream, flathead and trevally as with the Fry-pan and Woods Bay. Weyba creek has seen catches of bream whiting, flathead and moses perch and bream and bream and whiting through the Noosaville reaches with a few mangrove jacks up between the lakes.

Live baits are getting the most action and fresh prawns if not or frogmouth pillies and white bait for larger species. Try and fish when either tide is on the run and not over the change of tides.

It looks another fantastic week for boating with just a shower or two towards the weekend and warm to hot days.

Up from Sydney, Julie was delighted with her first fish ever on our Noosa Fishing and Crab adventure, a nice grunter bream too.

Whiting are in good numbers on the sand banks near the river mouth and on the run out tide at Munna Beach. There have been several flathead at the river mouth and Noosaville reaches too.

Trevally are active on the high tide in the Woods Bay and Lake Weyba and bream prevalent at the first lake.

Generally up around the first lake there are plenty of Pony fish being caught. They have a protruding mouth and are extremely slimy. We advise not to touch them or eat them and use a rag to unhook. Try live baits if you can get some or prawns if not.

South East Queensland is about the only place in Australia where its not raining to enjoy another great week on the water.

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

Crystal had the best day fishing and crabbing on a recent tour when up from Geelong. She took the honors with a nice trevally.

The overcast conditions has seen a top week of fishing with good numbers of flathead and whiting from Munna Beach through to Tewantin marina. Opposite Weyba Rd crn and Gympie Tce. is especially good as is just inside the river mouth on the north side.

There are still a few mangrove jacks between the top lakes in among the mangroves and plenty of grunter bream on the southern entrance of Lake Cooroibah. Both tides are fishing well but avoid the low tide change and try worms and yabbies for whiting and live bait and lures for flatties and jacks.

The weather looks fantastic during the week with an odd shower forecast for Sunday and Monday so get out and enjoy.

Until next week good luck from the boys at O Boats.

When your having a fish there can be all sorts of bonuses that appear on your line. Darren from Rockhampton was stoked to land this nice mud crab on a recent Noosa Fishing and Crab tour.

Now the holidays are over the waterways are much quieter and the fish are not quite as timid.  There are good catches of whiting and bream on the sand banks around Munna Point and the river mouth and flathead can be caught on the drift in the Noosaville to Tewantin reaches. Good sized bream are in the deeper holes and around structures with prawns, mullet strips and gut good bait.

The runout tide in the dirtier waters are fishing best and further up river is recommended.  Try using live worms, yabbies or live baits if you can get some as the larger fish are still a bit picky.

Just the odd scattered shower forecast for most days this week with warm days around 27 to 28 perfect to enjoy a great day on the Noosa River.
