Noosa River Fishing Report

The Noosa River has seen some great fish this week. There has been several reports of nice size trevally and mangrove jack caught up and around the Noosa river mouth. The best time to fish the river mouth is dawn and dusk with pilchards and herring being highlight baits. Gary caught a ripper trevally on a dead herring just near Woods Bay, as seen in the above image.Whiting have been appearing in the river mainly around sand flats and shallow water drop offs with live baits such as worms and yabbies producing the best results. They are still pulling up plenty of flathead around the 35cm-45cm mark, mainly around areas such as Makepeace island and the Tewantin ferry crossing. Bream as always, are about in the river mainly around deeper holes and structures such as the sound bridge, eating mainly prawns and yabbies. Mud crabs are amongst the river in numbers down past the boathouse, anywhere from Tewantin to the Lake Cooriobah. Fish frames or mullet heads have been producing the best results when crabbing. The weather is tipped to be fantatsic with very light winds and a very low chance of a light shower for the easter period. There is no better time to get out on the water and wet a line.

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

This week we have seen some great fish surrounding the river mouth at first light and just after dark. There has been reports of decent size tailor with whole pilchards and poppers being the best baits. Mangrove jack have been attacking mullet strips at dusk. Whiting are about again mainly on the high tides in areas such as the frying pan and Munna point. Live bait such as worms and yabbies is always best when targeting whiting. Moving up the river we have seen some great flathead ranging up to 65cm caught anywhere from the boathouse to the first ski run. When chasing flathead soft plastics generally give you the best chance. Bream as always have been through the river mainly around deeper holes and structures such as Tewantin Marina and the first ski run. The two highlight spots for the week are the Noosa river mouth and Makepeace island down near the ferry crossing. The weather is tipped to be sunny with the odd chance of a shower. It’s a fantastic time to get out and wet a line.

Well the rain has brought the fishing to life this week with great catches of fish and a few mud crabs on the move. The rivermouth has produced quality flathead up to 2 kilo, with live herring and prawns bringing the best results. Golden trevally in large schools have also been on the move, with early morning producing quality fish. In Tewantin opposite the marina has seen a mixed bag of bream flathead and grunter bream. We fished the first lake yesterday and the catfish were prolific, but it was well worth dropping a crab pot up there. With the big tides early this week the weekend looks perfect with light winds and a sunny days.

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