The river has seen lots of bream ranging in size up to 36cm, around several structures such as the Sofitel Bridge and sound bridge. Prawns and worms are the best baits when targeting bream although they will eat just about anything. There have been some ripper flathead caught this week anywhere between Tewantin and Makepeace Island. Soft plastics are the best form of fishing when targeting flathead although mullet gut has been producing results as well. There has been several reports of both golden and silver trevally amongst the waterways mainly in the stretch from the Sheraton bridge to the boat house, with live baits such as herring and mullet being the preferred baits. The river mouth about an hour after high tide has been a highlight spot with several reports of flathead, jewfish, trevally and bream caught. There has been some great reports of sand crabs in the top end of the river around the entrance to Weyba Creek. Whole mullet are the best bait when targeting sand crabs. The river is clear again and the sun is shining there is no better time to get out on the water!

Bream as usual are a popular fish in the Noosa river mainly around structures and deeper holes. Bream are known to eat just about anything but the best bait is prawns. Silver trevally and golden trevally are amongst the river near Woods bay and Munna point. The best time to target trevally is late at night or early in the morning using either pilchards or mullet strips. With this copious rain and the hectic weather the water is dirty and the fish are about. Moving up the river there has still been several reports of great flathead around the ferry crossing and Makepeace Island. Although bait tends to bring in the fish, soft plastics have had the best results when targeting flathead. Lake Cooriobah has also had reports of great golden trevally, silver trevally, flathead and bream. This week has a few forecasted showers although mostly sunny. It’s a great time to escape the wind and drop a line. It’s a great time to get a crab pot in the water as well with the mud crabs on the move.
Until next week good luck from the boys at O Boats.

There has been lots of bream in the river mainly around deeper holes, structures and rock surfaces such as the river mouth and the stretch between Woods bay and the Sheraton Bridge.

Flathead have been around in numbers surrounding sandflats such as the one between Makepeace Island and the Tewantin ferry crossing. Lures such as soft plastics and prawns are the best baits.

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 river mouth 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 around in abundance, but it was well worth dropping a crab pot up there. The wind is about, however the fishing is still worth giving a go. Its easy to get out of the wind and fish in secluded areas such as Woods Bay and Lake Weyba.

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