Big bite times for the next 6days. High UV all week. Small chance for offshore Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. With the southernly chance to hit Thursday. * Ants pick* The crabs are in the move after the recent rains. Working top section of the systems. Will produce some great hauls for can openers.

Extreme risk of harm from sun between 11am - 3pm. * slip, slop and slap between these times. Sat: 14.4 Sun: 14.3 Mon: 13.9 Tue: 14.2 Wed: 14.1 Thurs: 14.3 * The reason I add UV each week is so it will help you in choosing lure colours. Bright UV colours on cloudy days will fish well. Where less UV on bright days fish better. A UV touch will also help with this. Barometric pressure @ 1013hpa Offshore: With all the rain from last week still affecting most systems. Still look to the reefs the get flow from river and creeks. Such as tweed reef, focus, kingy and palmy for reefies this week. The rain and run off will bring good bait and current lines to those reefs. So they will fish well this week for snapper, pearlies, finger mark, tuskies, sea perch, cobia and king fish. Trolling dead baits around the bombies have produced the odd Spanish Mack off southern reefs. Still no real numbers. But can be Real hit and miss and very small bite window. * please be Courteous to fellow fishermen. If yo can see them trolling a curtain line. Don’t cut them off or if they do hook up. Give them a wide berth. Just because they hooked up doesn’t mean there is a school there. Some big yellow fin, mr bill face and some big dollies still being caught. Look from the 24’s to the 100m lines and out around the shelf with Skirts ( purple and pink ) and live baits working well on bill fish. Live baits, skirts and big poppers/stick baits and skipping Gar working well. Some really good size Dollies starting to still sitting in current lines and around the fads and on the 24’s and close reefs this week. Finding floating debris will be the go this week. Still the odd Large school of slimmies sitting around the coast. Find these schools to score a few predators. Spotties have shown up. The southerlies are definitely fishing best. Find the bait and find the spots. Metals, trolled pillies, drifting half pillies and trolling hards working best when they are there. Unweighted pillies, floating pillies and metals fishing well. The spammer crabs are on. Try the 24’s and 36’s for best results. Bay: Lots of whiting up in the rous and in the skinny water around the islands. Squid and worms fishing best. Odd mixed bag of reefies around at dusk and dawn. Look to Current lines around the islands like mud, green, peel and harries fishing well. Lots or grassy sweetlip, grassy tuskies, tuskies and squire. Pillies, squid, strips baits and plastics fishing best. Burley helps your cause. A few threadies still being caught this week in the brissy river, at the port and in the Logan. Vibes and live prawns fishing best. Find them stacked up to get best results. Lots of bullies are in the Logan, Albert and brissy rivers this week. Eel still fishing best. Prawns: they were on last week. But have dropped off again this week. Went from being medium to large to very small to mediums. But still showing up in the Albert, Logan, the pine, Cabo and around the bay islands. Look to the deeper holes at the top and bottom of the tides. But no real size and number yet. But can still scrap up a bucket but it may take a bit. Estuary: The jacks are still munching hard this week. They mean business. The better jacks still being taken on large strip baits and live baits. Try the pontoons, rock walls, drains, pylons, sunken logs/trees rock bars and around the bridges during the day with various artificial’s especially at dusk and dawn. Squirrels, pointers, sx60F and mad mullets in hardz, splash prawn, drunken mullet, gsplash and Ziggies all working very well. 3-5inch swimz and minnows on chin locks in natural colours fishing best in plastics. Fishing drains will be the go this week. Look to key bite times and tides changers with flowing drains into main river or dirty water lines. There will be jacks, Jew, trevally, cod, tarpon, Giant herring, tilapia and flathead working in those drains. Still the odd Soapy sitting in the holes and around the rock walls through out most systems especially the rain. Zx40’s, 7inch minnows, 20g micro jigs and 30g samaki vibes and vibolisous still your best option for a grey ghost. Odd Barra in the Nerang and Coomera while the rains around. Find the holes with bait and find the barra. The flatfish are still fishing really well. A lot being taken in the skinny water on surface lure and a few big girls on live baits of a night. But plastics fishing well on the drop offs during the day. Doubled up white baits drifting in channels also catching some quality fish. Find the females and find the smaller males. Trolling up to 120mm hards working well this week. Pontoon 21 greedy guts, double clutch and sx60F working well. The whiting are really firing up over the last couple of weeks. Yabbies and worms at night and on splash prawn and suga pens during the day. But Get up on those usually exposed sand banks at low tide, on the high of a night. Slow rolling your yabbies and worms working well. Surface lures smashing a few great sized elbow slappers in the shallows and a few trevs, tarpon and giant herring in the lakes of the GC. Splash prawn and suga pens still fishing the best on the top in the canals and lakes. Lots of muddies with the rain. Get those pots into and score the can openers up in the creeks and drains and around the weed beds for sandies. Really good number in rivers south of the boarder. Beaches: Some great dart, tailor, trevally, bream, flathead, whiting and odd big mulloway being caught in the various gutters along Broady, Kirra, Fingal and new brighten. Ganged up pillies of a night catching the bigger tailor. Big live baits catching Jew. Some really big models being taken this week off the beaches. Try half pillies, small strip baits, worms and yabbies during the day fishing well for dart, trevs, bream and whiting. Metals at dusk and dawn still producing a few off headlands. But only a small window and no big numbers. Sweetwater: Drains, over flows, rapids and water falls will be the go for wild bass this week. The bass are smashing lures off the top at dusk and dawn. Look for 1020hpa pressure and the back creeks, upper rivers and in the shallows in the dams are really firing. You can hear the eco of the boofs in the hills. Jigs, spoons, spinners and plastics, worms, grubs, maggots and most surface lures fishing best in the back creeks. Until dark or until the sun is established. Jigs spin, nt60’s, plastics, micro’s and spoons all fishing well Around the timber in 8-15m of water and surface lure working well on the sheltered coves in the skinny water. Vertically jigging along the trees still producing some good fish. But most are starting to push up into that skinny water. So targeting those sheltered coves in the dams will be the go at dusk and dawn. Odd toga starting to hit cicada, surface lures and shallow diver lures off the top and in the top section of water. Try the sheltered coves between 9am and 3pm for best results. Odd bass at sun up on the surface in the back creeks. Trolling and working vibes around Clear island waters and it’s tributary fishing really well. Lots of tilapia ( vermin) starting to wake up and do their thing. Targeting nests with night crawlers will be the go. Try all the usual Haunts with night crawlers, garden worms, grubs, dough, bread and small artificial’s. Try Varsity, Robina, clear water island, Mudgee and GC hinterland. Some big carp (Mud mullets) starting to move around out in the hinterland, Capalaba and Vicky point. Corn and dough fishing well but fly fisho’s are doing the best. Small light weight fly’s catching the bigger and better fish. * please give this report a like so we can see who and how many actually read it.

13.01.2022 THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY BIG HIT Fishing REPORT 16 January 2020 TWEED RIVER by Smithy... G’day everyone, the boat traffic on the river this week has been a lot quieter with the constant wind and early morning showers. The inclement weather has not stopped us fishing and with some good planning we have had some fairly consistent results. Fishing the flats around the top of the tide with surface lures has been fun with whiting and bream being the main players. The topwater fishing with bassday sugapen lures and mmd splash prawns worked across the top of the shallows gets better from now through to April. The key this week has been keeping an eye out for the birds working in the deep channels as there has been some big Golden Trevally feeding under the birds and baitfish. Book your charter: https://fb.com/book/bradsmithfishingcharters GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto A good week for fishing with some variety caught in the broadwater and mangrove jacks still coming in at night and late afternoons. The lighter winds and smaller tides have made for pleasant conditions for fishing the broadwater. There has been a lot of squid around. On one trip we caught over 20 of them, 30 whiting, and some small squire, grassy emperor, flounder, tarwine, pike, and some tailor. Flathead have been scarce with just odd legal size ones about. Best areas to fish have been Southport, Bums Bay, the West side of Carters Bank, and the Currigee area at times. Hopefully we get a few decent falls of rain over the next week to stir up the rivers, it will be awesome for the fishing! We have neap tides this coming week which provides a good opportunity to fish the seaway, currigee and the lower and deeper parts of the river for jacks and mulloway. I’m fully booked for the rest of January but still have some dates available in February for afternoon/ evening trips chasing big mangrove jacks, and morning charters targeting many types of fish in the Gold Coast broadwater on lures and bait.
