23.01.2022 This week’s local Fishing Report At Jumpinpin this week, good catches of summer whiting around the Slipping Sands, Canaipa Passage and Squire Island. Plenty of flathead throughout the Pin area and around Jacob’s Well and good bream along Millionaire’s Row. Here at Southport good catches of flathead around the Seaway, Crab island and the Aldershots. Summer whiting in the Nerang River, Coombabah Creek and on the Centre Banks out from Seaworld. ... Vis around 5-7 metres and Saturday should be the best day before the northerlies kick in. Photos: 1. Nice haul of dart caught on the beach at South Stradbroke. 2. Kerrie caught these quality whiting 38 and 39cm north of Wavebreak. On a sad note, we lost one of the fishing fraternity’s best last week with the passing of Skipper Casey Dent. Casey skippered our charter boats in the 1990s and was an integral member of the Sea Probe crew. He was a respected skipper, fantastic fisherman and a beautiful soul always with a huge smile. The Howard and Ross family would like to extend our condolences to Amanda and his family. #shoplocal #goldcoast #fishing #diving

23.01.2022 This week’s local Fishing Report This week some nice whiting over near the Marine Stadium. Further in the Nerang River good catches of whiting at night around Monaco Street Bridge and the Council Chambers. Flathead around Crab Island, South Straddie and Jumpinpin. Sand crabs out in front of Runaway Bay Marina, Ephraim’s Island and Parrot Rock. Mud crabs showing up in creeks around Tippler’s & Jacobs Well & Brown’s Inlet. Danny, Glen and Colin hooked up some nice tail...or, bream and dart in the Surf on South Stradbroke. They were trying out throwing lures with their new Wilson Blue Steel fishing rods and that made all the difference. Danny finally broke his mulloway drought and caught a nice 12 kilo on the Seaway. Squid still around - try the western side of Crab Island. #shoplocal #goldcoast #fishing #diving

23.01.2022 This week’s local Fishing Report Up Jumpinpin whiting on Greenbank and along Caruso Island. Nice bream along Millionaire’s Row. With the full moon last night, tailor have been biting well on the surf beaches Main Beach, Narrowneck, Philip Park and Stradbroke. Also some really good quality dart as well.... For the luderick fishermen, the Seaway seems to be the best spot. School mackerel have shown up in the channel from Seaworld to marina Mirage and plenty of squid out from Runaway Bay, Gold Coast Bridge and Grand Hotel Jetty. Also if you can deal with all the weed, plenty of sand crabs out from Runaway Bay and Paradise Point ..... but be warned, the weed is full on! Out on the reef some good catches of snapper 36 and 50 fathoms east. #shoplocal #goldcoast #fishing #diving

22.01.2022 This week’s local Fishing Report Up the Pin, bream along Millionaire’s Row, Tiger Mullet channel and eastern end of Caruso island. Flathead in Jacobs Well channel and around Tulleen and Tipplers islands and tailor in the Bar. Here at Southport, dart, bream and some tailor have been caught at Northcliff, Main Beach, Narrowneck and Phillip Park. There has been some really good gutters forming along the beaches. Good bream and flathead in the southern end of South St...radbroke along the North Wall and also around Ephraim and Sovereign Islands. Winter whiting on the Centre Banks and doggy mackerel and luderick in the Seaway. There has also been a couple of nice size mulloway taken in the Seaway. Squid are still the latest craze being caught throughout the Broadwater, Wavebreak Island and Grand Hotel. Reef fishing has been a little quiet and don’t forget the snapper and pearl perch closure between 15 July to 15 August. Pics: Danny lands a nice Luderick #shoplocal #goldcoast #fishing #diving

Howard family patriarch Nev caught a 25kg cobia on Wednesday not bad for an 89 year old! Would have been interesting to see him getting that one in the boat by himself! Some nice squire and trag on the 18s and 24s as well. Divers: fantastic vis at 12 15 metres in the Seaway and on the Scottish Prince. #shoplocal #goldcoast #fishing #diving

16.01.2022 Thanks Danny - you really are a hunter and gatherer with a fair bit of farming going on. Hot and sour soup made from this years prawn season - supplied prawn shells for stock, from your garden - chilies, coriander, tomatoes, shallots, limes (frozen from old house), chicken - oh that’s a fail - harvested from Coles - fish balls harvested from some poor fish - no the local Asian shop - Mulloway caught locally and poached in leftover hot and sour soup and garnished with your chilies and coriander. Will keep you around for a bit longer. YUM

16.01.2022 This week’s local Fishing Report Earlier in the week, those that braved the elements were rewarded with nice sized dart on Stradbroke Island in behind South Currigee Campground. Plenty of chopper tailor have been caught at Jumpinpin just before the top of the tide. Some nice flathead around Crab Island and the Aldershots and winter whiting on Centre Banks. Squid are still around at the usual haunts Wavebreak and the Grand Hotel jetty and you should pick up a fee...d of sandcrabs in the Broadwater out from Seaworld.
