ESTUARY : fishing the river systems has been hard work due to the dirt water from the rain but good reports of  bream , trevally, and tailor have been caught on the top of the incoming tide in the lower reaches.

THE DAMS : Borumba has been fishing well with good reports of bass schooling up around double bay and yabba arm

OFFSHORE : Because of the 25 kts south east winds offshore fishing has been hard work but sunday is looking good. If u do manage to get out  for that fish there are plenty of macks and sweetlip to be caught .

till next week

ESTUARY – Rivers are pretty murky so the best fishing has been down the lower reaches and fishing the incoming tide when there is a bit of cleaner water coming in. bream, whiting, flathead and trevally are being caught in the lower reaches and inside the river mouths. try for muddies in your favorite holes with the dirty fresh water in the system. i went for a fish in noosa river on sunday and the river up there is quite clean even after all the rain. there is trevally and tailor in woods bay on plastics and savoy shads. flathead on the troll in weyba creek.

OFFSHORE – There was spottie macks caught around old woman last sunday but not much to report this week for offshore. weather is looking ok early next week but well wait and see.
