Noosa River Weekly Fishing Report

S6300799

Mother and daughter Karen and Annaliese caught these couple of nice bream on Mondays half day charter aboard Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

The water is starting to clear up on the run in tide after the rain a week ago. The rivermouth has been the best area this week with some great bream, trevally and flathead to 65cm on lures and soft plastics.Woods bay has seen some nice trevally on surface poppers and live bait. Weyba creek has been good for whiting on live worms and yabbies. The Noosaville reaches up to the marina have produced whiting, bream, Flathead and grunter bream. Up river around Lake Cooroibah is still seeing a few mud crabs so drop a few pots out to try and get a feed. There are alot of catfish up in the fresh water around the lakes. To identify them they have whiskers protruding from the area around the mouth. Catfish stings cause severe pain and inflammation at the site of the sting so be careful when handling them.

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

Weyba creek has also reports of flathead.Noosaville stretches saw great catches of tarwhine and flathead to 60cm this morning.

Noosa River Weekly Fishing Report

Janine said she had a great day out on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure boat. Up from Adelaide she really enjoyed the scenic beauty of Noosa River and landed this nice 41cm for dinner to top it off.

Fishing was a bit hit and miss last week however with the new moon and big 2.2m high tides this week we should see some better activity.
The river mouth is always good for a few flathead, bream and odd tailor whilst the Frying Pan and Dog beach has whiting, bream and flathead on the bite.
The Woods Bay should be worth a go for flathead and bream also and a few good trevally prowling about. The back of Noosa Sound in the deeper holes has some action on Jacks into the night and bream and trevally during the day.
Weyba Creek has plenty of action on bream, flathead and estuary cod with a few whiting in the shallows. The Noosaville reaches are worth trying on the sand flats for whiting, bream and flathead on live worms or yabbies.
The Tewantin ski run through to the car ferry is producing flathead, whiting and grunter bream also with a chance of landing the odd school jew or threadfin salmon. The mouth of Lake Cooroibah and channel has plenty of grunter bream, whiting and flathead about with several other possibilities that could grab the line.
There are lots of blue swimmers running in Lake Weyba so take some pots with you. There is some rain forecast for the end of the week, otherwise just the odd shower and lots of extended sunny skies in between. The weekend is looking great so don’t forget so slip, slop slap and be courteous to other boaties.

Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.Janine Sth Aust 41cm flatty

Noosa River Weekly Fishing Report

Young Sam was up on holidays and ventured out on a Noosa Fishing and Crab Tour and had a great day. They pulled up a few crab pots, had a yummy steamed crab tasting and fished up to Lake Cooroibah. Plenty of fish were caught and released along with this nice flatty Sam landed.

Some good quality fish are about throughout the Noosa River waterways along with plenty of small fish that should be returned to fight another day.
The river mouth is producing flathead, bream, trevally and tailor with some large green backs among them. The Frying Pan and dog beach is worth a try for trevally, bream and flathead while the Woods Bay and Point has some good trevally and big whiting with a few chopper tailor about too.
Behind Hideaway Island and up Weyba Creek there are flathead, bream, whiting on the sand flats and some estuary cod. There are still lots of sand crabs up the creek too so don’t forget to bring a couple pots. Flathead, whiting and bream are in patches from Munna beach to Tewantin and trevally are active a couple hours after the high tide on lures or live baitfish.
There is still plenty of action up river with school jew around the ski run and seem to be taking live worms. Lots of flathead, grunter bream and whiting before the car ferry and at the mouth of Lake Cooroibah too. Into the evening and night on live baits the Jacks are still on the prowl in the deeper holes up river, around the mangroves and structures up Weyba Creek, the back of Noosa Sound and the river mouth rock wall. Each side of the current big tides are best fishing too.
The week looks another good one with only a possible shower most days.

Until next week good luck from the guys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.Sam Sydney
