Rachael, Len and Abby were all smiles and had a great day out on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour when up on holidays from Sydney.
It’s not always about catching that big one as small fish are sweet.

The fishing has been patchy with the heavy holiday boating activity but still some good results. The river mouth has flathead, bream and the odd tailor on the bite with whiting, bream and flathead active in the Frying Pan.
The Woods Point and Bay is good for flathead, whiting, trevally and the odd tailor and Noosa Sound and Weyba Creek has bream, flathead, estuary cod and jacks into the night. The Noosaville reaches is seeing good flathead caught on live baits or mullet strips but drifting is the best way to go and quite a few bream about too.
From Tewantin, at the Noosa marina up to the first lake is the most active stretch however lots of small fish are on the bite but some nice surprises among them.
If your keen to venture out at night, mangrove jacks and the odd school jew are being caught up to 50cm in the deeper holes and around the mangroves from the river mouth to Lake Catharaba. Sand crabs are still on the move in Weyba Creek also and a few muddies in the Gympie Terrace stretch to the top lakes.
On Thursday night one angler got a prize 1m long barra on a live poddy mullet off Culgoa Point which gave him a great story to tell whilst on holidays.
Each side of the high tide is giving best results and best when on the run.
The same forecast continues with a shower or two all this week and an odd storm but as we have seen, plenty of good weather in between to get among them.

Until next week good luck from the boys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.

The fish of the week goes to Lizzie with this 58cm golden trevally almost as big as she is. Up from Melbourne with her family on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure, this is a memory to savour and a story to tell.

There were a lot of good fishing stories this week with the river mouth fishing better and good fish right up to the upper reaches. The river mouth has the common varieties as in flathead, trevally, whiting and bream with a few larger pelagics prowling about too. The Frying Pan and Woods Bay are producing the same and the odd mangrove jack thrown in after dark.
Estuary cod, flathead, jacks and bream are in the deeper holes and around structures up Weyba Creek and the back of Noosa Sound and its worth taking a few pots as there are quite a few sand crabs on the move there as well.
The Noosaville reaches to Tewantin is worth a try on the sand flats for whiting, bream and flathead with live beach worms or yabbies best baits. There is plenty of fish being caught from the ski run to the mouth of Lake Cooroibah for all the common types plus a few jacks, jewfish, golden trevally and threadfin salmon thrown in. It’s always worth having a live bait fish floating out the back.
Further up between the lakes is also worth the venture and fish the deeper holes. Towards the top of each tide is fishing best on both run in and out tides.
There is a bit of weather about this week but looks like clearing up towards the weekend but the calm overcast conditions are great for fishing.

Until next week good luck from the boys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.
