There has been some good size Bream in the Noosa River, mainly around deeper holes and structures. The best bait, when targeting bream is either prawns or yabbies. At the early hours of the morning there has been some good size tailor near the frying pan and the river mouth. Poppers on the flat water have proven to bring good results at this time of the morning. Queenfish have been about in the late hours of the afternoon throughout Woods Bay. When heading up river, the ski run has been a popular spot to drop a line with reports of whiting, flathead and bream at reasonable sizes. When fishing in the ski run the best baits include prawns, mullet strips and pilchard fillets. Crabbing hasn’t been to bad in the river with several reports of some good size sand crabs being caught around the rivermouth. Fish frames and whole mullet are the best baits to use in pots at the moment. The weather is great along the river with the sun shinning and the wind at a reasonable pace. This week is a great time to get out on the water and drop a line.

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

Flathead have been caught near the rivermouth around the drop offs and sand falts. The best bait for flathead is pilchards and live bait fish although the soft plastics also tend to bring in the flatty. Bream are known to eat just about anything although prawns and worms tend to be the preferred baits. The best place to drop a line for bream is the Sound bridge.There has been reports of good size whiting in Woods Bay and the frying pan. Live baits such as worms and yabbies are always the best way to target whiting.Early in the morning on the high tide around the Noosa sound there has been reports of some nice trevally being caught using lures. There has been an influx of crabs in the Noosa river although most are jennys. When targeting crabs, the best spot to drop a pot or two is around lake Cooroiobah and Makepeace island using mullet or fish frames. The weather is tipped to be much the same as the weekend with light winds and possible chance of some showers.

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

Moving up the river there has still been several reports of great flathead around the ferry crossing and makepeace island. Although bait tends to bring in the fish, soft plastics have been had the best reports when targeting flathead. Lake Cooriobah has also had reports of great golden trevally, silver trevally, flathead and bream. This week has a few forecasted showers although mostly sunny. It’s a great time to escape the wind and drop a line.

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

There has been large numbers of bream hanging around deeper holes and structures throughout the Noosa river. The best baits for bream include worms and prawns. At the top end of the river near the frying pan there has been reports of decent size whiting being caught. When targeting whiting its best to drop a line just at the drop off of a sand flat. The most successful baits include live worms and yabbies. Woods bay as always is a fantastic fishing spot at dawn and dusk and can often produce quality trevally and mangrove jack. Pilchards and mullet strips tend to be the best bait when fishing in and around Woods Bay. Their has been several reports of good flathead being caught anywhere from the Tewantin Marina all the way up to Makepeace Island. The fishing is great anywhere between the cable ferry crossing and the mouth of Lake Cooiobah, with several species such as golden trevally, bream, whiting and flathead being caught. This weeks weather forecast shows little chance of rain and a fine sunny weekend ahead.. It’s a great time to head out one morning and enjoy a good fish whilst the wind is down early in the day.

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