Well the rain has brought the fishing to life this week with great catches of fish and a few mud crabs on the move. The rivermouth has produced quality flathead up to 2 kilo, with live herring and prawns bringing the best results. Golden trevally in large schools have also been on the move, with early morning producing quality fish. In Tewantin opposite the marina has seen a mixed bag of bream flathead and grunter bream. We fished the first lake yesterday and the catfish were prolific, but it was well worth dropping a crab pot up there. With the big tides early this week the weekend looks perfect with light winds and a sunny days.

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

This ripper flatty was caught aboard the Noosa Fishing and Crabbing adventure down near the Noosa Ski run!

Fishing has been great over the holidays with the river mouth showing the way with typical good catches of Flathead, bream, whiting, tailor and trevally. Bream as always have been a very popular fish in almost any area of the river, although they have been known to hang out around structures and deeper holes such as the Noosa Sound bridge. The best bait when targeting bream is prawns and worms. There has been some good size trevally and mangrove jack caught in Woods bay on dusk and dawn. Pilchards and mullet strips are a highlight bait when fishing in Woods Bay. We have has some great reports this week of some decent size Flathead caught down in the first ski run with prawns and soft plastics being the recommended baits. The best tide is either side if the high tide when it has a bit of run and movement. Mud crabs have also been plentiful down in the bottom areas of the river such as Lake Cooriobah and surrounding Makepeace Island. The weather is tipped to be little wind but slight chance of some showers over the weekend.
Until next week good luck from the boys at O Boats.

Noosa River Weekly Fishing Report!

Malylk from Sydney caught this ripper trevally at Lake Cooroibah!

There has been lots of bream in the river mainly around deeper holes, structures and rock surfaces such as the river mouth and the sound bridge. The rivermouth on dead high tide is a great spot to drop a line. Pilchard fillets have produced the best results in this area. Woods bay as always is a fantastic spot to drop a line in the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the afternoon. There has been several reports of giant trevally and mangrove jack caught in the bay using mullet strips and pilchard fillets. The stretch from Munna point to the Tewantin marina has been a popular spot for whiting and flathead. Live baits tend to produce the best results although prawns and cured worms are popular as well. There has been reports of some decent size golden trevally between Makepeace Island and Lake Cooriobah. Prawns and yabbies being the most successful baits. The weather forecast shows that it’s going to be a fantastic weekend ahead. A great time to get out on the Noosa River with family and friends and wet a line.
Until next week good luck from the boys at O Boats.
