Peregian Originals: Great live music with Tigerlilly, Tea Society, Bandito Folk and Hayden Hack Infusion this Sun 9 Nov at Peregian Originals, in the park next to Peregian Surf Club, 1-5pm, powered by donations
Katrina from Cronulla had a nice bonus experience with a fresh mud crab steamed up on board in a special sauce whilst on a fishing tour on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure.
This week has seen some great catches of whiting through the stretches
of Noosaville with some tipping the ruler at 40cm. You must be patient for the bigger fish though as the smaller fish are quick at attacking the bait. But with patients there are some big flathead, trevally and tailor being caught at the river mouth, Woods Bay. Best baits have been live baitfish, yabbies and live worms.
There has been some quality flathead around the river mouth on the run in tide. The most successful results have been drifting using pilchards and white bait .
Weyba creek has produced average size whiting and flathead drifting over the sandbars and up towards the bridge. Between the top lakes has been good for grunter bream and the odd mangrove jack and maybe a threadfin salmon on lures and live baits.
Until next week good luck from the boys at O Boats.
Katrina from Cronulla had her first taste of a mud crab on our recent Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure and had a great day out fishing.

Bella from Taiwan didn’t catch the fish of the day but she was very intrigued with her catch of a small flounder that went back to fight another day. She had a great day out on our Noosa Fishing and Crab charter.
Harrison and Alannah up on holidays from #Sydney were chuffed to land a heap of chunky whiting on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour.
At times when schools of baitfish are about there was plenty of action at the river mouth with plenty of flathead, tailor, trevally, and whiting feeding. As the baitfish moved up river the Frying Pan, Woods Bay and Gympie Terrace waters were also active with flathead, tailor, bream, whiting and trevally.
Up the reaches towards Lake Weyba we saw the same varieties being caught along with a few moses perch and estuary cod and up before Lake Cooroiba the same with the odd mangrove jack in the deeper holes and around structures.
There are still plenty of big whiting up to 40 odd cm active on the sand flats and best results are in the Noosaville reaches and on live sand worms.
Right up river between the top two lakes there are tarpon to be caught, jacks and the odd threadfin salmon and jewies on the prowl.
Both tides are fishing well with more action towards the top of each tide and less on the lower tide changes. Live baitfish, worms and yabbies always give you the edge but fresh prawns, soft plastics and lures are also worth a go.
There are still a few sand crabs around Weyba Creek and lower reaches.
There is the odd shower and late storm about this week with some windy periods however there is always plenty of safe calm waters to fish in the Noosa River.
Until next week good luck from the boys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.
Josh and Matt from Melbourne didn’t land any huge fish but had great fun catching whiting, bream and even an angelfish when on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure this week.
Up on holidays from the Hunter Valley Robert earned himself with the fish of the week with this nice 40cm whiting he caught on the Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventure tour.
Still good whiting are on the bite this week but most of them have moved up river with the best catches up at Lake Cooroibah.
The Noosa river mouth was patchy with mainly larger predators on the prowl of baitfish where we saw tailor, trevally and the odd cobia caught and jew fish active very early or late in the day. Live bait seem to work best as always here.
The frying Pan, Woods Point and Bays have whiting, bream, flathead and the odd trevally on the bite while Weyba Creek much the same with some moses perch and cod also. The stretch along Noosaville saw whiting on the sand banks, bream, flathead and trevally caught mostly on live worms, yabbies or white bait.
Further up at both entrances to the first lake we saw good sized whiting, some flathead and bream but the bottom of the tide showed little action.
Between the top lakes early and late there are a few large jewies and jacks on offer and more active if you have live bait fish or lures can also work.
There are still several sand crabs getting around the mouth of Weyba Creek and opposite Munna Beach.
Partly cloudy to start the week but then sunny days leading up to what looks like another busy weekend on the Noosa River and just some cloud early next week.
Until next week good luck from the boys at Noosa Fishing and Crab Adventures.
