School Holidays are here and Whiting on the Bite!

There has been some good size Bream in the Noosa River, mainly around deeper holes and structures. The best bait, when targeting bream is prawns and chicken meat. Whiting have been around the sand flats closer to the frying pan and Noosa River mouth. When fishing for whiting live baits such as worms and yabbies are the best baits. Flathead have been around down the bottom end of the river between the first ski run and the mouth of Lake Cooirobah. Soft plastics are generally the best form of fishing although mullet strips will also do the trick. As always the best time to get out and have a fish is the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the afternoon. There has been some great reports when fishing in Woods bay and the Noosa sound area late at night. When fishing in the Noosa river the best tide is the run out. The weather this week is tipped to be sunny with some moderate winds. It’s a great time to get out and drop a line down an estuary.

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