Bream as always, are out and about around structures and sandbanks. The best baits for targeting bream include prawns and yabbies. Whiting have been caught around sandbars near the dog beach. When targeting whiting, live baits such as worms and yabbies are the best. There has been tailor caught at dawn and dusk amongst the frying pan. The best baits for tailor include mullet strips and pilchard fillets. Flathead have been biting well in the Noosa river lately. Lures such as soft plastics and prawns are the best baits. The best place to target Flathead include sand flats anywhere from the dog beach all the way to the cable ferry crossing past Tewantin. The cable ferry crossing area towards Makepeace Island has been a great spot to drop a line with rewarding reports. Around Lake Cooriobah there has been some trevally caught on live herring and prawns. The weather seems to be fairly sunny with slight chances of showers during the week. A fine weekend is forecasted. It’s a great time for getting outside and wetting a line.

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

Due to all of the rain, the Noosa River is starting to turn back to a dirty brown colour. With the winter months here, the bream are on the bite. Some good size bream are being caught around the deeper holes and structures of the river, with prawns and mullet strips being the preferred baits. A few tailor are starting to appear around the Noosa rivermouth and Woods bay mainly caught on pilchards and lures. It’s still worth while throwing a line in around the shallows of the sand banks towards the rivermouth, for there are still a few whiting around, preferably using live baits such as yabbies and worms.The crabbing has been on a path for the better especially with the dirtier water around. From Tewantin down towards the first lake there has been numerous reports of mud crabs being caught. There are a few showers forecasted over the next week, although a fine weekend ahead. With the dirtier water about there is no better time to drop a line and throw a pot out.

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