The weather forecast for the week ahead is truly spectacular. Thankfully, as getting out on the boat or kayak last week had challenges with strong winds and heavy rain later in the week. However, the start of the week was fantastic with snapper, gummy sharks, whiting and squid fishing...

Last week seemed like we had all seasons in one. The week started with pleasant conditions and gentle winds, but the rest of the week was impacted by heavy rain and strong winds. It certainly means getting out on the boat or kayak was very challenging. This presented a...

It seemed that land-based fishing was just about the best option available last week. With strong, persistent winds and heavy rain, getting out on the boat or yak had its challenges, but it didn’t stop land-based anglers from catching some cracking fish. Last week, snapper were back on the...
