Offshore Fishing
The reefs off Bundaberg are fishing great for all the reef species. This time off year produces ideal weather patterns which inturn promote flat seas ideal for safe travel on the ocean.
The south westerlies usually drop out in the afternoon to produce safe conditions to venture out in the afternoon and early evening to catch small squire and snapper. These fish are great on the plate and are usually complimented with some nice reef fish that also make a great meal.
These fish can be caught on soft plastics or baits whatever pulls your chain it’s up to you but its is worth trying the plastics if you haven’t already as it is great fun deceiving these fish on lures.
The game fishing slows down this time of year but you can still catch large blues of the shelf. The smaller light tackle fish such as sailfish and small black marlin start to move in on the spit around September usually I find the barra fishing and the light tackle fishing seem to coincide.
You have to make the best of your situations in fishing all areas that you fish, our area is one of the best offering lots of alternatives. Often the coast is beaten by repeated trade winds and you can wait some time weeks before you can move offshore so it always great to give yourself some alternatives. So when coming to this area bring some alternative tackle as there is great creek fishing and impoundment fishing to compliment your offshore fishing. It can be tough to find your way and catch fish this is where you need a guide. It is very important part to having a successful holiday having the snaps with a few fish is a bonus. A guide will not only catch you fish but will give you some positive alternatives to catching fish in all areas.
