Fraser Coast Water Temperature Drop – Change of Season
Cold mornings, foggy skies and Ugg boots, yep it is winter on the Fraser Coast. Well, if the truth be told, winter on the Fraser Coast only really lasts for a few days, usually around the end of June when night time temperatures drop well below 10 degrees. July then sees the air temperature slowly…
Fishing Challenge – Three Lures Only Allowed
Are you up for a fishing challenge? One of the ways I like to challenge myself while fishing, is to try and catch fish using lures which I have never used before. Not only do I deliberately use lures which I have never used before, but I try these lures in the most basic way…
Match the Hatch to Catch Your Fish

That being, that they are all incredibly observant, at times freakishly in tune with what is happening within the environment around them.

Boating & Trailer Safety
Who does not love a little boat & trailer maintenance? Another, awesome week has flown by. Which saw many of us out enjoying the great outdoors, fishing & exploring. Sadly, however, the past week has also been marked with tragedy. With a few people losing their lives on the water & several people surviving some…
Fishing During A Hot Fraser Coast Summer
Hurray for summer!! Without a doubt one of the best times of year to fish the Fraser Coast is during the summer months. As water temperatures rise we start to see huge schools of longtail and mack tuna enter Fraser Coast waters. Summer whiting start to fire throughout the Great Sandy Strait, various reef species,…
