Hey everyone, a busy week this last week with the weather turning it on and the fish cooperating for good measure with a few species being caught and some offshore action beginning to happen on the inner reefs at last with the Snapper finally making them selves known. ( See offshore fishing reports )

 Wednesday we had a trip up Noosa river for a change with Micheal and Margaret from Euroa in Victoria out with us for a morning session with Margaret getting off the mark early on with a small Flathead to start before kicking in to gear on the Jewfish in the middle reaches getting 3 nice school Jew along with a Bream, a Trevally and another Flathead for the session, Michel landed a hard fighting Trevally in the middle reaches for his effort.

Thursday afternoon we had Jim from Caloundra along with Les from Melbourne out with us on Maroochy River where Les was into the Flathead getting 6 for the arvo along with a pike but Jim caught the fish of the session, a beautiful hard fighting 55cm Maroochy River Jewfish.

Chris got a good strike going late in the session and landed the fish of the day being a 47cm Tailor which dove hard on several occasions before falling to the net, Chris caught 6 fish in total with the tally being 1 Tailor, 1 Bream and 4 Flathead.

Hello once again everyone I’m a little behind with the fishing reports-my apologies, we have been busy on the charter work and had some other things happening ( was at the retailers convention on the Gold Coast last week spoting all the new gear for 2011 ).

 On Sunday the 8th we had Vince from Alexandra Headland and Chris from Buderim out with us on Maroochy River for the morning session where Chris was in early with a Flathead to be followed up for the Morning with 2 more Flathead and a Bream. Chris however topped the show with A Bream, 5 small Flathead and a 44cm Flathead to then top it off with a beautiful 64cm specimen.

We pushed up to the middle reaches where I wet a line myself to be rewarded with a 75cm specimen. Darren ended up with 7 Bream and 6 Flathead for the day with Ronnie catching 4 Flathead and 3 Bream.

The Weekend saw me down the Gold Coast for the Retailers and Trade convention and I will do a separate blog for you guys on what’s new in the trade and what tackle and lures to look out for in the coming season.

 on Wednesday morning we had Louie from Victoria out with us on Maroochy River where Louie nabbed a Bream early on before the little Sol 2000’s drag went screaming off with a Trevallyto blame  and after a few long hard runs which saw Louie hitting overdrive on adrenalin it eventually fell to the net much to Louie’s delight. With another 2 bream in the bag for the session and a couple of missed strikes we rounded the morning off for a bag of 4.

Friday morning we were on the Maroochy River again with Matt from Sydney and Anthony from Bli Bli where Anthony was in early on with a nice Trevally that fought hard before hooking up on something solid, “it’s a stick” was the original quote before the “stick” woke up and went on a solid run to be followed by a few more before falling to the net to be a nice solid 62cm Flathead, Anthony bagged 3 more Flathead and 2 Bream. Matt bagged 4 Bream and 4 Flathead before getting nailed in the middle reaches with a solid hook up and a screaming run which saw the fish take a lot of line off the Sol 2000 reel running all the way across the river before we chased it down a bit with the electric Minn Kota where it did a few more runs and weaves around the boat before falling to the net to be a nice 53cm Trevally!
