GONE FISHIN' with Davo's
FISHING in the Maroochy River has been excellent lately, with the warmer weather stirring up some big fish.
FISH OF THE WEEK: Ben Pearce scored this huge mangrove jack out of Twin Waters.
Whiting and bream are on the chew at the moment, with the mouth of the Maroochy proving to be a popular destination this week.
If you're brave enough to venture down there during the early morning, tailor are also on the bite, with small pilchards and metal slugs being the most popular methods to catching a few.
Further up river, flathead have been feeding around the stretch between the Maroochy River Bridge and the Bli Bli Bridge, with trolling a small hard bodied along the sandy edges claiming plenty of fish.
On the beaches, North Shore has been popular this week, with plenty of bream, whiting, dart and tailor getting caught in the various surf gutters along the beach.
As usual, the early morning sessions have been the most productive, but if you're not much of a morning person, then the late avros are fishing pretty well too.
On the offshore scene, the Gneerings sections of reefs are holding some great snapper at the moment, with floated baits proving deadly.
The use of burley has been vital lately, and by cutting up some pilchards and putting a constant stream of burley into the water, you'll have snapper all around the boat in no time.
If you own and kayak and the weather conditions are favourable, the close in reefs located just off Coolum have been a popular destination for the kayakers, with plenty of snapper and sweetlips keeping them busy.
The winner of the Davo's fish of the week prize this week goes to Ben Pearce who scored this gigantic mangrove jack out of Twin Waters.
Ben scored a $50 gift voucher. For your chance to take out the Davo's fish of the week prize, drop by the store with your catch of the day and you're in the draw.
