I have noticed an old trend re-emerging in the fishing scene, we have an increase in parents finding that little bit more “free time” to spend with the kids (Tacklerats in the making) and so they are taking the kids fishing! This is an awesome result as you are getting the kids outside away from […]
Sometimes finding fish can become tough, but these are the times that can make the next fish that you catch feel like you have accomplished something in that fishing session. The key to finding fish in these tough times is to keep casting, due to that the more your bait or lure is in the […]

Thankfully, catch and release fishing has caught on in the past couple of […]
Squid. Still a few good size squid around the traps. Smaller numbers are being caught between Redcliffe and Woody point. Reports of larger sized Tiger Squid being boated toward the Brisbane river mouth.
