Offshore: Today's New Moon phase will have the fish on the bite well into the week, so be ready to go! Today's conditions will be a bit choppy throughout the day with winds east to southeasterly 10 to 15 knots, increasing to 15 to 20 knots offshore. Inshore winds tending south to southeasterly during the morning and seas around 1 metre, increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres offshore. Tomorrow's conditions will be similar with winds east to southeasterly 10 to 15 knots, increasing to 15 to 20 knots offshore and seas below 1 metre, increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres offshore. Mackerel and tuna have been feeding on local reefs as well as sweetlip and snapper. Trekka 2 skipper Mitch Bertacchini, did a five hour trip to Sunshine Reef on Wednesday in near perfect conditions. We caught plenty of fish despite having a couple of bananas on board. Coral trout, squire, grass emperor, spangled emperor, tusk fish and Moses perch. And we fished there again on Thursday morning. The fishing was pretty consistent the whole trip catching plenty of grass emperor and few squire and tusk fish. There was plenty of surface activity on the reef pretty much the whole trip with some large tuna seen jumping clean out of the water. Hall's Reefs have been producing spanish mackerel and small snapper. Spanish mackerel from Currimundi Reef. Spotty and spanish mackerel from Coolum. Caloundra The Gneerings, Caloundra 5 and 12 mile reefs have had a few solid spanish mackerel as well as keeper snapper, grass emperor, spangled emperor, tusk fish and Moses perch.
