OFFSHORE: With the chilly variable westerlies carrying over from last week, most offshore anglers took advantage of the daily weather pattern which saw lighter early morning winds ahead of the more blustery 15 to 20 knot late morning blow.
Squire, Pearl Perch and Moses Perch were pretty much common to most of the visited reefs. In addition, for those prepared to go the distance, The Hards produced Parrot Fish, Hussar and plenty of quality Snapper, as did Double Island Point but with the added bonus of Northern Bluefin Tuna and, as you can see by the two accompanying photos, Red Emperor and Gold Band Snapper. Graeme Murray from Brisbane (above) boated the 7.5kg 'Government Bream' he's posing with while out there on a full day Cougar Too charter on Saturday. And on the same charter, John Hohenhaus (below), also from Brisbane, boated this 8kg Goldband Snapper. Both anglers were using Wilson Live Fibre rods and Alvey 725C offshore reels loaded with 15kg line. Their baits? Pilchard/Squid combos.
A little closer in, Chardon's Reef was the spot for Squire, Maori Cod and Sweetlip while over on North Reef the extras were Cobia, Snapper, Sweetlip and Teraglin Jewfish. Not far from the coast, Arkwright Shoal was worth a pick drop with Shiny Mackerel, Sweetlip, Squire and Mowong all on the bite.
Further back up the line, Sunshine Reef yielded Snapper, Squire, Parrot Fish and Mowong. Last but not least, the relative shelter of Laguna Bay was a draw for the smaller boats with best results coming from North Hall's Reef where Northern Bluefin Tuna were responding well to live fish baits.

ONSHORE: The coastal surf beaches were a tad quiet although those who rugged up and ventured out along the North Shore stretch reported a few Whiting, Dart and Chopper Tailor up around the township of Teewah.
Over on the east side, Dart were still well represented at all locations and were of good quality. Apart from that; Marcus Beach produced Whiting, as did Peregian Beach but with the added bonus of quality Bream.
