tips for fishing the coomera river

[coomera-champ101]

Try both. Fish are not always predictable and certain winds will change the way fish feed. It may come down to what feels most comfortable, and of course which one gets results.

As previously mentioned, you will struggle to keep your line tight if you are fishing with light lures in the wind. You should be able to find canals that run across the wind direction and that will allow you to fish the protected sides of the canal. Of course if you are planning to cast lures and don't have an electric motor you will get blown around a fair bit, which will make it hard to pepper an area.

If we are getting blown around shoud we use a small anchor, something that will hold us in place but not too hard to pull up?? or have any other ideas??

yeah, a small anchor may help in certain spots. If you are going to use an anchor try to keep a reasonable distance away from the structure you plan to fish so you don't spook the fish when the anchor goes in the water.

Another idea would be to try to find an area where the wind or tide (or both) will either work together or against each other to result in a drift parallel to a section of structure you want to fish.

And of course, you can troll. If you troll lures you will be under the outboard power and your lines will be in the water so you will negate the wind to a large degree.

goin out lure fishing tommorow in the coomera river with SX40's and jackall chubby's where should we go and what should we look out for whilst fishing?
where is the best place to fish

help would be highly appreciated

thanks

[marty_z]

don't forget about the spots I already told you about, although they may be affected by the wind a fair bit.

if the wind hangs around tomorrow, you may be best of hiding in the canals at RiverLinks - the ones that run east to west will be reasonably protected from the southerly wind.

Good Luck
