Rainbow Beach Fishing Report May 2020

Mat Cooper

Hi everyone,

Well ,it’s crazy times alright and unfortunately we had to make the decision to close charters to prevent people coming to Rainbow and being a potential risk.

It wasn’t long after the restrictions were brought in which would have forced it anyway.

We managed to get a couple of trips in beforehand and the fishing was exceptional with some great quality Spangled Emperor, Pearl perch, reds and snapper.

Also no shortage of big parrot and husser around with the odd trout amongst them.

Mackerel and tuna have been hit and miss, but are quite thick when around.

Along the beaches some great gutters are forming again which have been producing some cracker whiting along with dart and bream.

The odd flathead has been landed from these gutters as well. It looks like this will be the last report for a while unless I get out for a quiet fish.

Hope everyone is finding ways to pass the time and not going too crazy.

Until next month, take care.

Cheers Mat
