Back in 2014, Suntag Qld reported on a bass that had an incredible journey from Lake Boondooma to Splitters Creek near Bundaberg, some 340km downstream. Just recently, some four years later, a second tagged fish from Boondooma has been recaptured, also in Splitters Creek.

Both bass were tagged back in 2006 and it is likely that they made the long journey at the same time on a single flow event having passed over two dam walls and four weirs.

Locally and from nearly all reports, beaches have still been providing plenty of bread and butter fish with heaps of whiting and bream taken on live beach worms.
A lot of anglers have been doing very well by casting hard body minnows and plastics into the better formed beach gutters inside the shore breaks to take home some nice flatties and bream.
There have been quite a few school jewies being pulled on plastics as well of late but alas the bigger fish still have yet to make their appearance.
