All fish just love a prawn

A nice picture of a Haughton river shark one of our regulars sent in today.

We are already starting to get influx of photos from people using the new prawn colours that we launched at the Cardwell Seafest, we even got a chance to head down the river Saturday morning and catch a few Barra ourselves, we lost a few lures to bull sharks eating the Barra over the weekend, and a few of the Barra landed had battlescars also, it's becoming an ever occuring problem in the rivers south of Townsville. Upcoming good tides and moon to catch a Barra or a fingermark next weekend and the coral reef fin fish spawning closure and northern mackerel closure reef fishing is off limits we are looking forward to spending some time off in the rivers next week. With the water warming up next weekend should be cracking fishing so if you need to restock just message the page for local Townsville pickup or head to Goldstar Fishing for the Aus wide postage options.

Little snippet of a recent family day out in the boat, the REEL MANS BAIT garfish on our easy mackerel rig lasts barely a minute goes to show how good fresh local caught bait is, my opinion the local garfish are fresher and shinier making it easier for mackerel to spot them compared to your generic "dull" bait garfish from down south. We will be at the Cardwell Seafest at the end of the month be sure to come down and ask for a demo on how to rig a garfish to troll, will have our full Barra range on display, some special deals, also some complete lure packs made up with all the lures and colours handpicked by our skipper Scott he has already got the first 3 packs we made up stashed in our lure testing tinny "true blue". Just remember a fish has never stopped to read the price tag on a lure yet stop paying to much for your gear and do it the goldstar way.

More photos from our regular customers, good to see our lures getting put to good use. If you want some lures you can afford to throw deep enough into the snags to catch the fish head to goldstarfishing.com, but for all the locals looking to save on postage and wanting some tips on using any of our products or just want to chat fishing in general you can catch us at the Cardwell Seafest. We will have all our variations of mackerel rigs and some garfish from REEL MANS BAIT giving some live demos on how we rig them, we will also be able to run you through some tips for catching fingermark, barramundi,coral trout and of course Spanish Mackerel.. We are currently testing some new products to hopefully launch at the seafest, so be sure not to miss your chance to be one of the first to get your hands on them.

More photos we received back of customers with the vibes doing the damage this time, looks like those heavy duty vmc hooks we fit standard to our vibes are earning there keep once again with these ripper Daytime fingermark caught in the Cleveland Bay area.

Some photos we received of some of our regular customers from over the weekend with the mackerel caught on our trolling rigs and the prawn still doing the damage in the local creeks for the guys with the cold water temps, and a cheeky Barra I caught while testing out the install of the new Watersnake electric motor on "true blue" our inshore vessel, I didn't have long to fish but found Barra in good numbers in the upper reaches of the local creeks.

Vibes have hit the website, be quick as they have nearly sold out before arriving due to a heap of pre orders.

This lure was designed and altered just for us, unlike many of our competitors we have upgraded our hooks making them ready to use straight out of the packet, because this is our all time favourite barramundi lure and nobody uses our lures more than us. This soft vibe will catch a range of different...

In these videos you will find a couple of hidden tricks to using wogheads, sorry for the poor film quality we are commercial fishermen not film makers 😂 but back to the point tow the first mackerel to hook the second, and when there sitting deep a massive advantage of using wogheads and garfish is the ability to open the bail arm or stop the boat on the spot to allow them to sink like a wounded baitfish. Spanish Mackerel are by far my favourite fish to catch I will never get sick of that sound of a screaming reel. Visit goldstarfishing.com if your chasing some of our rigs to head out and get amongst some of this action.
