Hi Tide 29th Nov 2025 In Full

This week on Hi Tide, proudly brought to you by Blake’s Marine, the Fishing Fellas wrap up a wild week of weather and look ahead to a big summer of fishing, camping and time on the water. After storms and bruising conditions across parts of NSW and Queensland, the team talk about reading the forecast, knowing your limits and making smart calls before you launch the boat or head to the beach. We cross north to Kieran Reekie with an update on the latest marine weather and coastal conditions, including what the week of rain, wind and sunshine has done for the bite. There’s a fresh Maroochydore report, with whiting in the river, mangrove jack in the creeks and good flathead caught on lures and live baits. Kieran also reinforces a simple message for everyone on the water: if in doubt, don’t go out. The crew spend time on the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) – how did the cost of their new internet site blow out so much. What is the truth behind the spend, where has the money gone and what did we get,. From there they dive into a conversation about so-called “sharky water” – those times when the colour, smell and feel of the ocean just doesn’t sit right. They talk about flooded, brown water, foam lines, eerie conditions and the way the hairs stand up on the back of your neck when something feels off. It’s a reminder to trust your instincts, pick your days and never be afraid to pull the pin if it doesn’t look or feel safe, no matter what the forecast says. Looking ahead, the Fishing Fellas are looking forward to hearing from Stephen Bowler, who is sharing safety tips for camping in and around our national parks – from watching the weather and the terrain to being aware of hidden dangers that can catch people out. They also flag upcoming chats with legendary coastal angler Paul Burt and Matt from Salamander Bay, who will be talking through Port Stephens and Salamander Bay fishing options, local species and how to make the most of a day on the water around that part of the coast. The program closes with thanks to Kieran Reekie and the rest of the Hi Tide family, along with one last reminder to watch the BOM, keep an eye on the sky, stay safe around sharks, surf and storms, and enjoy your time outdoors. If you are chasing a friendly, easy-to-follow mix of NSW and Queensland fishing updates, BOM weather chat, shark-sense talk and camping safety tips, this episode of Hi Tide will help you plan smarter trips on both land and sea.
