Bonanza prep mode: activated 🎣🔥

If you’re heading to the 2026 Snapper Bonanza on the mighty 90 Mile Beach, don’t roll up undergunned.

Swing past us at 562 State Highway 10, Taipa and load up properly. Fresh bait, rigs tied right, Snapper Candy’s stacked, and the kind of advice you get from people who actually fish these conditions year round.

Come in, say g’day to Brooke, Steve and Adam, and let’s get you dialled before the first cast.

A full week on 90 Mile. Big days. Big fish. Big yarns.

Fish hard. Fish smart. And all the very best for a cracking Bonanza week out there 💥🐟 🎣

Fresh in. Freshly bagged.

These anchovies don’t even get a welcome party. Straight into the bag and vac packed to seal in all that oily, firm goodness. Just prime bait ready for your hook. Blink and they’re gone.

Surfcasters rate them for a reason. Oily. Tough. Proper snapper magnets.

With Snapper Bonanza only weeks away and $30,000 on the line, this isn’t the time to be feeding the crabs freezer burnt leftovers.

If you want fresher, you’ll have to catch them yourself. Load up. Fish smart. Let the anchovies do the talking 🎣💸

Grab yours in store at 562 State Highway 10, Taipa.

We rate Asso Surf FC because it handles real beach conditions. Sand. Shell. Long casts. Current.

Fluorocarbon coated for added abrasion resistance
Low memory so you’re not fighting coils

Sometimes the smallest piece makes the biggest difference 🎣

Adam breaks down when where and how to use silicone tubing on your rigs
What it does
Why it matters
And when not to overthink it

Silicone tubing keeps your Snapper Candy’s close to the hook where it counts, while still allowing natural movement when a fish inhales your bait so the Candy’s can slide freely out of the bite zone instead of working against the hook up.

No fluff. Just real rig talk.

Grab silicone tubing, Snapper Candy’s and all your rigging essentials in store at Taipa Tackle or online at snappercandy.com under DIY RIGS

Build better rigs. Catch more fish 🍬🎣

Wind up? No worries 🌬️🎣

Doubtless Bay and the Karikari Peninsula have sheltered spots for every wind direction, you just need to know where to go.

That’s exactly why we put this guide together.
Check the forecast, pick the right beach, and spend more time fishing instead of battling the elements.

We’re open 7 days throughout the holiday period, 6am–6pm, so you can grab bait, tackle, rigs or a quick top up before or after a mission. Whether you’re on a tight budget or going all in, we’ve got options to suit everyone.

Best part? We’re locals 🏠
We fish these beaches, watch the conditions daily, and we’re always happy to point you in the right direction so you get the most out of your Far North holiday.

And let’s be honest… if you find the Mrs and kids a sheltered, calm spot, chances are they’ll be happy, relaxed, and suddenly you’ve “earned” a few extra hours fishing.
Win win 😜🎣

Save this post, check the wind direction, and fish smarter 🤙🌊

One of our very best mates Dion and the crew went wide today and had a day they’ll never forget 🤯🎣

Even better? Every fish was taken on topwater gear using stickbaits 💥👀

Surface eats, screaming reels, and memories locked in for life. The boys are well and truly fizzing ⚡🔥 and we’re fizzing for them 🎣💛💥

Just because we’re not part of some shiny big chain or franchise doesn’t mean we aren’t a mighty bait and tackle store, and we love it this way!Behind our storeroom door we’re buying fresh, bagging fresh, and sealing in the goodness faster than the fish can sniff it out.

This week we’ve been packing and stacking like Santa’s elves on espresso, loading the freezers for what’s shaping up to be a long, hot summer and some seriously good fishing. All species included 🎣

Parked in the heart of Doubtless Bay, you’re basically a stone’s throw from any coast, east, west, north, south. Whatever the wind’s doing, there’s always a sneaky nook to tuck into and tempt something hungry with fins.

Our bait freezers are now jam packed with the good stuff. Best prices, big range, and absolutely no freezer burnt mush on our watch. We love seeing your catches roll in, so keep the yarns, photos, and banter coming.

📍 562 State Highway 10, Taipa
Grab your bait and ice. Go catch the kai. Then come back and brag about it, we love to hear it. 🎣🔥 🌞
