Lagoon.
We are having mixed reports about what is biting at the lagoon, from
some people catching nothing to some catching a lot. If an area is not working
move to another spot till you find a working area, if you do not have a boat
walk along the trial towards the river mouth and whilst on the trial you will
come to spots where you can fish from. If your bait is coming back with mud on
it is because you are fishing in an area with silt, float your bait either from
the top or bottom up.
Surf.
Surf has been slow in fact very slow, with side wash and weed to contend
with, try move to other spots, with the barometer been as low as it was over
the weekend causes the fish to slow down and not feed as much however they must
feed. I am led to believe Amatikulu was full of Shad on Friday and Saturday,
why not try there.
Ski Boat.
Game fish were scarce over the weekend however yesterday morning a guy
on a Jet Ski got 3 decent size Tuna all before 6am. What a lovely Christmas
present. On Sunday some very big slinger were caught together with Squaretail
Cob. Friday saw big Rockcod boated. One of the boats had a Ragged Tooth Shark
pick up a bait on a trap stick and it breached a few times during the fight,
not a common occurrence.
