Fishing Report 7 August 2020
Weather for the Weekend.
It is going to be a windy one with a
fishing gap on Sunday morning, the
weather was looking good for Monday up until yesterday but that seems to
change, Sunday will be a very hot day with a buster coming through late
afternoon, not going to be fun getting caught outside in that.
Lagoon
When walking around on the walk ways
or trails , even in the fishing spots you will come across pretty stones that
the kids have decorated, these are called “Zini Rocks” now Zini Rocks are left
behind in “hiding places” and the idea of finding them is you must move them
from where they are to another spot about 1m away and put down so they can be
found again, they get very upset if you do not move them and more so if you
take them home, going Zini Rocking is fun for the whole family and why not make
some at home and bring them with you to add to the family. Not a lot of fishing
has been going on last week because of the weather however young Mark messing
around with a lure caught a nice big River Bream, it was an old fella with big
round teeth, he released it as it is good brood stock especially as it survived
so long.
Surf
One of our most sort after winter fish
the Garrick have started to be caught in bigger numbers and this will last for
a few months however as I believe these fish migrate here to span may we should
follow the example of some of the local lads and release them, while fishing
for them the big Shad and occasional Kob are been caught. Diamonds are now been
caught in bigger numbers in the mouth area and it is this time of year they
start making an appearance although they are mainly caught here captures for
the next few months can be sporadic however we are planning to start targeting
Zambies earlier this year than we did last year as we believe they will follow
the Diamonds and come closer to shore. Spinners are still here and can be a “pest”
taking the live bait however I am a firm believer in that when you are catching
Spinners you are in the feeding zone so keep going eventually a fish must take
your bait before spinners do.
Ski boat
If anyone is up at the mouth over the
weekend can they please report what it looks like as some guys are planning to
go out on Monday, the last reports we had was on Monday earlier this week and
that was it is very shallow and pulling back hard on the outgoing tide.
