Fishing Report 12 October 2020
Weather for the week.
We have a crazy
week ahead of us with every second day going over 30deg, with SW and NE winds
with big seas.
Lagoon.
I was on the
river this morning and we fished the area of the stone wall and watch
helplessly as 4 local lads were catching nice size River Bream with hand lines
and we managed a crab between 3 of us, I offered them our bait when we left and
I could see the fear in their eyes for 2 reasons one they did not want our useless
bait and 2 if they did not accept it they were going to be forced to accept it
hahahahaha. Yet again this proves River Bream are best targeted close to the
shore but no what do we do? We stand on the river bank and belt our baits into
the middle. Louis and the kids included our Angling club chairman got stuck
into a variety of species of fish in the main car park namely Grunter spotted
and Javelin, Cape Moonfish, Brassy Kingfish, Shad and a few others so although
the water has not settled it is still fishable.
Surf.
Friday night
was the best chance to fish all week and Gerhard and Willie went for a throw as
well as some others, they caught a undersize Kob and an angler fishing nearby
tagged it, nice to see guys are still out there putting number plates on fish
well done that angler. On Saturday morning some guys went down and were
rewarded with Snapper, lots and Small Shad and spinners. Today the surf was
very big making fishing not very comfortable.
Ski Boat
Sarel and crew
headed out on Friday after been land locked for so long and were rewarded with
some Yellow fin Tuna and 2 Tropical Amberjacks, the was some debate as to what
type of fish the Amberjacks were as some members were convinced they were
Rainbow Runners, this created some good banter in what turned out to be a rather
boring game of rugby or was it because a bunch of anglers were sitting around
the table chatting about Sarel’s trip and having a laugh. Just some useless
information in some countries Amberjacks are called the Donkey of the sea, they
lie around the bottom of the sea and when caught kick up a hell of a fight, there
are also several different types of Amberjacks. The Amberjacks were caught on spoons
jigging. Whilst they were out there Sarel picked up a Dusky shark of about 2m
that kept him busy for nearly a hr before they cut it off next to the boat.
