Weather for the week
Weather looking good for the week ahead long may it last, Thursday
afternoon just before the buster comes through, going to be a cracker for
fishing if you can get to the beach.

Buster), max temp 31. Barometer 1004 dropping to 1002 before rising sharply to
1007 at the onset of the SW coming through.
Lagoon.
Lagoon fished well in bursts with nice size Snapper Cob being landed to
the right of the main car park. The Whole or Bait prawn is proving itself to be
as deadly as we thought because the Prawn is the same species as we get in the
river and this is what the fish are looking for. We are expecting a delivery of
more today.
Surf.
Although the weather was good fishing was slow and the biggest diamond
was caught on a ski boat behind the wreck. There are shad about but very small.
From the guys coming into the shop it seemed as though we have hit a flat spot,
water colour was good, but the side wash was quiet strong but starting to calm
down.
Ski Boat
Not as great out at sea as last weekend, lots of boats went out and it
seems our charter caught the most, we were fishing bottoms only and got lots of
Square tail Cob and Slinger. Yesterday on our second charter one of the
youngsters got stuck into a massive Slinger, the biggest we have seen in ages
but as we were boating it, it spat the hook, we were very sad about that and
the lad was so sad he got seasick straight after the event but continued to
fish on and out fished the anchor man. The week ahead looks good for morning
fishing, the sea is starting to colour and should warm up, and over the weekend
it was 21deg in the bay.
News from the Shop.
We stocking up for the long weekends and planning for our first “Holiday
season”, we sure we got it right so pop in and find out what is doing what why
and when .
