Lagoon.
Take the kids and have fun, lots of “Pecker action” and be mindful of
Diamond Rays, there are a lot in the lagoon. Don’t be shy to put a big bait out
for the Malabar Rockcod, Cob or River Snapper use a 3/0 or 4/0 hook. Best times
for the big edibles is early morning and evening, if you are not staying in the
park you must be out the gate by 10pm so this will give you a chance have a go
at the big ones.
Surf.
Biggest Diamond so far this week is 79.95kg (Ori), today being day 3 of
North wind is a great time to target these giants. Lots of edibles been caught
mainly Shad and Snapper Cob however in the mix of this a Dusky Cob of 6kg was
landed. Lots of baby Hammer Head sharks are in the surf zone, please handle
them with respect and release them as soon as possible i.e. don’t drag them up
the beach pick them out of the water and remove the hook and pop them back into
the sea, the Hammer head shark is under great pressure, if you want to swim a
shark use another species.
Ski Boat.
Tuna and Couta are here at last. Our Charter on Wednesday boated 3 Tuna
and dropped a Croc of a Couta, they also got some Morph Grunter, Snapper Cob
and Square Tail Cob. Today’s charter is safely out of the mouth and the launch
was according to the skipper (An Eventful one) a bit of scrumming was involved
to clear the big sand bank near the stone wall. Sunday morning will be fun as
there is going to be a que of boats waiting to go out.
